Most dumpster questions arrive at the worst possible moment. The roof is already stripped. The garage is already emptied onto the lawn. And now you are trying to work out what size you should have ordered, what you are allowed to put in it, and whether the truck is going to leave marks on your driveway.
Search for those answers and you get articles written for nobody in particular. Generic sizing charts. Disposal rules from states that are not Louisiana. Advice that ignores what a parish facility will actually accept when you pull up to the scale.
The guides below are written from our own routes around Hammond and Tangipahoa Parish. What real loads actually weigh, what Louisiana facilities take and turn away, how to prepare a driveway before delivery, and how to tell a 15 yard job from a 20 yard job while you can still change your mind.
Start with whichever one matches your project. If you still are not sure after reading, call or text 985-687-3370 and describe the job.
