Which Dumpster Size Is Right for You?

When it comes to renting a dumpster in Northwest Arkansas, one of the most common questions we hear is:
“What size dumpster do I need for my project?”

At Elite Dumpster Services, we offer two popular roll-off sizes: 16-yard and 28-yard. Choosing the right one can save you time, money, and unnecessary headaches.

Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide:

16-Yard Roll-Off Dumpster: Best for Smaller Jobs

• Dimensions: Approx. 16 ft long x 7.5 ft wide x 4 ft high
• Ideal For:
  • Garage clean outs
  • Small remodeling projects (like a single bathroom or kitchen)
  • Yard debris and landscaping jobs
  • Up to ~6 pickup truck loads of material

This size is perfect if you’re working on a weekend project, de-cluttering a home, or handling light construction debris.

28-Yard Roll-Off Dumpster: Built for Big Projects

• Dimensions: Approx. 16 ft long x 7.5 ft wide x 6 ft high
• Ideal For:
  • Full home renovations
  • Large roofing jobs
  • Construction site cleanups
  • Moving cleanouts
  • Up to ~12 pickup truck loads of debris

If your project involves bulkier materials, large amounts of construction waste, or you’re simply not sure how much you’ll need to toss, the 28-yard is your safest bet.

Our Advice:

If you’re on the fence, we typically recommend going one size bigger than you think you’ll need. It’s more cost-effective to get the right size up front than to need a second dumpster later.
