Dumpster Weight Limits & Heavy Materials Guide

Volume and Weight Are Different

A container can have enough room for your debris but still become too heavy to haul safely. Concrete, brick, dirt, roofing shingles, and dense construction debris can add weight quickly. If your project includes heavy materials, call FastWay before loading so we can help you choose the right option.

Materials That Need Extra Attention

• Concrete, brick, and dirt: These materials are dense and can become too heavy quickly.
• Roofing shingles: Shingles can add substantial weight even when the container does not look full.
• Mixed construction debris: Wood, drywall, flooring, and fixtures can add up on renovation projects.
• Items requiring special handling: Contact FastWay before loading anything you are unsure about.

Load Safely and Avoid Delays

• Keep all debris below the maximum loading level.
• Do not leave materials sticking out over the top or sides.
• Spread heavy materials evenly rather than piling them in one spot.
• Keep the container accessible when you are ready for pickup.
