Choosing the Right Dumpster Size for Your Project

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DUMPSTER SIZE

Undertaking a project that generates waste often leads to the question: "What size dumpster do I need?" It's a crucial decision because choosing the right size ensures efficient waste disposal and prevents overpaying for unused space. At Precision Disposal of South Florida, we understand the importance of getting this right, so let's explore how to select the perfect dumpster size for your project.
​

Understanding Dumpster Sizes

Dumpster sizes are typically measured in cubic yards, representing the volume they can hold. Common sizes range from 10 to 40 cubic yards. Smaller projects like residential cleanouts might require a 10 or 20-yard dumpster, while larger projects like construction sites might necessitate a 30 or 40-yard dumpster.
​

Assessing the Project

Start by evaluating the scope of your project. What type of waste will you be disposing of? Is it primarily household debris, construction materials, or a mix of both? Estimate the volume of waste you'll generate based on the type of project.
​

Avoid Underestimating

It's a common mistake to underestimate the amount of waste generated. If you're unsure, it's often safer to opt for the next size up. An overcrowded dumpster can result in overage charges or a need for additional rentals.
​

Preventing Overpaying

Conversely, renting a dumpster that's too large for your needs means you're paying for unused space. Precision Disposal offers a variety of sizes, ensuring you can find the perfect fit for your waste volume, saving you money in the process.
​

Consider Vertical Space

Remember that dumpsters can be filled vertically as well. Break down items and stack them to maximize space. Precision Disposal's team can provide guidance on efficient loading techniques.
