Dumpster Size Guide: What’s the Right One for Your Project?

When planning a construction, cleanup, or landscaping project, choosing the right dumpster size can save you time, money, and headaches. At Calsan Dumpsters Pro, we offer a variety of dumpster sizes to fit every type of job – from small residential projects to large commercial demolitions. So, which size do you really need? Let’s break it down 👇

For Heavy Materials: 8 & 10 Yard Dumpsters

If you're working with heavy debris like:

✅ Concrete

✅ Dirt

✅ Rocks

✅ Mixed debris

✅ Bricks

Then our 8 and 10 cubic yard dumpsters are your best choice. These are perfect for materials that weigh a lot.

📌 Tip: Don’t overload these with lightweight trash — they’re designed for weight, not volume.

🪚 For General Debris: 10, 20, 30 & 40 Yard Dumpsters

When you're dealing with bulkier but lighter materials, go bigger! These dumpsters are ideal for:

✅ Wood & framing

✅ Green waste

✅ Household junk

✅ General construction debris

✅ Roofing materials

Choose your size based on the scale of your project:

10-yard – Small remodels or garage cleanouts

20-yard – Medium-sized home projects or roofing jobs

30-yard – Large renovations or commercial cleanouts

40-yard – Major demolition, multi-home construction, or large bulky items

- The more you load, the more you save on trips!
