What a 40 yard dumpster is good for
A 40 yard dumpster is the largest common roll-off. Its 8-foot walls make it best for light, bulky debris on big jobs: commercial cleanouts, large construction projects and full-building renovations.
This size is best for bulky, lighter debris. For heavy material like concrete or dirt, a smaller container is usually the better fit.
