Dumpster sizes
Seven standard sizes cover almost every job — from a 4-yard mini bin for a weekend cleanout to a 40-yard roll-off for major construction. See them all below, then get matched with a local operator for a price on your exact job.
The smallest walk-in bin — ideal for a single-room clear-out, a small landscaping job, or heavy material like soil and concrete where weight fills the bin before volume.
9 × 6 × 2 ft · ≈ 1–2 pickup-truck loads
from $250 indicative
Rent a 4 Yard dumpsterA step up from the mini bin — suits a small bathroom or kitchen reno, a garage cleanout, or a modest yard project without taking up the whole driveway.
12 × 5 × 3.5 ft · ≈ 2–3 pickup-truck loads
from $330 indicative
Rent an 8 Yard dumpsterA popular residential size for a kitchen or bathroom remodel, a whole-room cleanout, or a small roofing job — driveway-friendly with low walk-in walls.
12 × 6 × 3.5 ft · ≈ 3 pickup-truck loads
from $300 indicative
Rent a 10 Yard dumpsterA versatile mid-size bin for a full-room or multi-room renovation, a large furniture clear-out, or a whole-house cleanout without stepping up to a 20-yard.
12 × 7 × 4.5 ft · ≈ 4 pickup-truck loads
from $300 indicative
Rent a 14 Yard dumpsterThe most commonly rented size in Canada — a workhorse for larger renovations, re-roofing, deck teardowns and general construction debris.
14 × 8 × 5 ft · ≈ 6 pickup-truck loads
from $400 indicative
Rent a 20 Yard dumpsterA construction-grade roll-off for demolition, major renovations and large-volume jobs where a 20-yard would fill too quickly. Dimensions are indicative.
22 × 8 × 6 ft · ≈ 9 pickup-truck loads
from $450 indicative
Rent a 30 Yard dumpsterThe largest roll-off — for big construction and commercial projects or bulky, lightweight material. Best for volume, not weight. Dimensions are indicative.
