How Much Does a 40 Yard Dumpster Cost?
The average 40 yard dumpster price is $616, but this price ranges from $326 to $945, depending on a few factors.
What's included in your rate:
- Delivery and pickup

The exact cost of your roll off dumpster depends on your location and the type and amount of debris you’re tossing. We bundle everything into one fair rate with no extra fees, so you always know what you’re paying.
How Big Is a 40 Yard Dumpster?
A 40 yard dumpster is usually 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 8 feet high. But these dimensions may vary depending on your location. For successful delivery, our driver needs 60 feet of space and 23 to 25 feet of vertical clearance.
Whether you’d like us to drop off your dumpster on the street, your driveway or another location, make sure the area is flat and paved. Check with your municipality ahead of time to see if you need a permit to rent a dumpster.
Will My Bin Have a Weight Limit?
Yes, all our dumpster rentals include a weight limit in your rate. On average, a 40 yard roll off dumpster has a weight limit of 4 to 5 tons, which equals about 8,000 to 10,000 pounds. If you go over the limit, you’ll pay a per-ton overage fee. To avoid this fee, use our weight calculators to estimate your debris tonnage ahead of time, or talk to a member of our expert team to help you find the right weight limit.
How Much Can a 40 Yard Dumpster Hold?
A 40 yard dumpster rental holds 40 cubic yards of waste or 230 to 250 large trash bags. Usually use a truck to haul your waste? Our 40 yard bin can hold 12 pickup truckloads of debris. This roll off dumpster is a perfect match for all your large-scale cleanups, from renovations to demolition.
