When it comes to renting a dumpster, most people focus on size: 10 yard, 20 yard, 40 yard, and so on. But there’s another crucial factor that’s just as important: weight.
\r\n\r\n
Every dumpster rental comes with an included weight in the cost. If your debris weight exceeds the included weight for your dumpster, you can incur extra charges. By understanding the type of debris you're throwing out as well as roughly how much you have and how much it will weigh, you'll be prepared and confident you're renting the perfect dumpster for you.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Whether you're cleaning out your home, tearing off a roof, or tackling a bathroom renovation, the type of debris you're throwing out plays a big role in how much your dumpster will weigh when it's full.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Understanding debris weight is easy, and it helps you:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Choose the right dumpster size
\r\n\t
Keep your project running smoothly
\r\n\t
Avoid overage charges
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
We'll help you understand how much different waste types typically weigh so you can better evaluate a quote from a dumpster service, both the upfront price and any potential additional costs from debris weight.
\r\n\r\n
We'll help you answer the question: Is the included weight on my dumpster quote enough or will I likely have extra charges?
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
How Much Common Debris Types Weigh
\r\n\r\n
When estimating the weight of a loaded dumpster, both the type of debris and the dumpster size play a major role. Different materials have different densities, and as a result, a full dumpster of household junk will weigh significantly less than one filled with roofing shingles or concrete.
\r\n\r\n
Below is a general guide to what you can expect based on typical weight ranges.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Note: The weight included in a dumpster's price is typically measured in tons. One ton is the equivalent of 2,000 lbs.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Trash or Household Junk
\r\n\r\n
Household junk typically includes general trash, furniture, clothes, toys, boxes, light appliances, etc. Weighing only 100-250 lbs per cubic yard, it's relatively lightweight. Even if you fill a large dumpster, you likely won’t go over the weight limit unless you're disposing of heavier items like books, old appliances, or solid wood furniture.
\r\n\r\n
Take a look at the table below to get an idea for how much a dumpster will weigh when it's full of household trash. Keep in mind, these estimates are only averages, and your household trash may weigh more or less. The included weight of each dumpster size will also vary from one company to another, so make sure you're aware of how much weight is included in the price before renting.
Tip: Household junk is usually the lightest type of debris, but it can still add up, especially if you're tossing heavier items like old couches or a garage full of clutter.
Construction and demolition debris (C&D) typically includes drywall, wood, flooring, cabinetry, plaster, concrete, siding, etc. Weighing approximately 250-1,000 lbs per cubic yard, it's one of the debris types that can add up quickly even if the dumpster isn't full. Because of this, a smaller dumpster is typically recommended, if not required, so you avoid exceeding truck hauling limits.
\r\n\r\n
In the table below, you can see how much a dumpster will weigh on average when it's full of construction or demolition debris. Remember that these are averages, and your C&D debris may weigh more or less.
\r\n\r\n
The amount of weight included in the price for each dumpster size can differ depending on the rental company, so it’s important to confirm how much weight is included before you book. Likewise, C&D debris is much heavier than household junk, so always check a dumpster's weight limit before renting too.
The most common roofing shingles are asphalt shingles, which are very dense and heavy. Weighing 250-300 lbs per 100 square feet, the average American shingle roof (1,700 sq ft) weighs an average of 2.125-2.55 tons (4,250-5,100 lbs). Your roof may weigh more or less than these averages depending on its size, how much of the roof decking materials need to be removed, the number of layers, etc.
\r\n\r\n
Because asphalt shingles are so heavy, many rental companies restrict shingle disposal to smaller dumpster sizes to avoid overweight loads.

\r\n\r\n
Is the Included Weight of My Dumpster Enough?
\r\n\r\n
Now that you have a better idea of what your debris type weighs and roughly how much you have, it's easy to determine whether or not a specific dumpster size and included weight is enough for your project.
\r\n\r\n
When finding a dumpster on Hometown, it's easy to compare dumpster costs as well as included weights and overage fees.
\r\n\r\n
As you can see above, each dumpster quote includes:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Cost to rent that dumpster size
\r\n\t
How much weight is included in the dumpster price
\r\n\t
Cost per ton if you go over the included weight
\r\n\t
How many days are included in the dumpster price
\r\n\t
Cost per day if you keep the dumpster longer than your included rental period
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
When determining which dumpster is right for you, you'll want to consider all of these factors.
\r\n\r\n
Ask yourself the following questions...
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Roughly how much debris do I have? (1 cubic yard is roughly the size of a standard kitchen stove.)
