Concrete Pavement/Asphalt Driveway

An average roll-off truck cannot lift more than 10 tons. A cubic yard of asphalt or concrete weighs approximately 4,000 pounds. Because of this restriction, you will not be able to fill the dumpster to the sides on anything beyond a 10 yard dumpster.

Concrete Pavement/Asphalt Driveway

When disposing of clean concrete and asphalt you can either order a 20 yard dumpster that you fill up half way or a 10 yard dumpster that you fill up to the side.  Anything larger and you risk overfilling the unit and incurring a dry run charge.

Drywall Disposal Estimation

An average roll-off truck cannot lift more than 10 tons. A cubic yard of dry wall weighs almost 2 tons. Because of this restriction, you will not be able to fill the dumpster to the sides.  In addition:  Wet dry wall is EXTREMELY HEAVY.  If you are disposing of dry wall and you suspect it may rain, we recommend a tarp to keep the contents dry or wait until after it has rained.

Structure Demolition

Structure Demolition or C&D is the most common type of debris.  As a result we frequently recommend either a 20 YD or a 30YD dumpster for these jobs.  Anything less than a 20YD likely will be too small.
