Specifications

The 40 yard at a glance

Dimensions

22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 8 ft high

Capacity

40 cubic yards — about 12 pickup truck loads

Weight included

5–6 tons in the flat rate

Driveway space needed

About 25 ft long × 10 ft wide, plus door swing

Debris needs to stay below the container's top rail on every size so our driver can haul it safely — that holds whether it lands on your driveway or, on the rare job that needs the street instead, wherever the Town of Gilbert confirms is allowed.

Is this the one?

When the 40 yard is the right call

The 40 yard exists for one situation: a large quantity of light-to-mixed construction, demolition or remodeling debris with somewhere open and level to put the box — holding roughly 230–250 bags of capacity, the biggest container we run. Development at the scale of The Ranch — a 311-acre, roughly 3-million-sq-ft mixed-use and light-industrial project taking shape on Gilbert's east side — along with other large commercial build-outs tied to the town's real growth corridor are where this size earns its keep. Open new-construction lots and commercial parcels suit it far better than a tight in-town residential driveway.

It's rarely the right call for a standard residential lot. At 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide, the footprint is the same as the 30, but the walls stand 2 feet taller at 8 ft, which makes hand-loading over the rail genuinely hard work — and concrete, dirt, brick and block still stay off this size entirely, routed instead to a 10 yard. If your site is tight or the debris runs dense, a 30 delivered twice, or a 30 paired with a 10, is very often the faster and more practical plan. Tell us the job when you call and we'll size it honestly rather than default you to the biggest box on the list.

Straight advice: Only take a 40 if the material is genuinely light-to-mixed and the site is open, level and reachable. Concrete, dirt, brick and block never go in a 40 — call for a 10 alongside it instead, and keep everything below the top rail for our driver to haul safely.

Ideal for

  • Major new-home construction and large additions
  • Demolition debris that is mixed and light — not concrete or masonry
  • Commercial build-outs and large-scale development tied to Gilbert's growth corridor
  • New-construction and infill job sites with open access
  • High-volume light debris — packaging, framing offcuts, drywall
  • Jobs where a 30 would need a mid-project swap

How it sizes up against the others

Same flat pricing model across all five. The real question is which weight allowance matches your material — dense debris, roofing, a remodel or a construction phase.

Answers

40 Yard Dumpster questions

What fits in a 40 yard dumpster in Gilbert?

About 230–250 bags — our largest container, built for major construction, demolition and large-scale commercial or new-construction cleanups rather than a typical household job.

Is a 40 yard dumpster practical for a residential driveway in Gilbert?

Rarely. It suits large commercial build-outs and major new-construction sites — the scale of a project like The Ranch on Gilbert's east side — far better than a typical in-town residential lot. For most Gilbert homes, a 30 — or a 30 delivered twice — is the more practical call.

What kind of Gilbert projects usually need a 40 yard?

New-home construction and large additions tied to the town's real growth corridor, large commercial build-outs, and light-industrial clear-outs with open, level access. Call and describe the job and we'll size it honestly rather than default you to the biggest box on the list.