\r\n\t
Roughly how much does the debris I have weigh? (See the charts above for average weights for common debris types.)
\r\n\t
Is it cheaper if I pay more upfront for a larger dumpster/higher weight limit?
\r\n\t
How much will I be paying in total if I go over the included weight for a specific dumpster?
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
If you're tossing household junk and trash, the volume of debris you have is typically enough information to know which dumpster size is right for your project. This is because household junk and trash are lightweight and very rarely exceed a dumpster's included weight. However, if you are disposing of heavy furniture, make sure you keep weight in mind as well.
\r\n\r\n
If you are disposing of heavy debris, like C&D debris or roofing shingles, however, you will want to take weight into close consideration. Here's an example...
\r\n\r\n
Let's say you have 5 cubic yards of concrete to dispose of. You'll need to consider the weight included in the dumpster price and the cost per extra ton, not just whether or not it will fit inside the dumpster. For example, let's say the company's 10 yard heavy debris dumpster—a low-boy dumpster specifically designed for carrying dense, heavy debris—includes 8 tons of weight for the price of $500. Even if you only have 5 cubic yards of concrete (average weight of 10.125 tons) and it would physically fit inside the 10 yard dumpster, the weight of that amount of concrete will exceed the included weight (8 tons), and incur an additional fee per ton ($100 per ton x 2.125 tons = $212.50 in overage fees).
\r\n\r\n
In this scenario, if you went with the 10 yard dumpster for $500 (including 8 tons of weight), you would end up paying roughly $712.50 including the overage fees. Now, let's say that same company offers a 15 yard dumpster for $550 and 9 tons of weight for the price. You would end up paying $550 base price + $112.50 for going one ton over the included weight = $662.50. In this case, choosing the larger dumpster would save you $50.
\r\n\r\n
Regardless of your situation, you should be making sure you choose the dumpster that best matches your actual debris weight, not just the cheapest upfront option.

It is illegal to dump trash in dumpsters placed on private property unless given explicit permission by the owner of the dumpster to do so.
\r\n\r\n
This includes dumpsters that are placed on construction sites, commercial dumpsters at businesses, roll-off containers at homes, and other trash receptacles placed on private property.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Even though it is illegal to dump trash in someone else’s dumpster without permission—doing so could result in $500+ fines and possible jail time—it is still common for passersby to try and sneak their own garbage or items into dumpsters that aren't theirs.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
The exact laws regarding this issue vary by municipality, but most cities consider this type of illegal dumping a misdemeanor punishable by fines and possible jail time.
\r\n\r\n
When people add trash to your rented roll-off dumpster without permission, it’s not only illegal, it’s also a headache for you.
\r\n\r\n
Here’s why:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
It leaves less space for you to fill it up with your junk, waste, or debris.
\r\n\t
In some cases, a second dumpster may be necessary to complete the job.
\r\n\t
The extra weight could push the load past the weight allowance—that’s extra fees for you!
\r\n\t
The offender(s) may have loaded hazardous materials, like paint, motor oil, etc., and you could be responsible for the extra fees associated with hazardous waste disposal.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
To say the least, it is beyond frustrating to spend several hundred dollars on renting a dumpster only to find that trespassers have unlawfully thrown their own waste, junk, and debris into your container.
\r\n\r\n
Follow our tips to help minimize the chances of having others throw their items into your dumpster:
If possible, the most foolproof way to keep others' items out of your dumpster is to have the dumpster placed inside a fenced-in area or inside a large garage, barn, or outbuilding.
\r\n\r\n
Making it harder for others to access the container greatly reduces the chances of them being able to take advantage of your rental.
\r\n\r\n
Tarp the Dumpster
\r\n\r\n
Because many people who rent a dumpster don't have a fenced-in yard or a large structure to store the dumpster safely, a more convenient and inexpensive solution is to utilize a tarp when the dumpster is not in use.
Most dumpsters have bars running along the sides of the container for easily hooking bungee cords.
\r\n\r\n
Tarping off your dumpster is also useful for keeping the contents dry during rain or snowstorms.
\r\n\r\n
If your dumpster includes fabrics or anything that can absorb water, rain can drastically increase the overall weight of your dumpster load, which can lead to incurring overage fees if you go over your included weight limit.
\r\n\r\n
Even if your dumpster load only contains wood, metal, or other items that don't soak up water easily, snow can accumulate inside the dumpster if left open during a winter storm, which will increase the weight as well.
The likelihood of someone doing something they shouldn't goes up significantly in an area that is dark and hard to get caught.
