Space or weight: which runs out first?
Light, bulky things like furniture, boxes and household junk fill a dumpster by space. Heavy material like shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete reaches the weight allowance long before the dumpster looks full.
For bulky loads, size up: a 20 yard costs less than a 15 yard plus a second haul. For heavy loads, stay small: extra space won't help when weight is the limit.
Driveway space
The truck needs room to back in and tilt its bed to slide the dumpster off, plus clearance from low wires and branches. If your driveway is short, narrow or steep, mention it when you order and we'll confirm the placement.
