Dumpster Sizes in York, PA

The 20 yard is the most popular, but the 15 yard is the most under-ordered — plenty of people book a 20 when a 15 would have done. Describe the job on the phone and we will tell you honestly.

Because you pay for weight as well as space. A cubic yard of broken concrete runs roughly a ton, so a 10 yard box reaches the legal road weight limit while it still looks half empty. Putting concrete in a 30 yard does not get you more capacity — it gets you a box we cannot legally lift. See concrete and heavy debris.

Allow the container's own length plus about 5 feet behind it so the rear door can swing open. The truck itself needs roughly 60 feet of clear space to work in and about 25 feet of overhead clearance while the box is tipping off, so watch low branches and overhead service drops. The container should land on a flat hard surface such as a driveway.

Up to the point the truck is loaded, yes — just call (717) 400-8504. Once it is delivered, swapping means a pickup and a fresh delivery, which costs more than getting it right first time. That is exactly why we spend a couple of minutes on sizing before we book anything.

We cannot legally haul an overfilled container — the load has to sit level with the top rail so it can be tarped. If it is heaped, the driver will have to leave it until it is leveled, which wastes a trip for both of us. Load heavy and flat at the bottom, break down bulky items, and fill the voids.
