Is a 40-yard always cheaper per yard?

Yes per cubic yard, but only if you actually fill it. If you'd only fill it halfway, a 20-yard is cheaper.

Will a 40-yard fit on my street?

Usually yes, but it needs about 60 ft of straight access. Call us with the address and we'll confirm.

Can I put concrete in either?

No. Both are volume containers with 2-ton weight allowances. Concrete needs a 10-yard lowboy.

Volume difference

A 40-yard holds twice the cubic yardage of a 20-yard. If you'd otherwise swap a 20-yard twice during the same job, a single 40-yard is usually cheaper and saves a delivery.

Footprint and placement

A 20-yard is about 14 ft long; a 40-yard is about 22 ft long and stands taller. The 40-yard needs more straight access and clear overhead space — important on tight residential streets.

When 'one big one' is the wrong call

If your debris is heavy or your access is tight, two 20-yards are smarter than one 40-yard. We can swap a 20-yard quickly during the same job.
