Question 1

What is a roll off dumpster?

Accepted Answer

A roll off dumpster is a type of large waste container that is typically used for temporary waste disposal needs. These dumpsters are commonly used for construction projects, home renovations, and other large-scale projects that generate a significant amount of waste.

Roll off dumpsters are named for their ability to "roll off" of a truck or trailer and onto a customer's property. They are typically available in a range of sizes to accommodate different types of waste disposal needs, from large to small projects. Explore our available dumpster sizes to find the right fit for your project.

Overall, roll off dumpsters are a convenient and cost-effective way to manage waste disposal needs for a variety of applications.

Question 2

What size roll off dumpster do I need for my project?

Accepted Answer

The size of the roll-off dumpster you need for your project will depend on several factors, including the amount of waste you expect to generate and the type of material you will be disposing of.

Here’s a quick guide to help you choose:

10-yard dumpster – Ideal for small cleanouts and minor remodeling projects.
12-yard dumpster – Great for slightly larger home renovations and roofing debris.
15-yard dumpster – A good fit for medium-sized cleanouts and light demolition.
20-yard dumpster – One of the most popular sizes for larger home projects and renovations.
30-yard dumpster – Ideal for major home remodels and construction projects.
40-yard dumpster – Best for large-scale construction, demolition, and commercial cleanouts.

It's important to note that sizes are only general guidelines, and the amount of waste you generate can vary depending on the specific project. It's always better to order a slightly larger dumpster than you think you need rather than running out of space and needing to order an additional one.

Additionally, local regulations may limit the size of dumpster you can use, so be sure to contact Waste Connections for any restrictions.
