Space vs. Weight: Why Size Is Not the Whole Answer

All dumpster sizes Longview TX renters book have two limits: how much fits, and how much it can weigh. Light debris, such as furniture, boxes, and carpet, fills the space first. Pick by volume. Heavy debris, such as concrete, brick, dirt, and shingles, reaches the weight limit first. Pick by tons.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment uses about 1,800 pounds per cubic yard for clean rubble such as concrete and brick. Asphalt shingles weigh about 180 to 240 pounds per roofing square.

  • A 20 yard holds about 6 to 8 loads.

What About a 4 Yard Dumpster or a Dumpster Bag?

You may also see a 4 yard dumpster. It is a lidded business bin, about 6 feet long, 4.5 feet wide, and 4 feet tall, and a truck empties it on a route. It does not roll off a truck for a one time project.

A dumpster bag costs about $30 to $40 at stores such as Home Depot and Lowe’s, plus a pickup fee. The Bagster bag holds 3 cubic yards and has a 3,300 pound limit, and only 1 cubic yard can be heavy debris. A bag wins only on small jobs. For a remodel or a roof, a 10 yard holds more for less. For a look at how a roll off works, read our roll off dumpster page.

How Much Space Does Each Dumpster Need?

The truck needs about 60 feet of straight room to slide a box off, and about 23 to 25 feet of clear height for the tilt. The box itself needs a spot as long and wide as its size.

  • 10 yard: about 12 by 8 feet
  • 15 yard: about 14 by 8 feet
  • 20 and 25 yard: about 16 by 8 feet
  • 30 and 40 yard: about 22 by 8 feet

Look for low limbs, power lines, parked cars, fences, and gates. If the box goes on a street or sidewalk, ask the City of Longview first. Engineering Services is at 903 237 1362. On a soft or new driveway, ask for boards under the box, because wet East Texas clay can leave ruts.
