How to Choose the Right Dumpster Size
When comparing dumpster rental sizes, consider:
- The amount and type of waste you anticipate
- The dumpster’s dimensions, available space, and weight limit
The most common rental sizes are 10-yard, 20-yard, and 30-yard, though we also offer 15-yard and 40-yard dumpster rentals.
- 10-yard dumpsters are popular for home projects like junk cleanouts. Our residential customers or small businesses most commonly use these.
- 20-yard dumpsters are versatile for various project types, but they are a favorite among residential customers and construction crews for home and landscaping projects. It’s also worth noting that this is the largest dumpster size that accepts heavy debris like concrete or roofing shingles, so it is recommended for teams planning these construction projects.
- 30-yard dumpsters are construction companies’ go-to for larger projects.
Our team can discuss your upcoming projects to make a recommendation and ensure you have the right size dumpster(s). You can also use our Dumpster Rental Sizes & Pricing Guide and Debris Calculator to help determine your best dumpster rental size.

- Discuss your project type and timeline to make sure you select the correct dumpster sizes and quantities
- Provide a free, accurate quote based on your project duration
- Schedule deliveries and pick-ups
What items can’t be disposed of in a rental dumpster?
We strictly prohibit all biohazardous or hazardous waste, including:
- Pesticides
- Motor oil
- Freon
- Tires
- Inks and resins
- Asbestos — be aware that drywall and insulation materials may require proof that they’re asbestos-free
- Etc.
If you have questions about waste items, please discuss your projects with our teams, and we can advise on any potential issues. Including prohibited items can result in additional fees and the need to unload them before removal.
Do you need a permit to rent a dumpster?
Permits are only required for placement on public property — including streets, sidewalks, parking areas, pathways, etc. — or anywhere that impedes public access.
Permits are not required when placing dumpsters on your property (driveway or yard) or at the rear of your residence or commercial building (with property owner approval).
Where can I place a dumpster rental?
Dumpsters should be placed on a hard, level surface with ample room to access both ends. You can place plywood below dumpsters to reinforce or protect the ground below.
Common placement options include:
- Personal property, such as driveways or yards
- Behind residential or commercial buildings
- Public street parking or parking lots
- Sidewalk areas
- Walking paths
- Building sites
- Grassy areas or fields
- Any clear space without overhead power lines
Please note we can’t place dumpsters on slopes or inclines.
How do you prepare for dumpster drop-off?
When you place your rental, our team will note delivery dates and where you’d like us to place dumpsters, and then we will take care of the rest. You do not need to be around or available for deliveries, but we ask you to leave a contact number in case our haulers need to reach you during drop-off.
How big is a dumpster bag?
Dumpster bags typically have a capacity of 2.5 to 5 cubic yards, with most offering approximately 3 cubic yards of space.
What happens if you overload a dumpster?
Exceeding your allotted tonnage amount may result in additional charges. Our hauliers might request that you remove the excess materials for significantly overloaded containers that cannot be safely transported. (If an extra service is needed, it would require the rental of another container.)
Please note that heavy materials — like roofing shingles or concrete — in a 20-yard dumpster may only be filled to the halfway mark so the dumpster is not too heavy to haul away.
Does ASAP Marketplace recycle waste from rental dumpsters?
Yes, our haulers make efforts to recycle materials whenever possible. If your project will include a significant amount of recyclable materials, we can provide a dedicated container for these items, ensuring your recyclables are transported directly to recycling facilities.
