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.

When planning a home renovation, construction project, or major cleanout, selecting the right roll-off dumpster size is essential. Dumpster sizes are measured in cubic yards, which determine how much debris each container can hold.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Choosing a dumpster that’s too small may result in multiple hauls, while renting one that’s too large can waste money.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
In this guide, we’ll break down the most common dumpster sizes, their dimensions, and typical weight limits so you can confidently pick the perfect roll-off dumpster for your project.

Common Dumpster Sizes and Dimensions
\r\n\r\n
Dumpster sizes are commonly measured in cubic yards. The dumpster sizes listed in the chart below are typical, but because dumpster dimensions are not standardized, they may vary from one hauler to the next.

\r\n
\r\n\r\n
What to Consider When Choosing a Container Size
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
The 3 biggest factors that you should consider when choosing a dumpster size are:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Amount and type of debris
\r\n\t
Spacing at the work site
\r\n\t
Weight and height restrictions
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Amount and Type of Debris
\r\n\r\n
Estimating the volume of your debris is challenging, especially when you need a dumpster for construction debris or household junk.
\r\n\r\n
Choosing a dumpster that's too small can be an expensive mistake. If you attempt to save a few bucks by trying to squeeze your debris into a dumpster that's too small, you'll end up paying substantially. The best-case scenario is you're left with the excess debris and have to figure out how to get rid of it later. The worst-case scenario is you have to pay for two dumpsters to remove all the debris, instantly doubling your intended budget. Avoid all of this by sizing up your dumpster rental if you're even remotely unsure if your debris will fit.
\r\n\r\n
On average, sizing up costs less than $100 and can easily save you money in the long run.
\r\n\r\n
Spacing at the Work Site
\r\n\r\n
If you need the dumpster delivered to a small driveway or alley, be sure to double-check the dimensions of the dumpster with the hauler and compare it to the space you have available.
\r\n\r\n
Most roll-off containers are 8 ft wide, but the length of the dumpster increases as you size up.
\r\n\r\n
When considering the space you need, keep in mind that dumpsters typically have either one 8 ft wide door or two 4 ft wide doors that swing open on the back. These doors make walking in heavy items much easier, so be sure to account for the additional 4-8 feet of space needed to utilize this feature.
\r\n\r\n
Weight and Height Restrictions
\r\n\r\n
A dumpster service cannot legally haul your debris on the road if the container is filled too high, for safety's sake. If your dumpster is filled too high, you'll have to remove the excess yourself or be charged a fee if the dumpster company does it for you. If your items exceed the dumpster's weight allowance, you'll have to pay for the overage fees after it's weighed at the landfill or recycling facility.
Choosing a roll-off dumpster size can be intimidating if you're a first-time renter, but the professionals you rent from are incredibly good at helping you make the best decision for your disposal needs. Renting a dumpster from a local company is almost always a better deal than renting from large, national waste companies.

With roughly 40% of landfill waste being paper, its no wonder why consumers and businesses are being called now more than ever to recycle paper as often as possible.
\r\n\r\n
We are all sitting on a huge opportunity to reduce the size of our landfills at a time when landfill \"real estate\" is limited and dwindling by the day.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Recycling is a great cause but there are rules you must follow in order to not contaminate a batch of recyclables.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Not following these rules can lead to recyclables having to be tossed into a landfill, producing the exact opposite results you were trying for.
\r\n\r\n
We'll go over everything you need to know about paper recycling for homes and businesses so you can ensure your recycling efforts don't go to waste.
As we've already mentioned, one of the more obvious benefits of recycling paper is conserving landfill space, but that only just scratches the surface of the many benefits of paper recycling.
\r\n\r\n
Many of us were taught in school that recycling paper helps to reduce the amount of trees that are cut down, but how many trees are we actually preserving?
\r\n\r\n
To put it in perspective, if all newspapers that were put into production every year were recycled, we could save around 250 MILLION trees each year!
\r\n\r\n
For every ton (2,000 lbs) of paper that is recycled, we save roughly:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
17 trees
\r\n\t
380 gallons of oil
\r\n\t
3 cubic yards of landfill space
\r\n\t
4,000 kilowatts of energy
\r\n\t
7,000 gallons of water
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
If you're more motivated by the economy than you are the environment, don't worry, we've got you covered there too.
