How big is a 40 yard dumpster?

A 40-yard dumpster is a large commercial or construction-size dumpster that is typically used for large-scale cleanups, construction projects, or demolition. It is typically 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet high. Here are some size comparisons to a 40-yard dumpster:

A standard one-car garage is typically around 12 feet wide, 20 feet long, and 8 feet high, so a 40-yard dumpster would be twice as long as a one-car garage and as wide and high.

A standard swimming pool is typically around 12-15 feet wide and 30-40 feet long, so a 40-yard dumpster would be around the same width but more than double the length of a standard pool.

A standard school bus is typically around 35-45 feet long, so a 40-yard dumpster would be about the same length as a school bus.


A standard semi-trailer truck is typically around 53-80 feet long, so a 40-yard dumpster would be about half the length of a standard semi-trailer truck.


A standard shipping container is typically around 20-40 feet long, so a 40-yard dumpster would be the same length as a standard shipping container.


It's important to keep in mind that the size of the dumpster will depend on the type of project you have and the amount of waste or debris that you need to dispose of. It's better to have a bigger dumpster than to have to rent multiple smaller ones.
