DUMPSTER SIZES

Trash Daddy has numerous dumpster sizes available.

Dumpster rentals come in a wide variety of sizes.  A small number of companies have dumpsters as small as 4 cubic yards; however, that is not the norm in this industry.  At Trash Daddy Dumpsters, we only rent the large dumpster sizes.  Below you will see all of the sizes we have available, along with approximately how much trash or junk they can hold.

This is a list of all sizes we offer, but remember that not every size is available in every area.  Click the service areas link above and find the area nearest you to see exactly what sizes and weight limits are available there.  
10 yard dumpster size

10 Yard Dumpster

A 10 yard is the smallest we rent in any area.  It's got a very small "footprint" being only about 11 feet long.  This makes it ideal for small properties or driveways, or anyplace where space is tight.  Keep in mind - when throwing things away, it's very common to have more than you realize.  This makes the larger sizes usually a better option.  However, if you don't have room for a larger size, a 10 or 15 yard can be a good option.

12 Yard Dumpster

The 12 yard dumpster is the 2nd smallest size we rent.  There are not as many available as 20s and 30s, but there are more of this size than 10s and 15s in almost every area.  This is a little bit longer, but it's not real tall and can also fit into tighter spots.  This size also comes in a "heavy can" option for contractors or heavy material.  More on that below.

15 Yard Dumpster

The 15 yard dumpster is a popular size, but it's not available in every area.  It's a smaller size and will hold a little bit more junk than a 12 yard.  This is a popular size with contractors, especially if the debris is heavy material like concrete, brick, or dirt.  This size will also have a "heavy can" option for heavier material. This just means it will have a much higher weight limit for the price than a standard rental.

20 Yard Dumpster

The 20 yard dumpster is one of our most popular sizes everywhere.  What makes it so popular is it's large enough to dispose of a lot of junk, but it will still fit in most driveways.  Also, customers like that it's not real tall, making it easy to throw trash in over the side.  This size is readily available in every area and is a great value.

30 Yard Dumpster

A 30 yard dumpster is another very popular size, especially among contractors.  It can handle any job, large or small.  It has a higher weight limit to help keep the total cost down.  This size is one of the best options for the price, because there are so many available.  A larger size like this allows for the removal of a lot more debris.
trash daddy 40 yard dumpster size

40 Yard Dumpster

A 40 yard is the largest dumpster we rent in any area.  This is a popular size for larger jobs, but it is not as readily available in many areas as a 20 or 30 yard.  The 40 yard has a higher weight limit and is for larger clean up jobs like large remodeling projects or home demo projects.  It's still affordable and is the same length as the 20 and 30, making it another popular dumpster size.

In Dumpster Rental, Bigger is Usually Better

Don't let this happen to you!
We often get customers asking about smaller sizes in an effort to try to keep the cost down.  In dumpster rental, that actually can work against you.  More often than not, when you start throwing away old junk, most people end up having a lot more than they realize.  It's very easy to over fill the dumpster.  ​
Dumpsters should never have any debris sticking up over the edge.  If they do, in most areas legally they cannot be hauled on the road.  You can learn more watching our short video of dumpster rental guidelines everyone should be aware of when renting a dumpster.  

Typically there are not as many of the smaller sizes.  They have a lower weight limit and cannot carry as much debris.  Also, the price difference from the smaller sizes to the larger sizes is very small.  So the larger dumpsters are a much better value.  The higher weight limit, load capacity, value and availability make the 20s, 30s and 40s a better option usually, which is why they are so popular.

The "Heavy Can"

Need to dispose of heavy material like rock, brick, concrete or shingles?  Trash Daddy offers a "12 yard heavy can".
Typically used by contractors, the 12 yard and 15 yard dumpsters are commonly used for very heavy material.  This is because the larger sizes will be often too heavy for a truck to pick up if filled with any heavy debris.  The flat rate is higher, but the weight limit is also much higher. This helps to keep your overall costs lower.  Ask us about a "heavy can" if you need to dispose of anything extremely heavy.
