We highly recommend thinking about the project’s short or long-term requirements and the amount of debris that will go into the dumpster. Will the garbage amount increase as the project proceeds?  It may be more beneficial to start with a larger dumpster rather than upgrading or adding a second dumpster. It will also save you money, in the long run, to have one 25-yard dumpster rather than adding a second ten or 15-yard dumpster when trash generation increases.

How To Calculate Debris Amount

Understanding how to calculate debris is key when it comes to a dumpster rental. By estimating the amount of debris a project will generate, your building tasks will run much more efficiently.

  • 10-Yard: 12-FT-Long x 4H x 8W / Holds up to 4000 Pounds of Debris
  • 15-Yard: 12-Ft Long x 6H x 8W / Holds up to 6,000 Pounds of Debris

  • 25-Yard: 14-Ft Long x 6.5H x 8W / Holds up to 10,000 Pounds of Debris

FEMA Recommendations For Calculating Debris

Multi-Family Projects: L x W x H x .33 /27= Cubic Yard Calculation Of Debris

Single-Family Projects: L x W x S (Floors in Building) x .20 x VCM (Vegetative Cover Multiplier) = Cubic Yard Calculation of Debris

Tip: For A Simple Estimation, Calculate A Ton of Debris For Every Two Cubic Yards

Benefits of A Dumpster Rental For A Construction or Demolition Job

  1. Workplace Cleanliness

Project trash and debris accumulate fast when building or demolishing. It can cause all kinds of workplace havoc when left unchecked. It also requires post-project cleaning, which no contractor or property owner wants to worry about.

  1. Worksite Safety & Security

Most construction sites aim for a zero accident rate, and debris is the leading cause of safety issues. Dumpster rentals promote worksite safety and security.

  1. Worker Efficiency

Project managers strive for a steady workflow without any structural problems. A dumpster will make it easier to accomplish work and improve worker efficiency.
