Weight Limitations

All dumpsters have a maximum payload weight limit. Here are some guidelines to consider when you are choosing a Denver dumpster rental.

• Companies offer weight limits that are roughly 300 to 500 lbs per cubic yard; for example, a 12-yard roll off may have a 4,000 to 6,000 lb limit.
• Some companies specialize in heavy loads; i.e., concrete, asphalt, etc.
• Exceeding established weight limits will normally result in extra charges, and in extreme cases, can damage the roll off or the truck.
