How Many Truck Loads Fit In A Dumpster?

We get asked this question frequently by many contractors and residents renting our dumpsters. They often want to know what the right sized dumpster is for them. And most people have a decent concept of how much they can fit into a truck load. However, many people have different size trucks which can make it difficult to nail down and exact ratio of truck loads to dumpster size.

​

However, here are some general rules of thumb we give to most folks:

 

10 yard = 3 Truck Loads

15 yard = 5 Truck Loads

20 yard = 6 Truck Loads

30 yard = 9 Truck Loads

​

*These are considering standard truck bed sizes.
