Junk removal can be an arduous task, especially if you're not sure how much trash or waste you have. Many companies, such as Dumpster Rental of Naperville, will provide a free estimate so that you can accurately predict what size dumpster is needed.
Here are some common dumpster sizes and their capacity:
A 10 yard dumpster can hold 10 cubic yards of material. The dimensions are usually 12 feet long by 8 feet wide by 4 feet high. This dumpster is 96 square feet (the size of a small bedroom) but can hold just under 4 feet of materials. So doing the math, a 10 yard dumpster can hold almost 400 square feet and is commonly used for small trash removal jobs.
A 20 yard dumpster holds 20 cubic yards of garbage or waste. The dimensions are usually 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 4.5 feet high. This dumpster is 176 square feet (the size of a large bedroom) but can hold just under 4.5 feet of materials. So doing the math, a 20 yard dumpster can hold almost 792 square feet and is commonly used for medium sized trash removal jobs. At almost 800 feet to store materials, this is a very common solution for most people.

A 30 yard dumpster holds 30 cubic yards of materials and is very similar in size to a 20 yard dumpster, being 8 feet wide, but 6 feet high, for total storage of 1,056, so about 250 more than the 20 yard dumpster. If you are unsure of what size you need, it is always better to error on the larger scale. You don't want to fit almost all the material and require another unit, which necessitates and additional visit.
A 40 yard dumpster holds 40 cubic yards and is common for larger junk removal scenarios. It's dimensions are 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 8 feet high. With such a great height, you may need to consider how you will deposit material over the edge and into the dumpster. A 40 yard dumpster may be the best choice for large or outdoor cleanups. These dumpsters are ideal for home remodeling projects, where roofing, wooden beams or drywall are involved.
