For major construction jobs, a 40 yard dumpster can help make your life a lot easier. They feature the same general footprint as a 20 yard and 30 yard dumpster, but they offer more height.

If you’re not sure about what size dumpster you need, here are a few tips to help you make that determination:

What will a 40 yard roll-off dumpster hold?

A 40 yard roll-off dumpster will take 40 cubic yards of waste. A 40 yard dumpster is 22’ long by 8’ wide by 8’ in height.

Dumpster size is measured in cubic yards, with one cubic yard being 3’ x 3’ x 3’ – about the size of your standard household stove or washing machine.

40 yard bin will hold approximately six to eight tons of waste. That’s about 20 pickup truckloads of waste. When you look at it that way, a 40 yard roll-off is a far more economical and time-saving choice than simply doing it yourself.

Roll off dumpsters vs. regular dumpsters

The biggest difference between roll-off dumpsters and regular commercial dumpsters is that roll-offs are used on a temporary basis, such as for construction or demolition projects, and commercial dumpsters generally remain on site for extended periods.

Additionally, Commercial dumpsters are on wheels so that they can be moved when necessary. Roll-off dumpsters are brought in on a truck and will remain in place until we come to haul your debris away.

40 yard Action Roll-Off dumpsters all have an open top and swinging double doors on one end. These doors can be opened for easy access or can remain closed.
