If you’re planning a renovation, cleaning out a property, or managing a construction site in New Jersey, choosing the right dumpster size can save you time, money, and stress. At A&L Disposal, we’ve helped homeowners, contractors, and business owners across Hudson, Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, and Monmouth Counties keep their projects moving with the right-sized dumpster — delivered fast and picked up on time.
Why Dumpster Size Matters
Choosing the wrong size can lead to two big problems:
- You underestimate your debris and end up needing a second dumpster (and more money).
- You overestimate and rent a dumpster that takes up unnecessary space — or worse, isn’t allowed in your driveway or street.
The right size keeps your project clean, efficient, and within budget.
Common Dumpster Sizes and What They’re Good For
10-Yard Dumpster
Perfect for small cleanouts or DIY home projects. Think: garage junk, yard debris, or light remodeling.
20-Yard Dumpster
A great middle-ground for projects like kitchen or bathroom renovations, small roofing jobs, or flooring replacement.
30-Yard Dumpster
Ideal for larger renovation work, like a full-house remodel or a major cleanout.
40-Yard Dumpster
For the big jobs — commercial construction, demolition, or multi-home renovations. If you’re tearing down walls or doing major debris removal, this one’s for you.

What type of project are you doing?
A bathroom remodel usually won’t need more than a 10 or 20-yard dumpster. A roof tear-off might need a 30. And if you’re working on a full home demo? Go bigger.
How much space do you have?
Check your driveway or worksite. Larger dumpsters need more room and may require special placement or permits.
Are you disposing of heavy materials?
Bricks, concrete, or dirt take up less space but weigh a lot more. You may need a smaller size to stay within weight limits.
