For a simple, straightforward dumpster rental, consider the 10-cubic yard dumpsters. These are great for small residential cleanouts and projects, and they're also a good option if you have a lot of material to throw out but need a smaller container -- these won't be too large and awkward to work with, but they'll still hold plenty of junk. As they can fit in most spaces that are reasonably close to an access road or parking lot, this is the most popular size of dumpster for those who need one.

It's probably safe to say that the most common dumpster size you'll run into is a 15 cubic yard dumpster. This is a great choice for almost all residential projects, and even some light commercial projects. If you have some heavy materials in your project that are not heavy enough to require the 20 or 30-cubic-yard dumpsters, this one will do just fine! The compact size of the 15 cubic yard dumpster makes it an easy choice for projects, especially for those who want to keep their costs as low as possible.

If you are going to be doing construction or remodeling work on your home, then you are going to want the bigger dumpster possible. A 20 cubic yard dumpster for rent is a great choice for this purpose. This dumpster size also works well if you have a lot of yard work to do. A 20 cubic yard dumpster is a great choice for an apartment building or home with an attic or garage for it can hold anywhere from 6000 to 8000 pounds.

30-yard dumpsters are perfect for big construction projects or large amounts of junk. It will hold up to 30 cubic yards of debris, equivalent to a large bedroom or living room. The 30 cubic yard dumpster is about 10 feet high, 8 feet wide, and 33 feet long, and can hold 3 to 5 tons, or 7,000 to 10,000 pounds.

Typically, a dumpster in the 40-yard range is used for the most significant home improvement jobs, as well as substantial cleanouts and building sites. It can accommodate a wide variety of bigger, more irregular things, such as building debris, huge home items, appliances, and furniture.
