More than one manufacturer produces 40-yard roll-off containers. Each roll-off container typically has different exterior dimensions. As you can see, the typical size is 7.5 feet tall by 7.5 feet wide and 22 feet long. It is important to know the interior volume of the 40-yard dumpster is the same from all of the manufacturers. If you can fit an extended cab truck in your driveway, the chance is good this size dumpster will fit too. Make sure you have the height for this large dumpster.
40-yard dumpsters can hold about 12 pickup truck loads. Although you can fit a lot of junk and debris into this size, make sure you pay attention to the weight of your items.

Preparing for the delivery of your 40-yard dumpster rental involves a few key steps to ensure a smooth process. First, identify a suitable placement area that is easily accessible for the delivery truck and close to your project site. This area should be level, free of overhead obstructions like wires or branches, and spacious enough to accommodate the dumpster’s dimensions, usually about 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 8 feet high. Clear any vehicles, equipment, or debris from this area. Additionally, check with local authorities if you need a permit to place the dumpster on public property or if there are any restrictions you should be aware of. Communicate any potential obstacles, such as gates or tight turns, to the rental company in advance. Finally, make sure the drop-off and pickup dates are confirmed, and the path to the delivery site is unobstructed on the day of delivery.
Typical rental periods from companies range between 3-and 7 days. At Waste Removal USA, we understand larger projects take more time in order to finish.
