Choosing the right size roll off construction dumpster
When tackling a big clean-up, renovation, or construction project, renting a dumpster is an efficient way to manage waste. At Rollin’ Dice Trucking, we’re here to help you choose the perfect dumpster for your needs. Here’s a quick guide to deciding between our popular 20-yard and 30-yard options.
Consider the Scope of Your Project
The size of your project largely determines the amount of waste you’ll generate:
- 20-Yard Dumpster: This is a great choice for medium-sized projects such as basement, shed, garage, or attic clean-outs and small remodeling jobs. It can hold approximately 10-12 pickup truck loads of debris, making it a practical option for moderate waste needs.
- 30-Yard Dumpster: Designed for larger-scale projects like major home renovations, new construction, or large clean-outs. With a capacity of about 15-18 pickup truck loads, it’s ideal for managing bulky materials.
Evaluate the Type of Waste
Certain types of waste might require a larger container, even if the overall volume seems small. For example:
- For heavy debris like concrete, bricks, or shingles, it’s best to use a smaller dumpster since it can easily exceed weight capacity of the truck in a larger container.
- Bulky items like furniture or large appliances are easier to manage in a 30-yard dumpster.
Account for Space and Budget
- Space: Ensure you have enough room to place the dumpster. If space is tight, a 20-yard option might be more practical.
- Budget: While the 20-yard dumpster is generally more affordable, renting a size too small may result in additional pickups and costs. If you’re on the fence, opting for the 30-yard dumpster could save you money and hassle in the long run.
When in Doubt, Go Bigger
Underestimating your needs can lead to wasted time and added expense. If you’re unsure, our 30-yard dumpster provides more flexibility, ensuring you have adequate room for unexpected waste.
