Residential Dumpster Rental FAQs

How do you calculate dumpster size?

The exterior dimensions of each roll off dumpster are measured in feet, while the overall dumpster volume is measured in cubic yards.

To complete the calculations on your own, all you need to do is multiply the exterior dumpster length x width x height to determine its volume in cubic feet. Then, all you need to do is divide the result by 27 to convert cubic feet into cubic yards. The simple illustration above can help you better visualize the size of a cubic yard in relation to total volume.
