Weight Limits

Weight limits for a 10 yard dumpster

Most 10 yard dumpsters include 1–2 tons in the base rental price. Exceeding this triggers overage charges of $50–$100 per additional ton.

Heavy materials — concrete, roofing shingles, drywall, and wet debris — fill weight limits faster than they fill the container by volume.

Use our weight calculators: concrete, drywall, shingles, lumber.
