🔍 How to Choose the Right Dumpster Size

Choosing the right size upfront can save you time, money, and hassle. Here are some tips:

  1. Consider your waste type. For heavy materials like concrete, dirt, or shingles, a smaller dumpster may be required due to weight restrictions.

  2. Estimate your volume. If you’re unsure, a quick rule is: 1 pickup truck load ≈ 2–3 cubic yards.

  3. Think about placement. Our dumpsters require a clear, flat space—usually a driveway. Be sure to account for height if your garage has a canopy or tree limbs overhead.

⚖️ Avoiding Overages & Hidden Fees

Every Toss N Haul rental includes a generous weight allowance and transparent pricing. But to avoid extra charges:

  • Don’t overfill the container past the fill line

  • Avoid disposing of prohibited items like appliances with Freon, hazardous waste, or electronics (see our Items Not Accepted page)

  • Load evenly to distribute weight

Need a refresher on what’s not allowed? Check local guidelines from Brown County Port & Resource Recovery or the Wisconsin DNR.


🛠️ Pro Tip: Prep Your Site Before Delivery

Before your dumpster arrives, make sure to:

  • Clear at least 22 feet of overhead space

  • Place plywood on asphalt or delicate surfaces to prevent damage

  • Keep the area free of cars and low-hanging wires