\r\n\r\n
For this reason, leaving an outdoor light on when your dumpster is in your driveway or placing the dumpster under an exterior light at your business can reduce the chances of someone feeling comfortable tossing something inside.
\r\n\r\n
Opt for a Short-Term Rental
\r\n\r\n
Load the dumpster quickly. If at all possible, finish loading the dumpster within a day and have it picked up soon after.
\r\n\r\n
The longer the dumpster sits on your property, the higher the risk of an illegal dumping situation.
\r\n\r\n
Keep the Dumpster Away from Public Walkways
\r\n\r\n
Similar to keeping your dumpster out of the dark, keeping your dumpster as far from public walkways, like streets, sidewalks, and alleyways, as possible will reduce the chances of someone feeling comfortable walking up to your dumpster and tossing something inside.
\r\n\r\n
Place the dumpster near your home or building rather than on or near the street, especially if it’s in an area with a lot of car or foot traffic.
\r\n\r\n
Put Up a Sign
\r\n\r\n
A \"No Trespassing'\" or \"No Illegal Dumping\" sign may be enough to keep people from tossing their trash in your roll-off.
\r\n\r\n
The overall goal is to make it harder for people to feel comfortable treating your dumpster like it's theirs, and a simple warning sign can help.
If Preventative Measures Don't Solve the Problem...
\r\n\r\n
If you’ve noticed trash and junk in the dumpster that’s not yours, look for any identifying labels or markings.
\r\n\r\n
If you are able to get a name, you can contact local authorities and pursue that route.
\r\n\r\n
Even if you don’t find any identifying markings, it’s not a bad idea to contact authorities to inform them of the issue, especially if you have the dumpster on-site for several more days.
\r\n\r\n
Police would likely increase patrols in the neighborhood, which could be enough to give would-be “trash tossers” a reason to think twice about it.
\r\n\r\n
Remember: Dumpster companies are generally not considered liable for other people dumping trash in your rented dumpster, that’s your responsibility as the renter.
\r\n\r\n
Even so, it’s worth discussing the issue with your chosen dumpster rental company to see if they have any solutions that could work in your situation.
\r\n\r\n
In extreme cases, the rental company may be willing to work out a deal to provide a second dumpster or offer a discount to rent another dumpster if it is necessary to complete the cleanup.

Are you considering junk removal services for your office, warehouse, restaurant, retail store, event venue, hotel, or healthcare facility?
\r\n\r\n
Commercial junk removal services are ideal for all types of situations, and this guide is designed to be a convenient and helpful resource, answering the biggest questions most people have when it comes to commercial junk removal.
Commercial junk removal is a service that helps businesses or organizations get rid of unwanted items, clutter, or debris. It could involve clearing out old furniture, appliances, e-waste, scrap metal, paper/cardboard, sensitive documents, or anything else that's taking up space and isn't needed anymore.
\r\n\r\n
The junk removal company will collect these items, load them into their truck or trailer, and transport them to the nearest facility to dispose of them responsibly, either by recycling, donating, or taking them to the nearest landfill.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
It's like hiring someone to clean out your garage or office, but on a larger scale and often with a focus on eco-friendly disposal methods.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
When It's Used
\r\n\r\n
One of the most convenient things about junk removal is the flexibility that it offers. Whether you have a warehouse full of unwanted items to get rid of or a small office worth, junk removal is a great option for you.
\r\n\r\n
In most cases, a business owner, office manager, warehouse manager, or administrative assistant will reach out to a commercial junk removal company looking for services when their lease is up, they're moving, selling, or experiencing a similar change. These times can be hectic and stressful, and junk removal companies are experts at helping take some of that stress off your plate, and saving you time, too.
\r\n\r\n
How It's Done
\r\n\r\n
Step 1: Get In-Person Quote
\r\n\r\n
The first step of any commercial junk removal job, no matter how big or small, is to get a quote, and these junk removal quotes are almost always provided in person.
\r\n\r\n
In-person junk removal estimates allow the company to see the scope of your project, roughly how much space it will take up within their trucks (or how many trucks they'll need to complete the job), how many people it will take to complete the job, and other important cost factors they need to know to provide you an accurate estimate for the work.
\r\n\r\n
They'll walk the property with you to determine exactly what needs to go and what needs to stay, access points for safely carrying your items out to their truck, and other site considerations, like whether or not there will be stairs to traverse, tall shelving, etc.
\r\n\r\n
Step 2: Hire Company
\r\n\r\n
Once the in-person estimate is given, you can choose to move forward with the services or wait and get additional estimates from other companies. If you choose to move forward with hiring that company for your commercial junk removal, some companies will offer to immediately get started, or you can schedule a time in the future that works best.
