Renting the wrong size costs you twice, too small and you pay for a second haul, too big and you pay for empty space. This simple guide walks you through the six sizes we offer in Charleston and the projects each one fits best.
As a rule of thumb: small cleanouts and single-room jobs fit a 10 or 15-yard bin, most renovations and roofing jobs need a 20-yard, and construction or whole-home projects call for a 30 or 40-yard. Still unsure? Tell us what you are throwing away and we will match the size to your project, free.
Still not sure? Picture your debris as pickup-truck loads. A 10-yard dumpster holds about four loads, a 20-yard about eight, and a 40-yard about sixteen. If your project lands between two sizes, choose the larger one, it is almost always cheaper than paying for a second haul.
