Rent a 12 yard dumpster for residential projects or for heavy materials (if the dumpster company allows), such as concrete, dirt, roofing debris, or asphalt.
\r\n\r\n
We’ll cover the various aspects of 12 yard dumpsters, including dimensions, typical costs, types, and alternatives.
The footprint of a 12 yard dumpster is quite similar to that of a 10 yard dumpster but with the added benefit of about 20% more loading capacity.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
12 yard dumpsters are a great option for residential use or when space is limited.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
There is no standard 12 yard dumpster size, but most containers have similar dimensions (give or take a foot on any dimension) to 12 ft L x 8 ft W x 4 ft H.
The average nationwide cost to rent a 12 yard dumpster is $350. Rental costs vary by location. The vast majority of locations will be plus or minus $100 from the average cost.
12 yard dumpsters offer a nice combination of loading capacity, compact footprint, and affordable rental rates. Learn all about the 12 yard dumpster's best uses, average pricing, and common dimensions.

Cleaning out your garage can feel like an overwhelming project.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Cobwebs, unorganized tools and lawn equipment, half-empty paint cans, dusty holiday decorations, bags of yard waste, and old athletic equipment all seem to find their way into the garage, leading to an unsightly, cluttered mess.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Even the dirtiest garage cleanouts can be completed with minimal stress and relative ease, but only if a good plan is established first.
\r\n\r\n
In this guide, we'll outline the 5 steps your garage cleanout plan should include and how to find the help to get it done.
In most instances, people don't want to get rid of every last item in the garage.
\r\n\r\n
Rather, they want to get rid of some and organize the rest.
\r\n\r\n
So, unless you want to get rid of everything in your garage, you'll want to start your garage cleanout by determining what will go and what will stay.
\r\n\r\n
Now, \"what will go\" could end up being sold in a garage sale, donated to a local charity organization, recycled at your local facility, or trashed, so create three separate piles for these categories.
\r\n\r\n
We recommend keeping your pile of things to toss in a place that is easy to access for when it comes time to dispose of it.
\r\n\r\n
If you do want to get rid of everything in your garage, the separating aspect of the cleanup can be skipped, and you can go straight step two.
For cleanups involving more than a small pile of trash, junk, or debris, we usually recommend renting a roll-off dumpster.
\r\n\r\n
A 10 yard dumpster is typically big enough to handle a garage cleanout, but some rental providers also offer smaller dumpster sizes if your project is very minimal.
A faster alternative to renting a dumpster is hiring a junk removal company to handle the garage cleanout for you, or at least the removal and proper disposal of the items you no longer want.
\r\n\r\n
This is a great option for those who want the job done as quickly as possible and don’t mind spending a little more to make that happen.
\r\n\r\n
Expect to pay at least a couple hundred dollars (for a small garage cleanup) or more to have a junk removal company clean out the entire garage for you.
Hometown makes it simple for homeowners to request quotes from dumpster rental or junk removal companies, allowing you to easily determine which service is best for your particular project.
\r\n\r\n
Start by clicking \"Find Pros\" at the top of this page, and select the service type you're interested in getting quotes for first: dumpster rental or junk removal.
\r\n\r\n
From there, you can browse all the local companies serving your area.
\r\n\r\n
Then, read more about their services, see what their customers have to say about them, and request free quotes from as many companies as you'd like.
When you reach out to companies for a project quote, be as detailed as you can when describing what you need removed and how much.
\r\n\r\n
It's easy to get a dumpster rental quote over the phone, especially when you're clear about the type and amount of debris you have to dispose of.
\r\n\r\n
Junk removal companies, on the other hand, will typically send one to two employees to your home or business to provide an in-person quote for the job, unless you only have an item or two.
\r\n\r\n
These quotes are free and you are not obligated to hire them if you don't like the price they quote you.
\r\n\r\n
If you agree to the price of their garage cleanout services, they get started right away.
Once your unwanted junk is removed, it's time to finish organizing the items you're keeping in your garage.
\r\n\r\n
Purchase additional shelves to maximize storage space, label waterproof storage bins to keep water and dust out, and limit the amount of items you bring into the garage moving forward to maintain your clean, organized space.
\r\n\r\n
Everything in your garage should have a designated storage space.
\r\n\r\n
If you must bring new items into your garage, it's a good rule of thumb to remove one item in order to minimize clutter from piling up again.
Even the dirtiest garage cleanouts can be completed with minimal stress and relative ease, but only if a good plan is established first. Learn the 5 steps your garage cleanout plan should include and how to find the help to get it done.

