Every quote includes delivery, pickup, the rental period, and a tonnage allowance — one number, no surprise line items. The right size depends on what you're tossing, so here's the honest guide we use when customers call.
| Size | Dimensions (approx.) | Holds about | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | 3 pickup loads | Garage/basement cleanout, small bath remodel, deck tear-out |
| 15 yard | 16' L × 8' W × 4.5' H | 4–5 pickup loads | Estate cleanouts, flooring/kitchen tear-outs, roofs to ~25 squares |
| 20 yard | 22' L × 8' W × 4.5' H | 6–7 pickup loads | Whole-house cleanouts, full remodels, new construction, large roofs |
| 30 yard | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | 9–10 pickup loads | Major construction, whole-house renovation, commercial jobs — 3-ton allowance |

The most expensive mistake isn't renting too big — it's renting too small and paying for a second haul. Our rule of thumb from years on job sites: estimate your debris in pickup-truck loads, then add one. Heavy material changes the math: concrete, dirt, and shingles hit weight limits long before the can looks full, so for those we'll often recommend a smaller can loaded level rather than a big one loaded heavy.
Overweight loads: billed per ton over the allowance at the landfill rate. Avoid it by telling us what you're tossing — we'll size the allowance honestly. Prohibited items: tires, liquid paint, chemicals, and appliances with refrigerant can't go to the transfer station in a mixed load; see the FAQ for the full list and what to do with them instead. Blocked pickup: if a car is parked over the can on pickup day, a return trip costs a fee — worth a reminder note on the calendar.
Tell us the job — we'll tell you the size and the price.
