Concrete, dirt and brick
Dumpster for concrete, dirt and brick
Breaking out a patio, a walkway or an old retaining wall fills a container with very little volume and a great deal of weight. That changes everything about how it's rented.

Small box, low fill
Heavy debris usually goes in a 10-yard container, and often only part way up. Companies mark a fill line or tell you how high to go, because a full box of concrete is more than a truck can legally lift and carry.
Have rough measurements ready: the length, width and thickness of the slab or wall coming out. That lets the company work out the weight and suggest how many loads.
Clean load or mixed?
Clean
One material only
Just concrete, or just dirt, or just brick. Some companies handle a clean load differently from mixed debris. Ask.
Mixed
Rubble plus everything else
Concrete with wood forms, trash and sod in it. Usually treated as general debris, with weight counting toward the allowance.
Soil
Dirt and rock
Wet soil weighs more than dry. If spring snowmelt has soaked the yard, say so.
Placement for a heavy load
- Put plywood under the rails; a loaded box presses hard on concrete and asphalt.
- Keep it off a gravel shoulder or a culvert. A heavy container and truck can crush either.
- Set it where a wheelbarrow can roll straight in through the rear door.
