Is the 16-yard right for your project?

This is DW’s designated dumpster for heavy material such as concrete and dirt. Its diagram shows a 16-foot length, 8-foot width and 4-foot height. Tell the team the material, estimated quantity, piece sizes and whether the load is mixed. The 12-ton equipment maximum does not tell you the included disposal weight or authorize filling the box with any heavy material.

Confirm loading and weight requirements.

DW publishes a 12-ton equipment maximum for this option. This is an equipment limit, not an included disposal allowance. Confirm the permitted load and included weight for your specific debris before booking. Only the 16-yard option may receive heavy material such as concrete and dirt under the current published guidance.

Get a complete rental quote.

Ask for the rental period, delivery and pickup arrangements, disposal allowance, applicable taxes and fees, extension terms and overweight charges. Explain your preferred date and access requirements. A quote request does not reserve equipment or confirm delivery.

Prepare the site and check the debris.

Agree on a placement area and discuss truck access, overhead clearance, gates, driveway conditions and other obstacles. Asphalt roofing material and shingles, tires, liquids, hazardous waste and other excluded materials must stay out. Review the materials and delivery guides before loading.

Questions before you rent

DW will confirm the rental period for your job when quoting. Explain whether you are planning a one-day cleanup, a weekend project or a longer renovation. Ask about the cost and process for extending the rental before the initial period ends.