\r\n\r\n
A new study by Eco-Cycle shows that if the United States could transition to a 75% recycling rate by the year 2030, we would create an estimate 1-2 million new jobs!
\r\n\r\n
Jobs created by the recycling industry aren't minimum wage jobs, either. The recycling industry offers theirs workers competitive wages and health benefits.
One of the most important things to keep in mind when recycling paper is that it is crucial to keep all paper products clean.
\r\n\r\n
In a mixed recycling bin where you throw aluminum, glass, plastic, paper, and cardboard, you're much more likely to get cross contamination from foods or liquids which can ruin an entire bale of recyclable paper.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
The best paper recycling practice is to keep the paper separate from other types of recyclables so that they can remain clean.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
It's also important to understand the different types of paper products we use and what they can often be lined or mixed with.
\r\n\r\n
Some of the old ways that we or our parents were taught to recycle is no longer applicable and can actually contaminate our more current paper recycling processes today.
\r\n\r\n
China is the world's largest purchaser of recycled paper and they have strict rules, requiring that recycled paper have 1% or less of contamination.
\r\n\r\n
So while it used to not be necessary in the past to remove the plastic windows in business envelopes, it can be the difference between contaminating recycled paper that can be repurchased or not.
\r\n\r\n
The best practices for recycling any type of material is to understand exactly what can and can't go in your bin, specifically in your area.
\r\n\r\n
Some recycling facilities can handle certain products that others cannot.
\r\n\r\n
For example, most recycling centers can't recycle paper cups because they are actually lined with plastic.
\r\n\r\n
There are, however, some recycling centers that have special machines that can separate this plastic from cups.
\r\n\r\n
That's why it's important to get a list of accepted material directly from your waste management company so that you aren't mistakingly contaminating the paper or other items you're trying to recycle.
\r\n\r\n
Here is a list of the most universally accepted paper products that can be recycled:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Newspaper
\r\n\t
Printer paper
\r\n\t
Paper bags
\r\n\t
Cardboard
\r\n\t
Magazines
\r\n\t
Envelopes
\r\n\t
Cereal/pasta boxes
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Mixed material items like orange juice containers and milk cartons can be recycled in some areas, and not in others.
\r\n\r\n
Again, that's why it's important to do local research before tossing just anything into your recycling bin.
\r\n\r\n
Things to Avoid When Recycling Paper
\r\n\r\n
There are many common mistakes well-intentioned people make when recycling paper.
\r\n\r\n
One of the most common is tossing in pizza boxes with grease stains.
\r\n\r\n
While cardboard is a recyclable material, no paper products that are contaminated with food should be recycled.
\r\n\r\n
If the top half of your pizza box does not have any grease on it, feel free to separate that from the bottom half of your pizza box and put it into your recycling as long as you're sure it's clean.
\r\n\r\n
Another common mistake people make is throwing in paper items that are lined or coated with wax or plastic, like paper cups, milk cartons, juice boxes, receipts, parchment paper, printed photographs, etc.
\r\n\r\n
Many recycling centers can't recycle paper with fibers are already heavily refined, like tissue paper.
\r\n\r\n
Paper towels and napkins have fibers that are too short to be recycled (but they can be composted!).
\r\n\r\n
One of the more shocking pieces of information regarding paper recycling that is a common mistake, for businesses especially, is that shredded paper cannot be recycled in the same manner as regular paper.
\r\n\r\n
The fibers in shredded paper have been shortened too much and the small pieces often jam recycling machinery.
\r\n\r\n
Some facilities allow shredded paper that is contained in plastic bags and kept separate from other full pieces of paper, but not all do.
\r\n\r\n
Check with your local facility to learn more.
\r\n\r\n
Where to Recycle Paper
\r\n\r\n
If your curbside trash service also offers recycling, having your recycling picked up at the end of your driveway is certainly the most convenient option.
\r\n\r\n
For those who live in areas where this isn't offered, however, there are plenty of other options available.
