Frequently Asked Questions (40-Yard Dumpsters)
What is the weight limit for a 40-yard dumpster?
Our 40-yard dumpsters typically include a generous weight allowance (usually up to 4 or 5 tons) in your flat rate. If you are disposing of extremely heavy materials, it is crucial to discuss this with our dispatch team beforehand to avoid prorated landfill overage fees.
Can I load a 40-yard dumpster with concrete or dirt?
No. Because a 40-yard container holds so much volume, filling it with heavy materials like concrete, asphalt, or dirt will instantly exceed legal highway weight limits. The truck will not be able to lift it. For heavy aggregates, you must rent a heavy-duty 10-yard dumpster.
Do I need a permit for a 40-yard dumpster?
If the container is placed entirely on your private property (like a large commercial driveway), usually no permit is required. If it needs to sit on a public street, you will likely need a permit. Read our guide on permits or contact us for assistance.
