Learn moreThe single thing worth understanding about sizing
Every container has two limits: the space inside it and a tonnage allowance set by what the truck can legally carry. You reach whichever comes first, and on a lot of Newton County projects the weight limit arrives long before the container looks full.
That is why the answer to "what size do I need" starts with what the material is rather than how much of it there is. Plaster, tile, masonry, soil and roofing shingles are dense. Furniture, framing, packaging and general household contents are bulky and light. The same volume of each needs a completely different container.
Rule of thumb. If the debris is heavy, go one size down from what the volume suggests and fill it properly. If the debris is bulky and light, order by volume and fill it to the rim. If it is concrete, brick, block or soil, it goes in a 10 yard regardless of quantity — anything larger cannot legally be transported once loaded.
