What Makes This Bin Different
Square walls, not tapered
Most competitors use tapered containers — narrower at the bottom than the top — which wastes usable space. Neighborly Hauling’s 12 yard bin is square from top to bottom.
- Interior: 85″ wide × 141″ long × 49″ tall
- True capacity: 12.58 cubic yards — more than the nameplate
- Every cubic yard is fully usable, not theoretical
Sized for single-car driveways
At 93″ wide and 154″ long, the 12 yard fits comfortably in the narrow driveways common in East Grand Rapids, historic Grand Rapids neighborhoods, and downtown properties.
- Fits along a fence line without blocking vehicle access
- Load from the side or over the top rail — no awkward angles
- HDPE Rolliskate™ boards protect concrete and asphalt on every drop
7-ton weight capacity
Don’t let the compact size fool you. With a 14,000 lb maximum weight, this bin handles the heaviest residential loads without flinching.
- Roofing shingles and asphalt tear-offs
- Concrete, brick, and tile
- Dense construction debris
- Entire mobile home debris loads have been hauled in one pull
What the 12 Yard Is Built For
Roofing Tear-Offs
The go-to size for asphalt shingles — dense enough to hit weight limits before volume. Perfect for a standard residential roof.
Garage & Basement Cleanouts
Weekend projects, estate cleanouts, or pre-move purges. Holds ~3–4 pickup truck loads of mixed household debris.
Bathroom Remodels
Tile, fixtures, drywall, and cabinetry from a single bathroom or small kitchen fit cleanly in a 12 yard without overpaying for volume you won’t use.
Demo & Concrete
Concrete, brick, and heavy demo debris hit weight limits fast regardless of size. The 12 yard keeps you cost-efficient without wasting cubic yards.
Tight Access Sites
When a larger bin simply won’t fit — narrow driveways, close fences, small lots — the 12 yard goes where a 17 or 21 can’t without sacrificing much usable space.
Small Contractor Jobs
For contractors doing targeted work — a single bathroom, a small roof section, or a focused demo — the 12 yard keeps overhead lean without compromising capacity.

12 Yard Dumpster FAQs

How much does a 12 yard dumpster hold?
Neighborly Hauling’s 12 yard bin has a true interior capacity of 12.58 cubic yards — roughly 3 to 4 pickup truck loads of debris. Because the walls are square rather than tapered, every cubic yard is fully usable. The bin can hold up to 14,000 lbs (7 tons), making it suitable for heavy materials like roofing shingles and concrete.
Will a 12 yard dumpster fit in my driveway?
The 12 yard bin measures 93 inches wide by 154 inches long — sized to fit a standard single-car driveway. It fits along fence lines and in narrow driveways common in East Grand Rapids and older Grand Rapids neighborhoods. HDPE Rolliskate™ driveway protection boards are included on every delivery to prevent surface damage.
Is the 12 yard the right size for a roofing tear-off?
Yes — it’s typically the right choice for a standard residential roof tear-off. Asphalt shingles are dense and reach weight limits before volume limits, so a larger bin doesn’t provide meaningful benefit for most roofing jobs. If you’re doing a steep or unusually large roof, Neighborly Hauling also offers a roofing-tier pricing option with more tonnage included upfront at a lower overage rate. Mention it when you book.
What’s the difference between a 12 yard and a standard 10 yard dumpster?
Neighborly Hauling’s 12 yard bin exceeds a standard industry 10 yard container in both interior dimensions and actual capacity. The square-wall design means you get 12.58 true cubic yards — more than the nameplate capacity of most competitors’ “10 yard” containers, which use tapered walls that reduce usable space.
