Heads up

  • Heavy materials (concrete/dirt/brick) can exceed weight limits quickly.
  • Don’t stack above the rim—overfilled dumpsters may require unloading.
  • If you’re on the edge, choose the next size up to be safe.

Disclaimer: This calculator provides an estimate only. Final weight depends on material type, moisture, density, and how the dumpster is loaded.
