FAQs

Have any questions related to your specific needs?

To determine which dumpster size you need for your project, you should consider the amount and type of trash or garbage you expect to generate. Here are some steps you can follow to help you determine the right dumpster size for your project:

  • ‍Estimate your waste: Consider how much trash or debris you expect to generate. This gives you a baseline to select the right size.
  • Understand the material: Different waste materials may need different dumpsters. For example, heavy items like concrete may require a dumpster with a higher weight capacity.
  • Select a size: We offer sizes from 10 to 40 cubic yards, suitable for various types of projects. If you need more guidelines, feel free to consult our dumpster size guide mentioned earlier.
  • Check local regulations: Always ensure you're in line with local laws regarding dumpster types or sizes.

By considering the amount and type of trash or garbage you will generate, and choosing an appropriate dumpster size, you can ensure that you have enough space to dispose of your waste safely and efficiently.

Yes, there are! Each dumpster size has its own weight limit. Adhering to these can save you from extra costs and help you pick a container that’s just right for your needs. Consult Armstrong Sanitation guidelines for specific weight limits.

The items that can be put in a residential or commercial dumpster may vary depending on the specific dumpster rental company and local regulations. However, in general, the following items are typically allowed in dumpsters:

‍

  • Household or commercial waste, such as paper, cardboard, plastics, and textiles
  • Construction and demolition debris, including concrete, brick, wood, and roofing materials
  • Yard waste, such as grass, leaves, and branches
  • Appliances, such as refrigerators, stoves, and washing machines (in some cases, an additional fee may be required)
  • Furniture, such as couches, chairs, and mattresses

‍

It is important to note that certain items may not be allowed in residential or commercial dumpsters. This can include hazardous materials such as chemicals, batteries, and medical waste.

Additionally, local regulations may prohibit certain items from being disposed of in roll off bins, so it is important to check with Waste Connections or local authorities before putting any questionable items in the dumpster.
