What a Dirt Dumpster is for
A dirt dumpster starts at $375 and includes 3 tons of weight on a 3 days rental. It takes soil, dirt, clean fill and rock, with no masonry, timber or trash mixed into it.
Soil is the heaviest thing most yards produce. Dry excavated dirt runs about 2,000 pounds a cubic yard, and saturated ground is heavier again, so a general roll-off is over its allowance in about two yards.

The volume of the box itself.
12′ L x 8′ W x 3′ H. Low walls on purpose, so a full load stays inside what the truck can legally lift. - 270Sq ft covered

Weight decides before volume does on this container, so treat the area as a guide and tell us the job. - 3 tonsIncluded
Three times a standard roll-off.
Same 12 by 8 by 3 box as the 10 yard, rated for triple the weight. A smaller container that carries more.
Weight decides this one, not the box
Soil is the heaviest thing most yards produce. Dry excavated dirt runs about 2,000 pounds a cubic yard, and saturated ground is heavier again, so a general roll-off is over its allowance in about two yards.
The container is deliberately only 3 ft high. That is a safety limit built into the box rather than a rule we enforce afterwards, because a deeper container would let somebody load more than the truck can legally lift. Fill it level and you are inside it.
Past 3 tons, extra weight is billed at $145 per ton against a certified scale ticket, which we will send with the invoice on request.

Questions
Dirt Questions
Can you put dirt in a regular dumpster?
No. Dry excavated soil weighs about 2,000 pounds a cubic yard, so a standard roll-off passes its whole weight allowance in roughly two yards of dirt while the box still looks empty. Soil rides in the heavy material container instead, at $375 with 3 tons included.
How much dirt fits in the heavy container?
About 270 square feet of ground taken down a foot, which is 10 cubic yards. Weight will decide before volume does on anything wet. Rain makes a real difference here, because saturated soil can run a quarter heavier than the same dirt dry, so a dig after a wet week is worth mentioning when you book.
Can I mix dirt and concrete in the same container?
No, and it is worth knowing why. They go to different facilities. Clean fill soil and clean masonry are each accepted as single material loads, and mixing them makes the load general waste, which changes both where it goes and what it costs. Two containers is cheaper than one contaminated one.
