Quick, definitive sizing advice for garage purges, attic cleanouts, multi-room decluttering, and whole-house estate cleanouts in DFW.
For a standard single-car garage cleanout, attic purge, or small basement decluttering, a 15-yard dumpster (16′ L × 8′ W × 4′ H) with 1.5 tons (3,000 lbs) of included weight is typically the perfect capacity.
For a 2-car garage full of bulky junk, multiple bedroom purges, or combined garage and yard debris cleanouts, a 20-yard dumpster (16′ L × 8′ W × 5.4′ H) with 2.0 tons (4,000 lbs) of included weight is our most recommended choice.
For complete estate cleanouts, major foreclosures, or full-home renovations involving large furniture and demolition debris, choose a 25-yard dumpster (16′ L × 8′ W × 6.5′ H) with 2.2 tons (4,400 lbs) included.
All Lone Wolf containers include a swinging rear walk-in door, making it easy to carry sofas, dressers, and heavy boxes inside at ground level. Maximum total load for any container is 4.5 tons (9,000 lbs).
