Not sure which dumpster size you need? Not a problem, here are a few things to keep in mind when renting a roll-off dumpster. Choosing the right size upfront saves you money, avoids overage fees, and keeps your project on track.
Here's a simple breakdown:
- 10-Yard Dumpster: Perfect for smaller jobs like a bathroom remodel, small deck removal, or a single-room cleanout. It holds roughly 3 pickup truck loads of debris. This is great when space is tight and the job is manageable.
- 20-Yard Dumpster: Our most popular size for residential projects. Ideal for kitchen gut jobs, flooring replacements, or a whole-home declutter. If you're tackling a mid-size renovation, this is likely your sweet spot.
- 30-Yard Dumpster: Best for larger projects like full home cleanouts, major additions, or multi-room renovations. If you're clearing out years of accumulated items from an entire property, this gives you the room you need without multiple hauls.
- Still unsure? Think about the scope of your project and how many rooms or areas are involved. When in doubt, go one size up because it's almost always cheaper than ordering a second dumpster mid-project.
- At VaVia, we're happy to help you choose the right size before you book. Give us a call and we'll walk you through it.
