    How to Choose the Right Dumpster Size in Orlando

    Choosing the wrong dumpster size is the most common mistake renters make. Too small and you'll need a costly second delivery. Too large and you waste money on unused space. This guide helps you match the right dumpster to your specific project in Orlando and Central Florida.

    Start with Your Project Type

    Different projects generate different amounts of debris. Bathroom remodel: 10-yard. Kitchen remodel: 20-yard. Whole-house renovation: 30-yard. Commercial demolition: 40-yard. Garage cleanout: 10 or 20-yard. Roof replacement: 20 or 30-yard. These are general guidelines for Orlando projects.

    Consider the Material Weight

    Light materials (household junk, furniture, boxes) fill up space before hitting weight limits. Heavy materials (concrete, tile, roofing shingles) hit weight limits before filling the dumpster. For heavy projects, you may need a larger dumpster not for space, but for the higher weight allowance.

    The 'When in Doubt' Rule

    If you're undecided between two sizes, go with the larger one. The price difference is typically $50-$100, which is far less than the cost of ordering a second dumpster ($300+). It's always cheaper to have a little extra space than to run out.
