Demolition Debris and Dumpster Calculator

Pick the project and size to see the debris in cubic yards, the tons and the dumpsters or truckloads to plan for.

These tools give planning-level estimates from typical values. They are not quotes, designs or engineering, and results depend on your actual materials, access, hazards, local rules and conditions. Only a site visit can confirm what a project needs, and we give you a written scope and price before any work begins.

Tips

  • Heavy materials such as concrete and brick fill a dumpster by weight long before they fill it by volume.
  • Sorting concrete, metal and clean wood can reduce disposal cost.
  • Add a buffer, because demolition nearly always makes more debris than expected.
Questions

About this tool.

Is this exact?

No. It is a planning estimate based on typical projects. We measure on site and confirm the plan.

Why does weight matter?

Dumpsters and trucks have weight limits, and heavy debris reaches them first.

Does it include the foundation?

It adds an option for foundation and slab material, which is very heavy.
