Frequently Asked Questions About 40 Yard Dumpster Rentals

A typical 40 yard dumpster measures about 22 feet in length, 7.5 feet in width, and 8 feet in height. It has the capacity to hold roughly 12 pickup truck loads, making it a great choice for large-scale cleanouts and construction debris.

Price usually start near $450, though costs can vary due to location, how long you keep the dumpster, and the weight of the materials you dispose of. Most rentals come with a weight allowance of around 4 tons (8,000 pounds); exceeding that limit may result in extra charges.

A 40 yard dumpster can handle construction debris, old furniture, household junk, roofing shingles, and yard waste. Items like hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, and tires are typically prohibited.

Most rentals are set for a 7-day period, but we offer flexible timing options if your project requires more time. Just let us know your schedule, and we’ll work with you to accommodate it.

Permit requirements differ depending on your city or township. If you’re placing the dumpster on a public street or sidewalk, you’ll likely need to obtain a permit. We’re happy to assist you with the permitting process if needed.
