What is the weight limit for a 20 yard dumpster?
Due to weight load restrictions, disposal fees, and capabilities of the truck hauling the load, weight limits are put into place by dumpster rental companies. The average weight allowance for 20 yard dumpsters is 3-4 tons (6,000-8,000 lbs). Weight restrictions vary from one company to the next, so make sure you discuss this with each provider you speak to.
