Remodeling Debris
Good for kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, flooring removal, cabinet removal, drywall, doors, trim, fixtures, and general renovation cleanup.
Construction Dumpster Rental
Roll-off dumpsters for remodeling debris, contractor cleanup, light demolition, roofing tear-offs, and jobsite waste.
Construction Dumpster Rental With Weight and Material Planning
Contractors and remodelers do not need a disposal surprise at pickup. Construction debris can be bulky, sharp, heavy, or restricted, and the weight can climb faster than the dumpster looks full.
FTH helps plan the container around the job: where crews will load, what material is coming out, whether shingles or dense debris are involved, and how to keep the load safe to haul. Wood, drywall, flooring, cabinets, trim, doors, fixtures, packaging, and general renovation waste are common. Roofing tear-offs are accepted; we do not accept concrete, dirt, brick, rock, or tree stumps in any dumpster.
Common Construction Dumpster Uses
Contractor Jobsite Cleanup
Keeps work areas cleaner during small construction jobs, turnover work, repair projects, commercial build-outs, and property improvement projects.
Roofing and Heavy Material Planning
Roofing shingles can be accepted when the tear-off is planned by roof size, shingle type, and number of layers. Concrete, dirt, brick, rock, heavy fill, and tree stumps are not accepted in standard roll-off dumpster rentals.
Construction Material Guidance
Construction loads often include wood, drywall, flooring, cabinets, trim, doors, fixtures, packaging, and light demolition debris. Roofing shingles need proper weight planning. Concrete, dirt, brick, rock, and heavy fill are not accepted in standard roll-off dumpster rentals because they can exceed safe hauling limits and require a separate disposal plan.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Drywall | about 1.6–2.2 lb per square foot of 1/2-inch sheet | Wet drywall weighs more. Spread stacks low. |
| Carpet and padding | about 0.5–1.5 lb per square foot | Rain can make carpet much heavier. |
| Cabinet section | about 40–120 lb each | Break down when practical. |
| Interior door | about 20–80 lb each | Flat items load well low or along the side wall. |
| Architectural shingles | about 250–400 lb per roofing square | Plan roofing debris carefully because weight builds quickly. |
| Plywood sheet | about 45–75 lb per 4×8 sheet | Water-damaged wood may weigh more. |
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.
Construction Dumpster Size Guidance
13 Yard
Good for small repair jobs, limited demolition, flooring, trim, and compact renovation debris.
17 Yard
Useful for bathroom remodels, small kitchen work, drywall, cabinets, and contractor cleanup on tighter jobsites.
20 or 21 Yard
Best for larger remodels, bulky construction debris, roofing tear-offs, and cleanup where crews need more loading room.
Construction Delivery and Loading Guidance
Jobsite Placement
Place the dumpster where crews can load efficiently without blocking work vehicles, public access, utility areas, or the truck route needed for pickup.
Weight Control
Spread heavy debris evenly across the container floor. Do not load prohibited heavy fill, and do not fill the dumpster by volume alone because weight limits can be reached before the container looks full.
Safe Loading
Keep all debris below the top rail, avoid hanging material over the sides, and do not load prohibited items or material that could make the container unsafe to haul.
