Heartland Recycling Services provides roll off dumpsters that are measured by the volume of material that they can carry. Typical sizes of dumpsters range from 10, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards in total volume capacity.
A cubic yard is simply one yard (3 feet) long x one yard (3 feet) wide x one yard (3 feet) high. A cubic yard is also equal to 27 cubic feet. To picture this, two washing machines are just over a cubic yard in volume.
Note: Volume is not equal to weight limit in regards to the size of a dumpster. In addition to knowing the total volume of what you’re throwing away, knowing the approximate weight of these items will help you avoid overage fees and receive the right size dumpster for your project.
Measuring cubic yards is easy! First you will need to measure the area and then calculate the volume. Use the steps below:
Holds 10 cubic yards or about 3 pickup truck loads
Holds 20 cubic yards or about 6 pickup truck loads
Holds 30 cubic yards or about 10 pickup truck loads
Holds 40 cubic yards or about 15 pickup truck loads
