Hello all. I've been searching the net today trying to determine the
proper
size dumpster to rent to remove my mothers' old house my father built in
the
back yard by extending the garage about 40 years ago.

The house is about 30 feet by 28 feet, one story, wood framed, it has 5
rooms, and a gable composite roof with about 3 layers of roofing and wood
siding.

It has a concrete slab that I really don't need to remove at the moment as
I'm mainly interested in making the property safe, the house is in really
bad shape and my 82 year old mother is their alone.

Will a 30 yard dumpster hold the walls and roof?...40 yard? What about a
20 yard? I know biger is better because it cost to dump but I don't have
much money, I'll be doing the work by myself.

Thanks
Ed



This is going to be several diumpsters
They fill at least three 30 yard dumpsters building the house.
That stuff doesn't really pack in there that well and if it did the
dumpster would be too heavy to carry on the truck. Then you are taking
stuff out berfore they will take it.
Maybe you just need a fire.

Well it is a bad neighborhood with bums and gunfire. New years is coming
up. The neighbor behind me had two homes burn down on two different July
4th holidays... No I'm not kidding.

Naw... a good thought though. I'm thinking 30 yarders because the 40's are
too high for my old bones and a bunch of 3 mil trash bags now. My sister
has a hardware store heh heh...
