Do you need to rent a roll off dumpster in Avon, Granby, Farmington, East Granby, or Windsor Locks, CT? If so, Windsor Sanitation has you covered for both residential and commercial applications, including short-term and long-term dumpster rentals. Below, we’ll give you a quick rundown of dumpster weight limits to help you determine which size will best suit your waste removal needs.

Roll Off Dumpster Size and Weight Limits 

At Windsor Sanitation, we rent our residential and commercial dumpsters by the yard. The maximum weight limit for a dumpster depends on the volume of trash it can hold. You can avoid exceeding your dumpster’s weight limit by making sure you rent the correct size. Once you have a general estimate of how much trash you’ll need to throw away, consider renting the next size up just in case you need extra room.

Are you unsure how to tell which size dumpster you’ll need? Remember, dumpster sizes do have weight limits. However, you can get a good idea of which size rental will suit your needs best by considering the type of trash you’ll be throwing away. For example, household waste usually weighs less than demolition or construction trash. So if you’re only doing a quick house cleanout, a smaller size dumpster may be suitable.
