For projects involving concrete, asphalt or dirt removal, dedicated recycling dumpsters offer a cost-effective solution. When materials are properly separated, tonnage fees may be waived and materials recycled for reuse. Contact Milwaukee Dumpster Rental today for more information or order online to save $20.
Dumpster Sizes for Concrete, Asphalt and Dirt
We rent several dumpster sizes for hauling concrete, dirt and asphalt, depending on access and loading needs:
- 8-yard dumpster
Compact lugger-style dumpster with high sides and no rear gate. Best for small concrete removal projects with limited space. - 10-yard dumpster
Larger lugger-style option offering additional capacity over the 8-yard. High sides with no gate. - 12-yard dumpster
Largest option approved for concrete removal. Roll-off style with a swinging rear gate, recommended for easier loading and wheelbarrow access.
Is a Roll-Off Dumpster or Lugger Dumpster Better for Concrete?
Dumpster style matters as much as size. The 8-yard and 10-yard options are available only as luggers, which do not include rear gates. Loading requires lifting materials over the sides.
The 12-yard roll-off dumpster includes a rear swinging gate and lower sidewalls. Roll-off dumpsters allow concrete to be rolled in using carts or wheelbarrows, making them a better fit for heavier or higher-volume projects.
How Much Concrete Can Be Put Into a Dumpster?
Concrete weighs about 4,000 pounds per cubic yard, which means even small projects add up quickly. A full 12-yard dumpster of concrete can weigh up to 12 tons, which represents the maximum single load allowed for safe transport. Actual capacity depends on how thick the concrete is and how densely it packs once broken apart.
How Much Concrete Fits in a 12-Yard Dumpster?
A 12-yard dumpster holds up to 12 tons of clean concrete when loaded level with the sides. This represents the maximum single load allowed for transport.
How Much Does a 10′ × 10′ Concrete Slab Weigh?
A 10′ × 10′ slab at 4 inches thick weighs around 4,400 pounds (≈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 (≈18 metric tons). Projects of this size typically require multiple hauls due to truck safety limits.
How Much Does 20 Yards of Concrete Weigh?
Twenty cubic yards of concrete weigh about 80,000 pounds (≈36 metric tons). Material volume at this level always requires multiple dumpsters or staged pickups.
Does Broken Concrete Weigh More Than Intact Slabs?
Weight stays similar, but broken concrete often packs more densely, which can affect how quickly a dumpster reaches hauling limits.
Note: Recycling rules apply only to clean concrete loads. No tonnage cap applies when concrete remains free of dirt, asphalt or general debris.
Concrete Recycling Prices in Milwaukee
Concrete recycling dumpsters cost less than standard dumpsters since recyclable materials avoid landfill disposal. Pricing remains consistent across available dumpster sizes when loads contain only concrete. Rebar is allowed within concrete loads.
Concrete mixed with asphalt or dirt may incur slightly higher disposal rates. Tonnage fees remain waived only when the material qualifies as clean concrete.
Cost of Asphalt Recycling
Asphalt dumpsters qualify for reduced pricing due to recycling eligibility. Tonnage fees do not apply when asphalt remains separated. Mixed loads containing asphalt, concrete or dirt may result in slightly higher rates.
Prices for Dirt Recycling in Milwaukee
Dirt-only dumpster loads qualify for reduced disposal costs since tonnage caps do not apply. Loads mixed with concrete or asphalt may receive adjusted pricing based on material composition.
General Rules for Recycling Dumpsters
For transportation safety, dumpster loads must remain level with the rim of both lugger and roll-off dumpsters. Dirt loads may require profiling prior to disposal. Dumpsters placed on public streets may require permits or barricades, which can add cost. Tonnage rates may apply when general debris mixes with recyclable material.
