Trucks have a maximum legal weight that they can carry. This is generally about ten (10) tons. Each box has a prescribed weight limit. Anything over that prescribed weight limit is charged at $60.00 per ton.

If you have any questions about your load call us and we will help you determine the best method of handling your debris.

These Trucks, called Roll Off Trucks need about thirty-five (35) feet of straight-line access to load or unload a box. Check for obstacles such as overhangs, tree limbs, telephone wires, etc..

In the Construction and Demolition Industry (C&D), the most commonly used box is the "40". These boxes are twenty two (22) feet long, eight (8) feet wide, and six (6) feet high. When properly loaded they will hold approximately 39.11 cubic yards.

The 20 Cubic Yard Box "20", 30 Cubic Yard Box "30", and the 40 Cubic Yard Box "40" are designed to hold mixed loads that do not contain heavy materials such as asphalt, brick, concrete, dirt, rock, etc..

The "30" which is eighteen (18) feet long, eight (8) feet wide, and six (6) feet high is sometimes used where there is not enough clearance or load space for a standard "40". These boxes can also be used for Green Loads.

If your load does contain heavy materials the eight cubic yard "8" and ten cubic yard "10" boxes are designed for just this purpose. The "8" is recommended, loaded properly it is more efficient and handles heavy loads best.
