Frequently Asked Questions About Dumpster Sizes

What if I select a size that is too small?
If your container fills up before your project is complete, simply contact us for a swap-out service. We will pick up the full container and deliver a fresh one directly to your job site, ensuring your project stays on track.How high can I fill the dumpster?
Debris must be level with the top rim of the dumpster. Overfilling above the top edge prevents our tarping system from securing the load safely for highway transport, which is crucial for safety.Will the dumpster fit on my driveway?
