Roll off dumpster rentals are the perfect fit whether you’re embarking on a major home renovation project or simply tackling a hefty spring cleaning task, having the right roll off dumpster size can make all the difference. At LePage & Sons Waste Management, we provide a variety of roll off dumpster options to suit any project, large or small. Understanding the right size for your needs not only ensures efficiency but also helps in managing waste disposal costs effectively.


Why Roll Off Dumpster Rentals are Essential for Large Projects

Roll off dumpsters are an ideal solution for managing large volumes of waste. They are especially useful for:


  • Construction Projects: Easily dispose of construction debris like wood, metal, and concrete.
  • Large Cleanouts: Perfect for estate cleanouts or clearing out large amounts of junk from your home or garage.
  • Landscaping Projects: Dispose of soil, branches, and other organic materials accumulated during a landscaping overhaul.
  • Remodeling: Convenient for handling debris from kitchen, bathroom, or full home remodels.

Choosing the Right Dumpster Rentals Size

Selecting the correct dumpster size is crucial to ensure that you have enough space to accommodate all the waste your project will generate without overpaying for unused capacity. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose:


10-Yard Dumpsters

These are ideal for smaller cleanouts and minor renovation projects. They typically hold up to 10 cubic yards of waste material, which is roughly equivalent to three pickup truck loads of debris.


20-Yard Dumpsters

This size is great for medium-sized renovation projects and large home cleanout tasks. It can hold approximately 20 cubic yards of waste, or six pickup truck loads.


30-Yard Dumpsters

Perfect for larger renovations or construction projects, these dumpsters can handle about 30 cubic yards of waste material, equivalent to about nine pickup truck loads.



40-Yard Dumpsters

If you’re undertaking a major construction project or a large-scale demolition, a 40-yard dumpster may be the best choice. It can accommodate up to 40 cubic yards of waste, which is around twelve pickup truck loads.

Tips for Efficient Use of Roll Off Dumpster Rentals

  • Plan Ahead: Determine the scope of your project and the types of materials you’ll be disposing of to choose the right size dumpster.
  • Maximize Space: Break down large items if possible before tossing them in the dumpster to use space efficiently.
  • Prohibited Items: Be aware of what materials cannot be disposed of in a roll off dumpster, such as hazardous materials or certain electronics.
  • Safety First: Ensure that the dumpster is placed on a flat, stable surface and that the area around it is clear of obstructions.
