Major demolition
Full structure teardowns, large garage and outbuilding demos, gut renovations. When a 30 would mean a second haul.
Dumpster · 40 Yard
40 yard dumpster rental.
Our largest roll-off — the container we drop for major demolition, commercial jobs, and high-volume bulk waste. The 8-foot walls need a long, clear run-up; if you're not sure a 40 will fit, send us a photo of your site and we'll spec it for you.
Specs

- Dimensions: 22 ft long · 8 ft wide · 8 ft tall
- Capacity: ~17 pickup truck loads
- Best for: Major demolition & commercial jobs
- Driveway footprint: Needs a long, clear run-up
The 40-yard is the most volume we offer. The tall 8-foot walls and 22-foot length need real placement room — both for the container and the truck's swing. This is a commercial-site and large-lot container; call us if you're unsure and we'll review aerial imagery of your address before we roll out.

Allowed Materials
What can — and can't — go in your 40-yard.
The 40-yard accepts the full range of construction, demolition, and commercial waste. Heavy aggregates are not loaded in the 40 — concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt come in our 10-, 15-, and 20-yard containers. Hazardous materials are never allowed in any roll-off.

Bulk light material

40-Yard FAQ
Quick answers about the 40-yard.
How big is a 40-yard dumpster?
The 40-yard is our largest roll-off: roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet tall, holding about 17 full-size pickup truck loads of debris. It's the most volume we offer — built for major demolition, commercial jobs, and high-volume bulk waste.
Will a 40-yard fit on my property?
Usually only on commercial sites and large lots. At 22 ft long with 8-ft walls, the 40 needs a long, clear run-up for both the container and the truck's swing. Most drops happen on active construction sites, commercial lots, or in the public right-of-way with a permit. Send us a placement photo and we'll spec it before we roll out.
What's the difference between a 30 and a 40?
Capacity and wall height. The 40 holds ~17 pickup loads to the 30's ~14, with 8-foot side walls versus 6 feet — both 22 feet long. Choose the 40 when a 30 would mean a second haul on a high-volume demolition or commercial job.
Can I put concrete or dirt in a 40-yard?
No — heavy aggregates like concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt are too heavy for a 40. Those materials load into our 10-, 15-, and 20-yard aggregate containers, which are built and permitted for the weight. The 40 is for lighter, high-volume demolition and construction debris.
Do you offer commercial accounts for the 40-yard?
Yes. Tell us your typical volume and we'll set up a standing account with repeat-customer terms and reliable swap-outs. Commercial accounts welcome — ask about billing.