\r\n\r\n
Many communities have drop-off recycling programs or community dumpsters at different drop-off locations for recyclables.
\r\n\r\n
Michigan, for example, has a paper and cardboard recycling program called PaperGator where residents can deposit their recyclable paper products into dumpster containers at several designated drop-off locations.
\r\n\r\n
Visit Earth 911 to find recycling centers or programs near you. You can type in the specific type of material you'd like to recycle, as well as your zip code, and you'll be shown recycling solutions in your area.
\r\n\r\n
If you're a business or contractor that has large amounts of paper or cardboard to recycle that won't fit in your curbside collection, consider renting a dumpster for your recycling efforts.
\r\n\r\n
Or, if you have a lot of paper to recycle but not enough to justify renting a dumpster, consider hiring a junk removal company to haul away your paper for you.
\r\n\r\n

When renting a dumpster, it's important to be aware of potential overage fees.
\r\n\r\n
In this guide, we'll discuss what dumpster overage fees are, how much they typically cost, and how to avoid them.
This means that, in this situation, if you fill your 10 yarder with more than 2 tons of material—which would be easily done with heavy debris, like concrete, brick, roofing shingles, or soil—you'll have to pay an overage fee.
\r\n\r\n
Dumpster weight overage charges can only be assessed after your debris is weighed at the landfill, so if you're not paying attention to the weight and materials going into your dumpster, you may be surprised when you have to pay more for your rental than your initial quote.
\r\n\r\n
If your debris weighs more than the amount of weight included in your dumpster rental agreement, you will receive an additional charge for the extra weight.
Overage fees vary by company but typically range from $75-$100+ per ton.
\r\n\r\n
Oftentimes, this overage charge is applied whether you go a full ton over or not, while others will prorate their overage fees.
\r\n\r\n
For example, let's say you rent a company's 20 yard dumpster with a weight allowance of 7,000 lbs (3.5 tons) for $400 and a $100 per ton non-prorated overage fee.
\r\n\r\n
You rent the dumpster, fill it up with your debris and junk, and call the company to pick it up and take it away.
\r\n\r\n
Later, you see that you are being charged $500 because your debris ended up weighing in at 4 tons at the landfill (1/2 a ton over your weight allowance).
This typically starts by having a good understanding of your project and debris removal needs when reaching out to companies, allowing you to choose the right dumpster size with an adequate weight allowance.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
If you abide by your dumpster rental rules and conditions, your final bill should reflect your initial quote.
The more quotes you get—we recommend getting three or more when ever possible—the more likely you are to find the right size dumpster, with the weight allowance you need, at the best price.

When you have a large quantity of trash, junk, or debris to get rid of, there are a few different options available to help handle the load.
\r\n\r\n
A common residential-friendly disposal solution is purchasing a dumpster bag, like Waste Management's Bagster. Bagsters are a convenient way to get rid of up to 3 cubic yards of waste, but many fail to realize that you could rent a 10 yard dumpster with 3x the disposal capacity for a comparable price.
\r\n\r\n
We'll go over everything you need to know about the pros and cons of Bagsters and 10 yard dumpster rentals, including cost comparisons, loading capacity, and more.
Average Cost to Purchase and Get a Bagster Picked Up
\r\n\r\n
Unlike a standard dumpster, you actually purchase a Bagster rather than temporarily renting one. Bag dumpsters are typically disposed of with all the waste it contains and are a single-use product.
\r\n\r\n
Bagsters can be purchased at various home improvement stores like Home Depot, online retailers like Amazon, or directly from waste management companies that offer dumpster bag pickup services. Bagsters cost $20-$30 on average, which can seem like an incredibly attractive option for those who are on a budget. However, this cost can be misleading for those that don't do their research as this cost does not include the cost of pickup and disposal, which makes up the majority of your final bill.
\r\n\r\n
The cost to have your filled Bagster picked up and disposed of will vary based on several different factors, like landfill fees in your area, where you're located, who you hire, and more. With that being said, the cost to have a Bagster picked up and disposed of costs $130-$320 on average.
\r\n\r\n
That makes the total cost of using a Bagster around $150-$350 on average, or $50-$117 per cubic yard.
