Office and Retail Cleanouts
Useful for furniture, shelving, boxes, fixtures, displays, non-hazardous debris, and general cleanup after updates or move-outs.
Commercial Dumpster Rental
Temporary roll-off dumpsters for offices, retail spaces, rental properties, small businesses, and property cleanup work.
Commercial Dumpster Rental That Stays Out of the Way
Business cleanups need to happen without blocking customers, tenants, employees, deliveries, or daily operations. That is why placement and timing matter as much as the dumpster size.
FTH works with offices, retailers, landlords, property managers, and small businesses that need debris gone without turning the site into a bigger problem. Commercial jobs often involve furniture, shelving, tenant debris, fixtures, packaging, and light renovation material, so the plan should be clear before the container arrives.
Common Commercial Dumpster Uses
Property Management Cleanup
Supports landlords and property managers handling tenant move-outs, rental turnovers, foreclosure cleanup, apartment cleanup, or bulky abandoned items.
Business Renovation Debris
Works for non-hazardous remodeling debris such as cabinets, flooring, trim, doors, drywall, and light construction material from commercial spaces.
Commercial Material Guidance
Commercial cleanup can include office furniture, shelving, fixtures, packaging, non-hazardous tenant debris, light renovation material, and bulky abandoned items. Businesses should review electronics, liquids, batteries, appliances with refrigerant, chemicals, and unusual inventory before loading because some materials require special handling or cannot be hauled in a standard roll-off dumpster.
Typical Weight Chart
Use these estimated weights for planning only. Standard rentals include 1 ton of disposal weight, and weight over the included amount is billed at $85 per ton, prorated.
| Common item or material | Typical planning weight | Dumpster planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Office chair | about 25–60 lb each | Bulky but manageable; stack only when safe. |
| Desk | about 75–250 lb each | Solid wood and metal desks weigh more than laminate desks. |
| File cabinet | about 40–200 lb each empty | Remove files before loading; paper weight adds up fast. |
| Retail shelving section | about 40–150 lb each | Break down when practical to reduce wasted space. |
| Pallet of packaging / cardboard | varies widely | Dry cardboard is light; wet cardboard can gain weight quickly. |
| Tenant debris / mixed items | varies widely | Mixed loads should be reviewed before ordering when electronics or appliances with refrigerant are present. Appliances without refrigerant can be loaded at the rear barn doors. |
These are planning estimates only. Actual scale weight varies by size, moisture, material density, brand, construction method, and how the load is packed. FTH Services uses disposal facility weight tickets for final billing when overage applies.
Commercial Dumpster Size Guidance
13 Yard
Works for smaller office cleanouts, back-room cleanup, packaging, and limited fixture removal.
17 Yard
Fits tenant turnovers, retail resets, property-management cleanup, and medium-volume business debris.
20 or 21 Yard
Useful for larger commercial cleanouts, bulky furnishings, renovation debris, and projects where loading room matters.
Commercial Placement and Scheduling Guidance
Access
Choose a location that does not block customer parking, fire lanes, loading areas, tenant access, delivery routes, sidewalks, or neighboring businesses.
Project Timing
Schedule delivery around business hours, tenant move-out dates, contractor work windows, and pickup needs so the container is onsite only when useful.
Material Review
Commercial debris can vary. Keep electronics out of standard dumpster loads unless proper disposal has been confirmed. Load mattresses first, standing vertically on the long edge when possible. Appliances with refrigerant are not accepted. Load appliances without refrigerant at the rear barn doors so they can be accessed at disposal. Plan unusually heavy debris before loading. Do not load liquids, chemicals, batteries, tires, concrete, dirt, brick, rock, heavy fill, or tree stumps in a standard dumpster.
