How to Choose the Right Dumpster Size for Your Needs
The 20-yard dumpster is ideal for a medium-sized project that generates more waste than a standard driveway cleanout. If your project involves heavy demolition or large furniture sets, the 20-yard provides the extra length needed for bulky items. If you're wondering whether it's enough, our 30-yard option offers 50% more volume at a marginal price difference.
Dumpster Rental Guidelines & Regulations
- Placement: Ensure there is at least 22 feet of overhead clearance for the delivery truck to safely drop the container.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute heavy materials evenly along the bottom of the dumpster to ensure safe transport.
- Prohibited Items: No hazardous materials, chemicals, or flammable liquids are permitted per TCEQ regulations.