Part of tackling an interior demolition or renovation project is planning for the debris removal.
\r\n\r\n
There are several options to dispose of interior demolition debris, and each option has its pros and cons.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
The disposal method that is right for you depends on your budget and access to each respective service.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Look closely at each disposal method to determine the best option for your project.
Dumpsters are particularly convenient and cost-effective for interior demolition projects.
\r\n\r\n
A 10 yard dumpster can accommodate an average size demolition project, including:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Bathroom renovations
\r\n\t
Kitchen renovations
\r\n\t
Flooring removals
\r\n\t
Whole house baseboard/trim removals
\r\n\t
Removal of walls
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Larger interior demolition projects may require the use of a 20, 30, or 40 yard dumpster—or a combination of dumpsters—to complete the cleanup.
\r\n\r\n
Some dumpster rental companies offer trailer dumpsters, which are driveway-safe alternatives to traditional roll-off containers. This may be a good option for residential use.
\r\n\r\n
If you're in need of a dumpster for your interior demolition debris, we recommend getting 2-3 different quotes to compare pricing, availability, and quality of customer service.
\r\n\r\n
Hometown makes it easy to find locally-owned dumpster providers in your area with our single quote request form.
These bag dumpsters come in various sizes but most are in the 3 cubic yard or less range.
\r\n\r\n
For a full bathroom, kitchen, or other big interior demolition project, a bag dumpster is likely not going to accommodate the amount of debris generated.
\r\n\r\n
For small demolition projects, such as flooring removal in one large room or two small rooms, a bag-style dumpster may work.
\r\n\r\n
The cost of Bagster and similar bag dumpsters can be deceiving.
\r\n\r\n
While the purchase of the bag dumpster seems affordable in the $50 range, that doesn't include pick-up!
\r\n\r\n
These additional charges vary by location but will generally add another $100 to $200 to your bottom line.
\r\n\r\n
Instead of investing $150+ for a 3 cubic yard bag dumpster, spend another $100 or so to rent a 10 yard dumpster—you get more loading capacity and less restrictions compared to bag dumpsters.
\r\n\r\n
Renting a roll-off container from the start will save you some headaches.
\r\n\r\n
Haul the Debris to the Landfill
\r\n\r\n
This could be a viable option if you have access to a truck and/or trailer that can accommodate the volume of debris, and a construction & demolition (C&D) landfill is relatively close to your location.
\r\n\r\n
Hauling the debris to the landfill yourself may seem like the most cost-efficient option initially, but that’s not always the case.
\r\n\r\n
It’s important to factor in time spent driving, cost of gas, wear and tear on the vehicle and/or trailer, landfill hours of operation, dump fees, restricted items, and number of trips it will take to dispose of all the debris.
One of the most convenient and quick ways to dispose of interior demolition debris is to hire a junk removal company to come clean it up for you.
\r\n\r\n
This can save quite a bit of cleanup time depending on the project.
\r\n\r\n
Junk removal fees generally start at around $100 for small junk pickups and go up from there.
\r\n\r\n
For an interior bathroom demolition, for example, the cost to hire a junk removal company to clean up the debris will likely be $300 - $500+; it really just depends on your location and how much debris you have, as well as the type of debris.
\r\n\r\n
The advantage of this option is the time-saving aspect.
\r\n\r\n
Instead of spending hours cleaning up post-demo, you can work on other projects and leave the “mess” to the junk removal company.
There are several options when it comes to removing debris generated during an interior demolition project. Learn all about the top four disposal options today.
1 cubic yard of household trash/junk weighs an average of about 800 pounds.
\r\n\t
1 cubic yard of loose concrete or asphalt weighs about 2,400 pounds.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
As you can see, the same volume of C&D debris weighs three times more than household trash. This is important to keep in mind when renting a dumpster. Going over the rental company’s weight allowance can lead to overage charges ranging from $50 to $100 per ton.
\r\n\r\n
What are the dimensions of a 10 yard dumpster?
\r\n\r\n
It varies by company. A typical 10 yard roll-off measures approximately 12 ft L x 8 ft W x 4 ft H. However, some rental companies offer “lowboys” that measure approximately 20 feet long and have much lower sides at 2 to 3 feet, making it ideal for side loading heavy debris (e.g. concrete). Be sure to figure in the space needed to swing open the back door on the dumpster (if equipped) when clearing a spot on your property for the dumpster to be placed. These doors may need as much as 8 ft of clearance to open all the way – discuss these clearance issues with your dumpster rental provider.
