Weight, Type & Size FAQ’s!
November 30th, 2008 by The bookadumpster.com USA Dumpster Rental TeamHow much weight can I put in the dumpster?
This depends on the size of the dumpster. During the order process you are told the weight limit for each different dumpster size.
What if I have two different waste types? Can I mix them?
The only dumpster in which you may mix more than one waste type is the Household Debris dumpster. If you are placing heavy waste in this dumpster there is a weight limit of 250 pounds per 1 cubic yard so you may be charged an extra weight fee if you fill over and above this limit. It is suggested that you order a small dumpster for each waste type you are disposing of rather than just one large one.
How big will my dumpster be?
The dumpster’s size is measured in cubic yards. To get an idea of the dumpster size, view the scale drawing on our homepage at step 4 of the order process. 1 cubic yard is the equivalent of 1 yard wide by 1 yard long by 1 yard high. So a 6 yard dumpster has the capacity to hold 6 ‘cubic yards’.
