How It Works

Dumpster Weight Limits & Accepted Materials in 4 Simple Steps

From booking to haul-away — we handle the heavy lifting so you don't have to.

0101

Know Your Materials

Review the accepted and prohibited items lists below. If your project involves heavy or questionable materials, call us first to discuss.

0202

Estimate Your Weight

General household junk and light construction debris usually stays under one ton. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, and roofing add up quickly.

0303

Book with Confidence

Once you know what you're tossing, book your rental. We'll weigh the load at pickup and let you know if there are any overage charges.

0404

Fair Overage Billing

If your load exceeds the included weight, the additional amount is billed at cost based on landfill rates. No surprise markups — just the actual disposal cost.

Why Choose Us

Why Our Dumpster Weight Limits & Accepted Materials Stands Out

Understanding weight limits and accepted materials before you rent a dumpster saves you time, money, and hassle. Here's how it works with IronBin Dumpsters.

Weekly Rentals: $350 includes one ton (2,000 lbs) of waste. If your load weighs more than one ton, the additional weight is billed separately at cost based on current landfill rates — no markup from us.

Monthly Rentals: $575 per month with landfill disposal fees billed separately based on actual weight. This means you only pay for what you actually throw away.

Why One Ton? Most residential cleanouts and light renovation projects generate well under one ton of waste. Household junk, general clutter, yard waste, and standard construction debris are relatively light. However, heavy materials like concrete, dirt, rock, and roofing shingles can blow past the one-ton mark quickly.

Pro Tip: A full 13-yard dumpster of general household junk typically weighs between 1,500 and 3,000 lbs depending on the mix of materials. A dumpster loaded with heavy materials (concrete, soil, brick) can weigh 5,000+ lbs easily.

When in doubt about your project, call us at (208) 553-7290 and we'll help you estimate weight and plan accordingly.
