About Dumpster Sizer

Dumpster Sizer is an independent reference site. It works out how much a roof tear-off, a slab, a wall of drywall or a cleanout weighs and how much space it takes, then compares that with the container sizes and weight allowances that national haulers publish. It does not rent dumpsters, haul debris or take a fee from any hauler or town named here.

How the site works

Container sizes and weight capacities come from the size pages that Republic Services, WM and Dumpsters.com publish. Debris weights come from the U.S. EPA's Volume-to-Weight Conversion Factors, shingle and drywall weights from manufacturer listings, and concrete unit weight from Iowa DOT's materials manual. Rental prices and transfer-station fees are copied only from a hauler's or town's own page, with the date read. Every source, formula and exclusion is on the methodology page.

Dumpster Sizer is an information site, not a hauler or a referral service: it does not take bookings, show phone numbers or receive payment from any company or town it names.
