Factors Affecting Concrete Dumpster Costs

Renting a concrete roll off dumpster is similar to renting other bins, but several factors affect a concrete dumpster's cost. These include the size of the container, the weight of the concrete, your location, and the disposal fees in your area. Before making an informed decision on your roll off rental, consider these points:

Understanding Concrete's Density

Concrete takes up less space but is extremely dense. A 15-yard dumpster (filled 3/4 full) is typically sufficient for disposing of debris from a concrete slab, driveway, or patio. However, it's always best to double-check with our dispatch experts at Express Roll Off. Concrete is a low-volume debris, but it weighs a lot, which is why the 15-yard dumpster should only be filled 3/4 full.

Providing Job Details

When calling our dispatch team at Express, be sure to provide as many details as possible about your job. This will assist them in providing you or your company with an accurate estimate and help ensure you choose the best dumpster based on the amount of concrete you need to remove.

Clean Loading for Savings

To avoid additional fees, aim to dispose of only concrete in your dumpster. This process, known as "clean loading," allows for the concrete to be recycled easily, so it can be reused as aggregate or base material for roads and other surfaces. By clean-loading the roll off container and recycling the concrete instead of dumping it at the landfill, you'll save on disposal fees and help the environment.

Weight Considerations for Concrete

Concrete is tremendously heavy. Understanding the weight of your load is crucial to avoid overfilling your dumpster and incurring hefty overage fees or damaging our equipment. Here's a basic guide:

• 1 cubic yard of concrete weighs approximately 4,000 pounds (or 2 tons).
• Most concrete surfaces, such as driveways, slabs, and patios, are poured at roughly 4 inches thick. Use the measurements below to estimate your debris weight:

Concrete Weight Estimates

• Single-car driveway: 10 feet wide x 40 feet long x 4 inches deep = 5 cubic yards of concrete debris x 2 tons = 10 tons total
• Double-car driveway: 20 feet wide x 40 feet long x 4 inches deep = 10 cubic yards of concrete debris x 2 tons = 20 tons total
• Patio: 10 feet wide x 15 feet long x 4 inches deep = 2 cubic yards of debris x 2 tons = 4 tons total
• Pathway or sidewalk: 15 feet long x 2 feet wide x 4 inches deep = 0.4 cubic yards of debris x 2 tons = 0.8 tons total

Caution: Overfilling and Contaminants

Overfilling the roll off container can result in overage fees, unloading fees, and potential damage to our equipment, which can be costly. Additionally, placing rebar or other materials in the dumpster can complicate recycling and transport. Wet concrete should not be disposed of in our dumpsters as it damages the equipment and is difficult to remove once dry.

Additional Fees

Additional fees may apply if:

• You are working on a commercial, government, or new construction job site ($23.66 per ton).
• You have a mixed load of landscape or vegetative debris with your concrete load ($41/ton).
• You are disposing of food trash or pressure-treated wood mixed into your concrete load ($25 flat fee).
