Are you planning a project in Arvada and feeling a little overwhelmed by the dumpster options? 🗑️ Choosing the right dumpster size can make or break your cleanup experience, but don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Whether you’re tackling a home renovation, a landscaping overhaul, or a big construction project, this guide will help you find the perfect dumpster size for your needs. After all, you don’t want to end up with a container that’s too small (leading to extra costs) or too big (wasting space and money).
Let’s dive into the world of dumpster sizes to help you make a confident choice that fits your project like a glove.
Before we get into the specifics, let’s chat about why picking the right size is so important. Arvada has a unique mix of urban and suburban areas, which means space can be tight in some neighborhoods. You don’t want a massive 40-yard dumpster sitting in your driveway for weeks if a smaller option would do the trick. Choosing the right dumpster size not only saves money but also ensures you stay compliant with any local regulations, especially if you need a permit for street placement.
If you’re unsure about sizing, check out our Arvada dumpster rental services for more insights. Let’s take a closer look at each size to see which one might be your perfect fit.
Think of the 12-yard dumpster as your go-to for minor cleanouts and small renovations. It holds roughly 50-60 trash bags, making it great for:
This size is perfect for homeowners looking to get a quick job done without taking up much space. It’s also the most affordable option, so if you’re working with a smaller budget, the 12-yard might be the way to go.
The 20-yard dumpster is often the most popular choice because it’s versatile enough for many different projects. With almost twice the capacity of the 12-yard, it can handle roughly 100-120 trash bags. Here’s when you might want to go with a 20-yard:
If your project seems like it could be a “borderline” case, opting for the 20-yard gives you extra room while keeping costs manageable. Check out our 20-yard dumpster rentals for more details.
đź’ˇPro Tip: the cost to "size up" to a larger size is very small in Arvada (and all over Denver). The reason for that is because most haulers have a lot more 20s and 30s in inventory than any other size. So the 20 yard and 30 yard sizes are going to always be the best value.
For larger home improvement projects, the 30-yard dumpster is a solid choice. It can hold approximately 150-180 trash bags and is great for:
This size strikes a good balance between capacity and space. You’ll have plenty of room for bulky items and construction debris without overcommitting to a 40-yard. Plus the 30 yard is probably the most readily available size in all of Colorado.
When you’re dealing with serious construction projects, you need the big guns. The 40-yard dumpster can accommodate about 200-240 trash bags and is ideal for:
This size isn’t for the faint of heart, but when you need it, nothing else will do the job. If you're embarking on a huge project, take a look at our 40-yard dumpster options to learn more.
