Choosing a dumpster can be quite tricky! It's important to consider(!) the size and type of debris that you'll be disposing of. (Negation) You don't want to get a too-large one if your amount of waste doesn't warrant it; but, at the same time, you don't want to end up being stuck with a too-small one either!
First off, think about how much refuse you will be getting rid of. If it's just a small amount, then obviously one of those mini rolloff bins would do the job. On the other hand, if you have large amounts of trash to dispose of - like construction material or even furniture - then something bigger may be in order. That way you won't need to worry about filling it up quickly and having to rent another later on.
How long is 10 cubic yards? (This) is a question that often confuses people! It's not an easy one to answer, as it depends on the shape of the yard and the exact size of each cube. Generally speaking, though, most yards are around 3 feet wide by 10 feet long. This means that if you were to fill it with 10 cubes of equal size, they would be 1 foot by 1 foot by 1 foot in dimension. So all together, they would take up 10 cubic feet and would be 30 feet long. That's (quite) a lot!
A 10 ton dumpster (can be a real eyesore!) It looks like a massive metal box with slanted sides. Not to mention, it's usually painted an unappealing bright green or yellow color. The size of the container is quite large and can vary depending on what type you get. In general they are anywhere from 16 to 20 feet long and 8-9 feet in width, with heights ranging between 6-7 feet tall! Plus, they have either open tops or hinged doors that open up so that waste can be deposited inside. And obviously, it takes two people to lift its weighty lid!
Also, these dumpsters must meet certain safety standards in order for them to be used legally. For instance, this means that the walls need to be thick enough so that the material within won't spill out onto the ground when being transported from one location to another. Furthermore, this also means that these containers must be able to withstand incredible amounts of pressure so as not to break apart when filled with heavy rubble and debris.
