There are generally two types of dumpsters, commercial permanent set dumpsters and temporary-set roll-off dumpsters.
Commercial dumpsters are the ones that are usually set at businesses and dumped once a week. You've seen these. They usually sit behind the restaurant out of sight behind a little fence. You usually only see them when all the good parking spaces are taken and the only ones left are by the dumpster. These dumpsters are rented by the business or property owner on a contractual basis and paid for monthly. Handy Jon has 2, 3, 4, 6.2 and 10-yard dumpsters for your business.
The 2-yard dumpster holds up to 400 lbs.
The 3-yard dumpster holds up to 600 lbs.
The 4-yard dumpster holds up to 800 lbs.
The 6.2-yard dumpster holds up to 1200 lbs.
10-yard dumpster holds approximately 5 to 6 pick-up truck loads. A 10 yard dumpster could be used for small basement or garage cleanouts; removing a 250 sq. ft deck; trashing 1500 sq. ft. of single layer roof shingles; minor yard debris cleanup, or a small interior house remodeling jobs.
20-yard dumpster holds approximately 10 pick-up truck loads. You’re saving already on the gas bill!
The 20 yard dumpster can handle a large basement, attic, or garage cleanup; flooring and carpet disposal for a mid to large house; 300 to 400 square feet of deck removal; or 2500 to 3000 sq. ft. of single layer roofing shingles removal.
30-yard dumpster holds approximately 15 pick-up truck loads. The 30 yard dumpster is the main workhorse for major home addition; construction of new homes; demolition of a garage, a major kitchen remodel; or entire house window or siding replacement for a small to medium size home.
40-yard dumpster. The average pickup-truck holds approximately 2 yards of material so this container holds approximately 20 pick-up truck loads. 40 yarders are a little more difficult to use because of their height. If you’re equipped for it then they work well for window or siding replacement for a large home; commercial roof tear offs; commercial clean outs; new construction or major additions; and large amount of trash, paper, or cardboard. Typically these big bad containers are best for the Pros who use them all the time and have the right set ups. But, who knows! Call us if you’re not sure |
