How Much Concrete Can Be Put Into a Dumpster?
Concrete reaches hauling limits quickly due to density. One cubic yard of concrete weighs close to 4,000 pounds, which limits how much material can move safely in a single load. A 12-yard dumpster filled with concrete weighs about 12 tons, marking the maximum amount allowed per haul. Final capacity varies based on slab thickness and how tightly the material packs after removal.
How Much Concrete Fits in a 12-Yard Dumpster?
A 12-yard dumpster holds up to 12 tons of clean concrete when material stays level with the container sides.
How Much Does a 10′ × 10′ Concrete Slab Weigh?
A 10′ × 10′ slab poured at 4 inches thick weighs approximately 4,400 pounds, or about 2 metric tons, slightly more than one cubic yard.
How Much Does 10 Yards of Concrete Weigh?
Ten cubic yards of concrete weigh roughly 40,000 pounds, equal to about 18 metric tons. Projects at this size often require multiple hauls due to truck limits.
How Much Does 20 Yards of Concrete Weigh?
Twenty cubic yards of concrete weigh close to 80,000 pounds, or around 36 metric tons. Projects at this scale require staged pickups or multiple dumpsters.
Does Broken Concrete Weigh More Than Solid Slabs?
Total weight remains similar, though broken concrete compacts more tightly and can reach hauling limits sooner.
Note: Recycling guidelines apply only to clean concrete loads. Tonnage caps do not apply when concrete remains free of dirt, asphalt, slurry, wood or general debris.
Prices for Recycling Concrete, Asphalt & Dirt
Recyclable materials like concrete, asphalt and dirt avoid standard landfill disposal, which lowers overall rental costs. Tonnage charges apply only when other materials mix into the load.
Additional fees may apply when dumpsters require placement on public streets. Street permits and barricades typically fall under the homeowner's responsibility. Local public works departments provide guidance on permit requirements.
Dumpsters for Dirt Removal
Dirt-only dumpsters, or recycling dumpsters containing significant dirt volume, require profiling prior to haul-away. Profiling involves a short questionnaire reviewing soil history and contamination risk. This process completes quickly and allows for proper reuse or disposal.
Dumpster for Asphalt Disposal & Recycling
Asphalt ranks among the most commonly recycled construction materials in the United States. Asphalt removed from parking lots or driveways supports reuse in future paving projects. Asphalt may be mixed with concrete and small amounts of dirt, with recycling facilities handling separation during processing.
Dumpster for Concrete Materials
Concrete loads may include rebar and may be mixed with asphalt and limited amounts of dirt. Loads must remain level with the fill line to meet transportation safety requirements. Clean concrete loads exclude painted surfaces, slurry, dirt, wood or general debris, which helps avoid added disposal costs.
What Style of Dumpster Is Best for Concrete?
Roll-off dumpsters offer the easiest loading method for concrete removal projects. Rear swing gates allow material to roll in using carts or wheelbarrows, reducing lifting and improving job efficiency.
