Weight Limits

Weight limits for a 15 yard dumpster

Most 15 yard dumpsters include 1.5–2.5 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.
