Overage fees vary by company but typically range from $50 per ton to $100+ per ton.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Let's say you contact a dumpster company&nbsp;and they&nbsp;quote you&nbsp;$400 to rent a 20 yard dumpster with an included 2-ton (4,000 lb)&nbsp;weight allowance. The dumpster rental company states there is a $50 per ton charge for going over your 2-ton weight limit. After filling the dumpster and having it hauled away, the dumpster rental company weighs the load at the landfill and finds it is 1,000 lbs&nbsp;over the weight allowance. In this scenario, you will incur a $50 additional charge on your bill, so your total bill is now $450.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Note that&nbsp;the overage doesn’t have to be a full 2,000 lbs&nbsp;(1 ton) over the weight allowance in order to be charged the full amount ($50 in this example). Many dumpster rental companies charge overage fees this way, while others offer prorated overage fees.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Common Weight Allowances by Dumpster Size:</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/10-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"10 Yard Dumpster Guide: Convenient Size, Great Price\">10 yard</a>: 2 tons (4,000 lbs)</li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/20-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"20 Yard Dumpster Guide: Versatility and Affordability\">20 yard</a>: 4 tons (8,000 lbs)</li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/30-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"30 Yard Dumpster Guide: Average Costs, Weight Limits, and More\">30 yard</a>: 4 tons (8,000 lbs)</li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/40-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"40 Yard Dumpster Guide: Average Costs, Best Uses, and More\">40 yard</a>: 6 tons (12,000 lbs)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>As previously mentioned, weight allowances vary by dumpster rental provider.

For example, a 10 yard dumpster filled to the top with household furniture will likely weigh less than a 10 yard dumpster filled one-fifth of the way full of concrete debris. Wet debris weighs significantly more than dry wastes, which is why we&nbsp;advise covering the dumpster with a tarp during rainstorms to avoid saturating the load.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Estimating the weight of your junk or debris can be particularly tricky if multiple types of waste are disposed of in the dumpster.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Using this formula to help&nbsp;keep&nbsp;a running estimate of what enters the dumpster is a useful strategy to keep the load under the weight allowance:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><em>(Weight of 1 yard of a particular waste) x&nbsp;(Number of square yards) = Total weight</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">Make sure to calculate for each type of waste and then add each together to get the total load weight. Knowing what and approximately how much debris is put in the dumpster—along with using the chart above—can help you estimate a load's weight and be sure you stay within your weight limit.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Learn more:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-estimate-shingle-weight-and-save-on-the-cost-of-roof-disposal\" title=\"How to Estimate Shingle Weight and Save on the Cost of Roof Disposal\">How to Estimate Shingle Weight and Save on the Cost of Roof Disposal</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/10-questions-to-ask-dumpster-rental-companies-before-renting\" title=\"10 Questions to Ask Dumpster Rental Companies Before Renting\">10 Questions to Ask Dumpster Rental Companies Before Renting</a></li>\r\n\t<li id=\"how-much\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/6-of-the-best-ways-to-dispose-of-yard-waste\" title=\"6 of the Best Ways to Dispose of Yard Waste\">6 of the Best Ways to Dispose of Yard Waste</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"callToActionContainer\">\r\n<h3>Local pros are just a click away</h3>\r\n\r\n<h4>Request availability and pricing from dumpster<br />\r\nrental companies near you.</h4>\r\n<button class=\"get-a-quote open-ondeff-modal\" id=\"priceAndAvailabilityForm\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Find Dumpsters</button></div>\r\n\r\n<h2>How Much Does Waste in a Dumpster Weigh?</h2>\r\n<img alt=\"dumpster with household junk\" data-align=\"center\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"25c15103-4969-4917-b996-674319f1c577\" src=\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/dumpster-with-household-junk_0.png\" />\r\n<h3><strong>Household Trash &amp; Junk Removal</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Examples:</strong> Clothing, furniture, toys, boxes, non-construction-related clutter</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Average Weight per Cubic Yard:</strong> 100-250 lbs</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Household trash is relatively lightweight.

For example, concrete weighs at least three times more than general household junk, so you can place far less concrete in the dumpster compared to household junk.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Discuss your project with your rental provider to make sure a 20 yard dumpster is the right size for the project.
