Dumpster Size Calculator

Not sure whether your project needs a 10-yard or a 30-yard? Answer three questions below and we’ll give you the size we’d actually recommend on the phone — with the real starting price, not a teaser number.

How the recommendation works

Two things decide dumpster size: how much debris you have, and how heavy it is. Volume sets the container size — roughly, every 3 pickup-truck loads is one 10-yard step. Weight is the catch people miss: shingles, concrete, dirt, and plaster hit the truck’s legal weight limit long before the container looks full, which is why the calculator steers heavy loads toward a smaller can loaded level instead of a big one that can’t legally leave your driveway.

Every price shown includes delivery, pickup, a 7-day rental, and a ton of disposal — the same flat pricing on our Asheville pricing guide. If your project sits between two sizes, send us the details or call (828) 220-3068 and we’ll make the judgment call with you — honestly, even if that means the cheaper container.
