What Is a 40 Yard Dumpster?
The Largest Roll-Off Container for Serious Debris Management
A 40 yard dumpster is the largest container available for roll-off service. With a capacity of approximately 40 cubic yards, it can hold about 12 pickup truck loads of debris. It’s designed to handle bulky, heavy, or high-volume materials, making it the go-to choice for contractors, developers, and large-scale renovators.
Typical Dimensions:
Length: 22 feet
Width: 8 feet
Height: 8 feet
This size is ideal when smaller dumpsters simply won’t keep up with the pace or volume of your job.

Expert Tips for Using a 40 Yard Dumpster
Keep Your Project Running Smoothly
Plan for Placement
Ensure you have enough space on-site for a 22 ft container, with overhead clearance and flat ground.Distribute Debris Evenly
Avoid placing all heavy items on one end of the dumpster. Balanced loading prevents tipping and ensures safe hauling.Use for Volume, Not Pure Weight
While this size is big, it’s best for bulky, lightweight materials. If you’re disposing of concrete, dirt, or brick, we may recommend a different size to stay within legal road weight limits.Avoid Overfilling
The top of the dumpster must remain clear. Overfilled containers may not be picked up due to DOT restrictions.Separate Recyclables If Possible
We can often reduce your disposal costs if materials are separated and sorted—ask us about recycling options.
