Choosing the Right Dumpster Size | A Guide for Portland, ME Projects

Estimating dumpster size can be tricky. Here’s a guide from GI Bins Dumpster Rental to help Portland, ME residents and contractors make an informed choice:

• Understanding Cubic Yards: One cubic yard is 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet. Visualize this space when estimating your debris.
• 10-Yard Dumpster (Approx. 3-4 pickup truck loads):Best For: Small basement/garage cleanouts, single small room renovation (e.g., half-bath), dirt/concrete/brick disposal (heavy materials often require smaller dumpsters due to truck weight limits), minor landscaping.
• 15-Yard Dumpster (Approx. 4-5 pickup truck loads):Best For: Small kitchen or full bathroom remodels, cleaning out a larger garage or attic, single-layer roofing shingle removal (up to ~1500 sq ft), larger yard cleanups in Portland, ME.
• 20-Yard Dumpster (Approx. 6 pickup truck loads):Best For: Medium kitchen or multiple bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering projects, flooring removal for a large house, deck removal (up to ~400 sq ft), medium roofing jobs (up to ~2500 sq ft of shingles). This is a very popular size for many Portland, ME projects.
• 30-Yard Dumpster (Approx. 9 pickup truck loads):Best For: Major home additions, new home construction, large-scale demolition projects (e.g., garage demolition), complete home window or siding replacement for larger homes in Portland, ME.
• 40-Yard Dumpster (Approx. 12 pickup truck loads):Best For: Very large construction or demolition projects, commercial building cleanouts, major storm debris cleanup for large properties.
• Consider Debris Type:Bulky vs. Dense: Light, bulky items (furniture, general clutter) fill space quickly. Heavy, dense items (concrete, dirt, shingles) add weight quickly. For very heavy materials, even if the volume is small, you may be restricted to a 10 or 20-yard dumpster to stay within road weight limits.Stacking: Break down items and load the dumpster evenly to maximize space.When in doubt, it's often better to choose the slightly larger size if you're between options, as overage fees for exceeding weight limits or needing a second dumpster can be more costly. Our Portland, ME team at GI Bins Dumpster Rental is always ready to discuss your project and provide a recommendation.
