Construction Dumpster Tips for Charlevoix, MI

What size construction dumpster should I get?

Depending on the size and scope of your project, a 10 yard dumpster may be plenty; while other situations may call for a 40 yard dumpster or larger.

2 cubic yards of construction and demolition debris weighs roughly one ton (varies by debris type).

When clean-loading heavy, high-density debris, like shingles or concrete, smaller roll-off containers are generally used. Many rental companies will require the use of smaller (usually 10 yard) containers for heavy materials for the sake of keeping weight at a level that can still be physically hauled away by the dumpster truck.

The dumpster rental providers you speak to will be able to help you choose the best dumpster size for your project needs.

How much does it cost to rent a construction dumpster?

National Average Dumpster Costs
Dumpster Size Average Cost
10 yard $250-$450
20 yard $350-$550
30 yard $450-$650

What you put in the dumpster, how long you keep the dumpster, where you live, and other factors will affect the dumpster price.

Make sure you reach out to multiple providers to ensure you get the best deal.
