What size dumpster do I need for a home cleanout?

For a single room, a garage, or a general household cleanout, a 13-yard is usually plenty. For a whole-house cleanout or a big renovation, step up to a 17 or 22-yard.

What size dumpster do I need for concrete or dirt?

Use the 7-yard. It is our heavy container built for clean loads of concrete, dirt, and brick, and clean concrete or dirt goes to a recycling plant, so there is no landfill weight charge on it.

What if I pick the wrong size?

Just call Tony before you book. Tell him the project and he will point you to the right size in about ten seconds. When in doubt, size up. It costs less than paying for a second haul.
