How Much Weight Can a Dumpster Hold?

How much weight a dumpster can hold depends on the dumpster itself. RollOffDumpsters.com offers a variety of dumpster sizes that have specific weight restrictions. When loading your dumpster, keep in mind its weight limit. Even though your debris fits within the volume of the container doesn’t mean it weighs less than what’s allowed.
