True 17 Yard Capacity

- Roofers managing shingle tear-offs
- Deck builders removing old lumber
- Fence companies hauling posts and panels
- Contractors tackling mid-size remodels or demo jobs
- Homeowners taking on multi-room cleanouts or DIY renovations
Compact Enough for Tight Spaces
Measuring about 93″ wide and 204″ long, this bin fits comfortably in many single-car driveways, alleys, or tight city lots—great for projects in East Grand Rapids, Forest Hills, and other neighborhoods with narrow spaces.

If you need a dumpster that’s:
- Big enough for roofing, decking, and remodeling projects
