A 40 yard dumpster measures 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet tall. It holds 40 cubic yards of waste, or about 16 to 20 pickup truck loads. This is the biggest dumpster rental size we offer at Capri Carting. It is built for big jobs, like large demolitions and warehouse clean-outs.
40 Yard Dumpster Dimensions and Capacity
This bin is big, but it still fits on most job sites with enough space. Here is what you get with a 40 yard dumpster:
- Length: 22 feet
- Width: 8 feet
- Height: 8 feet
- Capacity: 40 cubic yards, or about 16 to 20 pickup truck loads
The tall sides make this bin great for bulky, lightweight items. It works best for light, big loads, not heavy fill like dirt or concrete.
What Fits in a 40 Yard Dumpster
A 40 yard bin is made for big volume jobs. It works well for:
- Warehouse and store clean-outs
- Large roofing tear-offs
- New home framing waste
- Big demolition jobs
If your project makes a lot of trash, but not heavy trash, this size is a good fit.
Things to Check Before You Rent
A 40 yard dumpster needs more room than our smaller bins. You need about 60 to 70 feet of straight space for the truck to back in and drop the bin. You also need at least 23 feet of overhead clearance, since the truck must tilt the bin to unload it. Low branches, wires, or tight streets can get in the way, so it helps to check your space before you book.