\r\n\r\n
Step 3: Junk Removal Begins
\r\n\r\n
On the agreed upon start date and time, the company—typically at least two workers, but often much more, depending on the project's size—will arrive and get to work.
\r\n\r\n
Through simple manpower and some basic equipment, like dollies, moving straps, pallet jacks, and electrical straddle stackers in some cases, the company will haul your unwanted items onto their truck, making sure to separate landfill items from recycling facility items, donations, etc.
\r\n\r\n
How Long It Takes
\r\n\r\n
The time required for professional commercial junk removal services can vary widely depending on the size of the space, the amount and type of junk, accessibility, and other circumstantial requirements. With that said, the average time it takes to complete a commercial junk removal job is 1-2 days, with larger venues, like event venues, hospitals, or warehouses taking an additional 1-3 days to clear.
\r\n\r\n
Keep in mind that factors such as the efficiency of the junk removal team, the availability of equipment (like trucks or specialized tools for heavy items), and any additional services required (like hazardous waste disposal or recycling efforts) will influence the overall time taken for the junk removal process. It's always advisable to consult with a professional junk removal service for a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.
\r\n\r\n
How Much It Costs
\r\n\r\n
The average cost of commercial junk removal services is $500-$2,000.
\r\n\r\n
However, the cost of commercial junk removal services can vary widely depending on several factors, including the size of the space, the amount and type of junk that needs to be removed, the location, and the service provider you hire.
\r\n\r\n
For example, a small office or retail store with very minimal junk costs $200-$500 on average. A medium office or retail store with a moderate amount of junk costs $500-$1,500 on average. A large warehouse or retail space with a large amount of junk costs an average of $1,000-$5,000, or more depending on the amount and type of junk.
At Hometown, we strongly believe in the importance of getting multiple bids, and for good reason. Not only is it essential to get quotes from multiple junk removal companies to compare prices, but to also compare companies' level of service, communication, and availability.
\r\n\r\n
Because companies offer free estimates, it's no cost to you to get multiple quotes, especially when utilizing Hometown's quote request feature at the top of this page. We make it easy to request up to three quotes from local companies offering commercial junk removal services, saving you time and making it easier than ever to compare quotes and hire the best company for the job.
\r\n\r\n
Each quote should include detailed information about the price, including labor, disposal fees, if there are any additional charges for specific items or materials, as well as information about accepted forms of payment, payment terms, project start and finish date, etc.
\r\n\r\n
Once you have multiple quotes and all the pertinent information, you'll have a clear picture of what each company offers and which one you'd like to hire for your cleanup project.
If you're unsure who to hire, there are a handful of things a contractor should have that make them a good hiring decision...
\r\n\r\n
Licensed & Insured
\r\n\r\n
First and foremost, the company you hire should be licensed and insured to perform commercial junk removal services. This should be considered a non-negotiable.
\r\n\r\n
If any unforeseen issues or injuries come up, you'll want the peace of mind knowing that you, your property, and the workers on your property are protected. If you hire a company that is not insured, and someone gets injured in the process, you and your business would be held liable.
\r\n\r\n
Good Reputation
\r\n\r\n
Second, the commercial junk removal company you hire should have positive reviews and a good reputation in the area. Look into what customers have to say online about the companies you're considering hiring. With Hometown, our published reviews are verified, so you can trust that they're real.
\r\n\r\n
If a company has multiple negative reviews, read them and take them into serious consideration when hiring. Some reviews online can be fake—good or bad—so be wary of any reviews that seem extreme. They could be real, or they could be posted by the company or a competitor.
\r\n\r\n
Competitive Pricing
\r\n\r\n
Most junk removal quotes are provided in-person, especially for large or complex projects like many commercial junk removal projects can be. Because of this, it may be tempting to go with the first company you speak to if their services and pricing sound reasonable to you, but we recommend getting at least two or three quotes so you can truly know what a \"competitive price\" looks like for your specific project.
\r\n\r\n
You should never feel pressured or obligated to hire a company after they provide an in-person quote, but if you truly feel good about a company's services, reputation, and pricing, then hiring them and having them start as quickly as possible is a great way to save time, which also saves you money. This is especially true for business owners in the middle of a remodel, move, or closing, when time is of the essence.
