Between two sizes? Go one size up so you don't overfill. Heavy loads like roofing shingles have weight limits, so give us a call first.
At You Junk It… I Dump It, we offer a variety of dumpster sizes to meet your specific needs in Edmonton. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right dumpster size for your project.
Dumpsters are typically measured in cubic yards, and each size is suited for different types of projects. Here are the common sizes we offer:
| Bin | Length | Width | Height | Holds About | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Yard | 12 ft | 6 ft | 4 ft | 3 truckloads | Garage and basement cleanouts, yard waste, small renovations |
| 15 Yard | 12 ft | 6 ft | 5 ft | 4 truckloads | Medium renovations, roofing, large cleanouts |
| 20 Yard | 12 ft | 7 ft | 6 ft | 5 truckloads | Large renovations, estate cleanouts, small construction |
| 25 Yard | 16 ft | 7.5 ft | 6 ft | 6 truckloads | Major renovations, large estate cleanouts, medium construction |
| 30 Yard | 16 ft | 7.5 ft | 8 ft | 8 truckloads | Extensive renovations, construction and demolition, community cleanups |
Consider the scope and scale of your project. Smaller projects like yard cleanups or minor renovations typically require smaller dumpsters, while large construction projects need bigger containers.
Estimate the amount of waste your project will generate. It’s better to choose a slightly larger size to avoid overfilling and incurring additional costs.
Ensure you have enough space at your location to accommodate the dumpster. Measure the area where the dumpster will be placed and check for any restrictions or obstacles.
Different dumpster sizes have varying weight limits. Be mindful of the types of materials you will be disposing of, as heavy materials like roofing shingles may require a larger or special dumpster.
