Dumpster costs vary based on the city/metro you reside, as well as the other factors previously mentioned. For example, during the busy dumpster rental months (e.g., spring), containers are in limited supply, so costs may be slightly higher during this time. On the flip side, slow times of the year may net you a better deal on a dumpster.

Most common roll-off container sizes

Roll-off dumpster sizes vary, but the most common are:

• 10 yard: 12 ft. x 8 ft. x 3.5 ft. (LxWxH)
• 20 yard: 22 ft. x 8 ft. x 4 ft. (LxWxH)
• 30 yard: 22 ft. x 8 ft. x 6 ft. (LxWxH)
• 40 yard: 22 ft. x 8 ft. x 8 ft. (LxWxH)

The container sizes in your area may vary based on what the dumpster rental company carries, as well as the availability of specific containers. If you can’t find the container size you’re looking for, check with a different rental company near you.

Other relatively common container sizes include 8, 12 and 15 yarders. Still, other container sizes are also sometimes available. Trailer dumpsters are a roll-off dumpster alternative that work great for a wide range of situations.
