How Much Siding Fits in a Dumpster?

Kurt Anderson • 06/24/2022

If you’re reading this, you’re likely renovating your Atlanta area home siding or had your bid accepted to renovate your customer’s home. This is a very exciting time! But, this can also be very confusing because of all the decisions involved in a remodel. Knowledge is the majority of the battle when it comes to home renovation, and that’s why Bin There Dump That is here to help!

So, how can you tell what size residential dumpster rental you’ll need for all of that siding?

Let’s first take a look at what is available to rent.

What Size Dumpsters Are Available?

Typically, you want to choose the correct sized dumpster for your siding from the onset of your job. Having the right size on-site will allow you and your crew to dispose of the siding as it’s being removed. The correct size will also negate the need for extra work by eliminating the cutting or folding of the siding to get it into the dumpster.

There are three primary sizes – 10-yard, 15-yard, and 20-yard. It sounds pretty vague so far, right? Let’s break these down into helpful visuals.

• 10 cubic yards will hold 1 ton and is the equivalent of about five pickup truck loads*
• 15 cubic yards will hold 5 tons and is the equivalent of about 7-8 pickup truck loads*
• 20 cubic yards will hold 3 tons and is the equivalent of about ten pickup truck loads*

* Based on a standard pickup truck with a 2 cubic yard bed.

What Size Dumpster Works Most Often for Siding?

In our experience, a 20 cubic yard residential dumpster rental will handle the siding from a small to medium home. This size is best considered when doing a significant home addition or remodel, new home construction, or full window or siding replacements.

While it can be tempting to choose a smaller dumpster to “make it work” by cramming in as much as you can to reduce your dumpster rental cost, this is not a wise decision. The money you saved up front on the small dumpster rental will be eaten up when you inevitably fill it past the top edge and will now have to get a pick-up and re-drop. The driver will not be able to haul off the dumpster if materials are piled higher than the top edge, but if any falls out on your job site, you could potentially be subject to fines.

It truly pays to make the best decision up front in this situation.
