What If I Go Over My Weight Limit?

The cost of renting a dumpster is determined by the container’s weight limit. You’ll simply be charged an overage fee if you fill your dumpster beyond the weight limit specified in your rental agreement. Overage fees vary by area and are prorated by the ton.

You will need to remove the surplus contents if your dumpster exceeds the maximum weight limit (10 tons in most circumstances) and cannot be picked up by the truck. To estimate the weight of your debris and avoid overloading your dumpster, use our weight calculator.
