Dumpster sizes are named based on how many cubic yards of debris they hold. - Covered Weight Limit - Our rates typically cover the disposal cost for 2-3 tons (4000-6000 pounds) of debris. One kitchen sink can weigh between 50-100 pounds, so be aware that the weight of your debris can add up fast.

What to Expect for Delivery and Pickup of a 10 Yard Dumpster
When ordering your 10 yard dumpster, keep in mind that you will need to provide placement instructions for the driver. No one needs to be onsite when the dumpster is dropped off or picked up, but keep in mind the following guidelines:
- Select a Location: Clear a spot where you'd like your dumpster placed. Keep in mind that if you're redoing your driveway or need to place the dumpster in the street for any other reason, you will need to get a permit from the city.
- Remove Obstacles: The driver will need 23 feet of vertical clearance to raise and place your 10 yard dumpster. Choose a spot free of low-hanging wires or branches.
On delivery and pickup day, also ensure nothing is blocking the delivery truck's access to that spot. Common obstacles include:
- Parked cars
- Locked gates
- Low-hanging tree branches
- Wires and cables
- Garbage cans blocking the driveway apron
Once your order is placed, you will receive an email from our team with additional details, including a list of prohibited items and a copy of your invoice.
