Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose a 12 yard over a 10 yard?
Choose a 12 yard when your project is slightly larger — such as a multi-fixture bathroom remodel or deck removal — but you still need a container that fits a standard driveway.
How many truckloads fit in a 12 yard dumpster?
A 12 yard dumpster holds about 4–5 pickup truck loads of debris, giving you roughly 20% more capacity than a 10 yard container.
Is a 12 yard dumpster good for roofing projects?
Yes, for small to medium roofing jobs on single-story homes. Larger roofs may need a 15 or 20 yard dumpster depending on shingle layers and square footage.
