Learn moreThe one thing worth understanding about sizing
Every container has two limits: the space inside it and a tonnage allowance set by what the truck can legally carry. You reach whichever comes first, and on a great many jobs around here the weight limit arrives long before the container looks full.
That is why the answer to "what size do I need" starts with what the material is rather than how much of it there is. Plaster, tile, masonry and soil are dense. Furniture, framing, packaging and household contents are bulky and light. The same volume of each needs a completely different container.
Rule of thumb. If the debris is heavy, go one size down from what the volume suggests and fill it properly. If it is bulky and light, order by volume and fill to the rim. If it is concrete, stone or soil, it goes in a 10 yard regardless of quantity — and in Rock County concrete has to go to a separate Clean Fill Facility because the landfill will not accept it at all.
The seasonal caveat. From around mid-March into late April, township and county roads get posted with seasonal weight limits as frost leaves the ground. On a rural property in that window a fully loaded 30 yard may be more weight than the road is permitted to carry, so the right answer can be a 20 swapped instead. Tell us the address and the date and we will check.
