What size dumpster should you rent for your Quad Cities project-Dumpsters come in all shapes and sizes
There are several factors that need to be considered when choosing the right size roll off dumpster for your project. The most obvious consideration is choosing a dumpster large enough to dispose of your waste material while minimizing the number of loads you’ll be paying for. In many cases, customers can dispose of all their waste with a single dumpster. This necessitates estimating the volume of your waste and ordering a dumpster large enough to contain the material. Dumpster sizes are stated in cubic yards so the choices of dumpsters are 6, 10, 20, 30 cubic yard sizes. We strongly recommend that, unless you are certain your waste will fit in a particular size dumpster, you consider ordering a larger size roll off dumpster. It is far less expensive to pay for the next larger size dumpster than to get a smaller dumpster hauled twice. And if you rent a large dumpster and there’s space left over, you might just want to toss out that ripped couch, cracked swimming pool, bicycle with two flat tires, etc.

The 10 yard dumpster is the dumpster of choice for heavy waste materials such as concrete, dirt, bricks. This dumpster can hold up to 20 squares of roofing shingles.

30 Yard Dumpster Quad City Illinois
The 30 yard dumpster is our largest size at 6 feet in height, 8 feet in width, and 20 feet in length. The 30 yard dumpster is our most economical size dumpster when large quantities of debris need to be discarded. The 30 yarder has a back door which swings open for easy loading of heavy debris.
Waste material weight might limit the size dumpster you can rent- Overloading dumpsters by weight or volume is a safety problem
If your project is expected to generate large quantities of concrete, dirt, shingles, etc, you may need to order a 10 yard dumpster and have it hauled a few times. For example, if you are removing a concrete sidewalk and driveway and anticipate 20 yards of waste material, you’ll need to order a 10 yarder and have it hauled twice. We can not haul large dumpsters overloaded, by weight or volume, with dense materials as we would be in violation of state and local highway weight laws.
On site dumpster placement needs to be considered- Where do you want it?
Dumpsters are large metal objects that are delivered by even larger trucks that need plenty of space to maneuver. Roll off dumpsters should be placed on a hard, level surface which is truck accessible and free from overhead obstructions such as wires and tree branches. Parking lots, gravel areas, sturdy driveways, and even city streets(where ordinances allow) are all possible dumpster storage areas. An experienced dumpster delivery driver can often times help determine a good spot for a dumpster if the customer is in doubt.
When to order your dumpster in the Quad Cities
It’s a good idea to order the dumpster a few days before you need it to ensure it’s scheduled for delivery. During peak times of the year (April through November) you might want to reserve your dumpster a week in advance to ensure the right size dumpster is available when you need it. And if all else fails, we MIGHT be able to deliver a dumpster on an emergency basis if scheduling permits.

- Use common sense when loading your dumpster.
- Always bend at the knees and not the back when lifting.
- Wear gloves when loading debris into a dumpster.