\r\n\r\n
While Bagsters typically have a capacity of 3 cubic yards, the weight of the bag's containments cannot exceed 3,300 lbs. For extra heavy debris, like concrete, you'll likely only be able to fit a single cubic yard of your waste while honoring the Bagster's weight limit.
\r\n\r\n
It's important to fully understand the terms of your Bagster service agreement, as overfilling your bag or adding prohibited items can result in additional fees. Commonly prohibited items include tires, oil, paint, medical waste, appliances, electronics, food waste, and more.
Temporary dumpster rentals come in many different sizes to accommodate all different types of disposal projects. 10 yard dumpsters are one of the most popular choice sizes for residential use and offer over 3x the capacity as a Bagster.
\r\n\r\n
In addition to different sizes, dumpster rentals also come in different styles, with roll-off containers and trailer dumpsters being the most popular. Roll-off containers have a side swinging door that makes loading heavy items much easier, while trailer dumpsters sit on rubber wheels for easy maneuvering and added driveway protection.
\r\n\r\n
Both options feature an open top so that you can quickly toss your unwanted waste over the walls, but be sure to tarp the top if heavy snow or rainfall is possible. Wet trash and debris weighs significantly more than dry waste, so keeping out precipitation can be the difference between you going over your dumpster's weight limit or not.
\r\n\r\n
The average weight limit for a 10 yard dumpster is 2-3 tons, or 4,000-6,000 pounds. Exceeding your dumpster's weight limit will cost $75-$100 on average per ton over the limit. Similarly to Bagsters, it's important to thoroughly go over the terms of your dumpster rental agreement to avoid overage fees for going over the weight limit or adding prohibited items, like paint, pesticides, car oil, rubber tires, toxic waste, and more.
\r\n\r\n
The national average cost for a 10 yard dumpster rental is $250-$450, or $25-$45 per cubic yard. This cost typically includes a 5-7 day rental period and the cost of delivery, pickup, and disposal.
\r\n\r\n
Your local costs could be more or less than these nationwide averages and will vary based on a number of different factors, like the type and weight of your waste, how long you rent the dumpster for, the cost of landfill or recycling fees in your area, where you're located, who you hire, and more.
\r\n\r\n
When you look closely at the total average cost to use a Bagster to dispose of your waste vs. renting a 10 yard dumpster, it's clear why traditional dumpster rentals are a much better value. Not only do 10 yard dumpsters have over 3x the loading capacity as a bagster, but the costs are very comparable.
\r\n\r\n
If you compare the cost of each service per cubic yard, 10 yard dumpster are actually typically cheaper than Bagsters, with temporary dumpsters costing $25-$45 per cubic yard vs. Bagsters costing $50-$117 per cubic yard.
\r\n\r\n
It's also worth noting that estimating the total weight and yardage of your waste can be hard to do and it's not uncommon to underestimate the amount of junk/trash/debris you have to get rid of. In the unfortunate event that you underestimate how quickly you can fill the 3 cubic yards of a Bagster and have to purchase a second bag, you will likely be paying more than you would have to have just rented the 10 yard dumpster to begin with.
\r\n\r\n
The cost of two Bagsters is not only more expensive than a 10 yard dumpster, but it's significantly less loading room than a regular dumpster as well.
Renting a temporary dumpster from a locally-owned and operated company is the best bang for your buck when it comes to disposal solutions.
\r\n\r\n
National waste disposal companies, like Waste Management, service many states throughout multiple regions. You might assume that because they're a larger operation that they would be able to offer the best pricing, and while that that can sometimes be true about weekly municipal trash pickup services, it's not usually the case when it comes to their dumpster rental services.
\r\n\r\n
Local waste haulers beat out competitors when it comes to both pricing and customer service. It's not uncommon to speak directly with the owner when you contact a local dumpster rental company, offering a more invested, personable service than large corporations are capable of.
Our goal is to make renting a dumpster easily accessible and affordable by publishing locally-owned and operated disposal companies across the U.S. We vet every company we publish to ensure that they're licensed, bonded, and insured to perform their services so that you only get connected with reputable services near you.
