Is a 40 yard dumpster worth the step up?
For the largest dumpster rental, the 40 yard dumpster dimensions are 20 feet by 7 feet by 8 feet, so this 40 yard roll off dumpster is our biggest. Compared with the 30 yard you get walls two feet higher for the same 3 tons included, which makes it the box for bulky debris. The catch is the height: an 8 foot wall is hard to load over, so plan how the pieces go in.
Jobs that fit a 40 yard
- A warehouse or office clean-out
- A full demolition of a shed, barn or interior
- A new build from framing through drywall
- A multi-unit apartment turnover
- A large commercial renovation
What a 40 yard costs in Fayetteville
The price depends on how many days you need (1 to 7), the weight and the address, so we quote it on the phone before anything is scheduled. The 40 yard includes 3 tons, so heavy debris like concrete belongs in a smaller box.
| Job | Typical weight | Fits a 40 yard? |
|---|---|---|
| Small commercial clean-out | 1 to 2 tons | Yes, within the 3 tons |
| Framing a new house | About 3 tons | Yes, around the 3 tons |
| Two-layer roof, 30 squares | About 6 tons | Not alone, plan on a 30 yard or a swap |
When a 40 yard is too much
If the debris is heavy, like concrete, brick or dirt, the 40 yard reaches its 3 tons long before it is full, so a smaller box does the same work. For jobs under about 15 pickup loads, the 20 or 30 is enough.
Where a 40 yard goes
It's the same 20 by 7 footprint as the other boxes, so the approach is the same: a straight run for the truck and clear air above. On a job site, put it where the truck can reach it in the rain.
In our experience the 40 yard saves money on bulky demolition and commercial clean-outs that would have needed two 30s. Plan the loading order before the box arrives and it fills faster.
40 yard rental questions we hear most.
Is a 40 yard the same length as a 30 yard?
Yes. All three boxes are 20 feet long and 7 feet wide, so the 40 yard fits wherever the 30 does. The difference is wall height: 8 feet against 6 feet.
How do I load a box with 8 foot walls?
Put big pieces in first, from the back, then fill toward the door. An 8 foot wall is tall, so plan the loading with a ramp or a loader, and ask us about placement when you book.
What if I fill the 40 yard before the rental is up?
Call us and we'll swap it for an empty one. Builders on long jobs often ask about a repeat swap-out.
Enough capacity for the biggest jobs. Without a second box.
The 40 yard is the biggest we run, with the same 7 foot width as the smaller boxes.
