Best Uses for a 12-Yard Dumpster
If your job involves medium household clearing or targeted remodeling, this is usually your best fit.
Room Cleanouts
Ideal for single-car garage clearings, basement cleanouts, attic purging, or getting rid of old furniture, mattresses, and boxes.
Small Remodels
Perfect size for small powder room/bathroom renovations, kitchen cabinet replacement, drywall scraps, and old flooring tear-outs.
Yard & Light Outdoor
Great for trimming heavy brush, small tree branch removal, tearing down small wooden sheds, or clearing overgrown garden beds.
Will a 12-Yard Container Fit Your Driveway?
At 12 feet long, this container takes up roughly the same space as a standard pickup truck. It features low 4-foot sidewalls, making it easy to throw debris over the side or walk heavy items in through the rear swinging gate.
- Requires ~60 feet of straight-line clearance for delivery truck back-in
- Requires 14 feet of vertical overhead clearance (free of tree limbs or power lines)
- Easy-opening full-size rear door for walk-in loading
Important Weight Notice
The 12-yard unit includes 1 Ton (2,000 lbs) of disposal weight. Heavy dense materials such as concrete, dirt, brick, or wet soil can reach 1 ton very quickly. If you are disposing of heavy masonry material, please inform dispatch when ordering.
