Describe your project and debris — we'll recommend the right dumpster (10, 20, 30, or 40 yard) for the job.
1 inch can be the difference between fitting and getting stuck.

Measurements verified by the ItemFits engineering team · Our methodology
Standard sizes say it works — but your measurements are what matter.
A 10-yard dumpster handles a standard kitchen remodel (cabinets, countertops, flooring, drywall). If you're also replacing appliances or doing structural work, go with a 20-yard.
A 10-yard holds ~3 pickup truck loads (small remodel or cleanout). A 20-yard holds ~6 loads (large remodel, deck removal). A 30-yard holds ~9 loads (new construction debris, whole-house cleanout). The 40-yard is for commercial demolition.
