What fits in a 40 yard dumpster?

A 40 yard dumpster is the largest standard size available and is designed for major cleanups. It typically holds:

  • Construction or demolition debris from large renovations or commercial projects
  • Whole-home cleanouts, including large basements, attics, and garages
  • Debris from major remodeling projects (multiple bathrooms or a full kitchen/basement)
  • Large furniture sets and bulky household items
  • Multiple appliances (washers, dryers, stoves)

This makes the 40 yard dumpster the best choice for contractors, estate cleanouts, and large-scale residential or commercial renovations where maximum capacity is required.
