Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a front load dumpster? A front load dumpster is a stationary waste container commonly used for commercial and industrial waste collection. It is serviced by a garbage truck using front-mounted prongs that lift and empty the container.
- How is a front load dumpster different from a roll-off container? A roll-off container is designed to be transported and dumped using a truck with a hydraulic lift. A front load dumpster stays in place and is emptied on-site by a service truck.
- Which size front load dumpster should I choose?
The right size depends on your waste volume and business size:
- 2-yard: Small offices, restaurants, or boutiques (up to 25 employees).

- 6-yard: Large retailers or small construction sites (up to 250 employees).

- Can I use a front load dumpster for residential purposes? Yes. Smaller front load dumpsters like the 2-cubic yard size are commonly used for residential or small business waste disposal.
