A 20 yard dumpster, unlike its smaller counterparts, allows room for bulky items and accommodates varying types of waste. From construction debris to household junk, the versatility is akin to a Swiss army knife.

How to Efficiently Fill a 20 Yard Dumpster

To get the most bang for your buck, make sure every inch of the dumpster is utilized. Break down items where possible and place flat items vertically. It’s a game of Tetris—only this time, your trophy is an efficiently filled dumpster.
