12 Yard Dumpster Dimensions
A 12 yard dumpster is usually around 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 4 feet tall. Exact dimensions of your roll off container will vary by location and hauler, but its volume will always be 12 cubic yards.
How Much Can I Throw Away in a 12 Cubic Yard Dumpster?
Our 12 yard dumpster rentals can fit anywhere from 60 to 85 33-gallon trash bags, or 3.5 pickup truckloads. Before setting a weight limit, we’ll learn about your scope of work and the materials for disposal. Local landfills charge by the ton, and overloading your dumpster will result in per-ton overage charges. Your dumpster should weigh between 1-2 tons (2,000-4,000 pounds) when you're finished working, but it can be as heavy as 10 tons depending on what you’re throwing away. To see if this size can accommodate your debris, use our weight calculators or get in touch with our team.
What is the Average Rental Period for a 12 Yard Dumpster?
You can usually keep your 12 cubic yard dumpster for 7-10 days. Rental periods vary by location, and may be 3-5 days in some areas. If you’re tackling a longer project, we can extend your dumpster rental for a flat daily rate. For more information on rental periods near you, give us a call.

How Should I Prepare for Delivery?
Before we deliver your 12 yard dumpster, prepare the drop-off area in four simple steps:
1. Make room.
Your driveway must be at least 60 feet long to fit a 12 yard dumpster rental. Make sure the drop-off area is clear and any cars are parked on the street or in your garage.
2. Look up.
We need 23 feet of vertical clearance to raise your dumpster and place it correctly. It’s important to choose an area that’s clear of overhead wires and branches.
3. Plan ahead.
You don't have to be present for delivery, but make sure our truck can reach the drop-off location. Open any entry gates to your property and clear other potential obstacles in advance.
4. Take note.
Pay attention to your 12 yard dumpster’s weight limit and stay within it. If you don't, you’ll incur additional fees.
Other Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a right way to fill a 12 cubic yard dumpster?
You can fit most debris in a 12 yard dumpster if you load your materials correctly. Place large and heavy items in your bin first, using the swinging door to walk them inside and distribute their weight evenly. Then, you can toss small and light objects over the sides. Before we pick up your 12 yard dumpster rental, make sure your debris is level, with nothing draped on the edges. For more tips on filling your container, give us a call.
What can’t I put in a 12 yard dumpster?
While we accept most materials, there are prohibited items our 12 yard dumpster rentals can’t haul away. This includes oil, asbestos, batteries, household chemicals and other hazardous waste. If you throw these items in a 12 yard dumpster, you may damage the bin and pose a safety concern in landfills. Have questions about the debris you’re tossing? Contact our team.
