What is the capacity of a 40 yard container?
A 40 yard container holds around 4.5 to 5.5 metric tonnes, or 10,000 to 12,000 pounds. 40 yard dumpster rentals are used for major renovations, major cleanings, and construction projects. These dumpsters are big enough to hold a large amount of larger or oddly sized materials, such as oversized construction waste, large household items, appliances, and furniture.
Examples of household waste:
- 4,535 kgs of loose yard waste
- 6,000 to 9,000 square feet of carpeting
Examples of construction waste:
- 144 to 188 4x8-feet sheets of drywall
- 120 to 192 bundles of roofing shingles
- 2,500 to 3,000 square feet of hardwood flooring