\r\n\r\n
Eco-Friendly Disposal Methods
\r\n\r\n
Junk removal services are designed to be a more eco-friendly waste removal solution. The company doesn't haul all your unwanted items straight to the landfill, like is done with a dumpster rental; they first separate your items with the intention of keeping as much out of the landfills as possible. Junk removal companies donate whenever possible, recycle whatever they can, and only haul to the landfill as a last resort.
\r\n\r\n
If your unwanted items consist of any usable furniture, electronics, appliances, desks, chairs, materials, etc., hiring a commercial junk removal company can be very fulfilling, because those items will be donated or recycled, minimizing your company's carbon footprint and helping your local community. In addition, junk removal companies provide receipts for any donations on your behalf. According to the Internal Revenue Service, a taxpayer can deduct the fair market value of used furniture, electronics, books, and so forth.
\r\n\r\n
With professional junk removal services, you eliminate the stress of having to do all of the manual work yourself and the guilt of throwing out items that can be donated or recycled instead.
\r\n\r\n
Availability
\r\n\r\n
The final sign of a commercial junk removal company you should hire is that the company has availability when you need it. No matter how great a company is, if you’re on a strict timeline that they can't accommodate, that's not the best company to hire.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Keep in mind that spring and summer are considered the busy seasons in the midwest for these types of services and, fall and winter in the south, during which times, companies can be booked days to weeks in advance. If you are anticipating needing a junk removal company for an upcoming commercial cleanout, plan early to avoid delays and get scheduled with the best company for the job. \r\n \r\nDon't forget that, before signing any contract or moving forward with any junk removal services, you should be sure you understand everything it’s saying. If you're even the slightest bit unsure about something, speak up and ask for clarification. If a junk removal company is unwilling to explain their estimate, potential overage charges, or answer your questions, that is a red flag and a sign that you should find someone else to do business with.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Alternative Options
\r\n\r\n
While commercial junk removal services are a convenient, efficient, and easy-to-use option, they're not the only option available when it comes time to clean out an office, store, warehouse, or other commercial building.
\r\n\r\n
Dumpster Rental
\r\n\r\n
Renting a dumpster is another convenient option, but is more labor-intensive and less efficient than junk removal. Dumpster rental is easy to schedule. Simply request quotes and book services with local service providers via Hometown. Once service is scheduled, the dumpster rental company will drop off the dumpster at the agreed upon time, and then it's up to you to load the dumpster. Most dumpster rental periods are anywhere from 3-7 days long, but most companies are willing to extend this period if necessary, often for a fee. With a dumpster, you can fill it as your cleanout is completed over a series of days or weeks, or you can fill it in a single day.
\r\n\r\n
The main downside to dumpster rental is that it isn't a very eco-friendly option—the dumpster is hauled to the landfill and nothing gets sorted or diverted. If you decide to rent a dumpster for your company cleanout, we recommend recycling, donating, or selling as much as possible first.
Handling a business cleanout yourself instead of hiring professional junk removal services can be a feasible option for small projects. This typically involves sorting out what needs to be removed, i.e. donations, recyclables, trash, and then transporting it to the appropriate locations yourself. As you can see, handling a large or complex commercial cleanout yourself would be quite challenging due to the extensive time, labor, and logistical demands involved.
\r\n\r\n
DIY disposal requires significant physical effort to sort, lift, and transport items, potentially disrupting business operations and posing safety risks to untrained individuals. Plus, navigating disposal regulations for items like electronics or hazardous materials can be complex and may lead to costly mistakes. While DIY cleanouts might appear cost-effective initially, the cumulative expenses of time, labor, and potential disposal fees can outweigh the convenience and efficiency offered by professional commercial junk removal services, which are equipped with the necessary resources, expertise, and insurance to handle cleanouts effectively while minimizing business disruption and liability risks.
Are you considering junk removal services for your office, warehouse, restaurant, retail store, or other commercial cleanout? Commercial junk removal services are ideal for all types of situations.
When renting a dumpster, do not underestimate the amount of debris your project will generate. If you’re ever on the fence about which container size to choose, go with the larger option. A 20 yard dumpster is an excellent choice for all kinds of projects, like pre-move out cleanups, cleaning out the garage or basement, small demolition projects, and more.
\r\n\r\n
How much does it cost to rent a 20 yard dumpster?
\r\n\r\n
The average cost to rent a 20 yard dumpster in the U.S. is $350-$550, depending on the type and amount of debris, location, who you rent from, and several other factors. Make sure you are aware of the various fees you can incur when renting a dumpster.
\r\n\r\n
Dumpster rental companies can add on fees for a number of reasons, including:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Exceeding the container’s designated weight allowance
\r\n\t
Putting hazardous materials in the dumpster
