10 yard
  • Small home decluttering project – If you plan to toss out more trash than will fit in your standard trash can, you might want to rent a 10-yard dumpster rental when decluttering. This is the perfect size dumpster for spring cleaning, too.

  • Garage cleanouts – When you need to clear out the garage, you might have a lot of junk to toss out. Placing a 10-yard dumpster rental in your driveway can make this project simple.

  • Basement cleanouts – Using a 10-yard dumpster will give you the space you need to toss out all the junk you don’t want.

  • Roof replacement – The weight of shingles and other roofing materials make a smaller dumpster rental ideal for roof replacement projects.

  • Concrete or dirt removal – Both concrete and dirt are very heavy and cannot be transported in larger dumpsters. A smaller dumpster rental will fit best for these heavier materials when you need to toss them out.

  • Small kitchen or bathroom remodel – A smaller remodeling project won’t create enough trash for a larger dumpster. With a 10-yard dumpster rental, you can handle small kitchen or bathroom remodeling jobs

30 yard
  • 30-yard dumpsters can hold about 9 pickup truck loads. Although you can fit a lot of junk and debris into this size, make sure you pay attention to the weight of your items. Typically, the weight capacities range from 2-10 ton weight limit, which is between 4,000- 20,000 lbs.

  • Commercial Renovations - Renovating an office to make it more eco-friendly or to get it ready for a new tenant is a lot of work. This type of project will require a larger dumpster rental.

  • Large Furniture - When you need to toss out lots of furniture, especially if it’s larger pieces, you need a 30-yard dumpster rental for all the junk furniture you want to dispose of.

  • Pallet disposal – If you have pallets piling up, you can use a 30-yard dumpster to dispose of all the pallets at one time.

  • Deck – When you need to tear down a deck, you can expect a lot of trash materials that need to be tossed out. A 30-yard dumpster offers a great choice for this type of project.
