The amount a 6-by-10-foot dump trailer can hold varies depending on the model. Generally, however, they can hold at least 4 cubic yards of waste with a load capacity of at least 4,000 lbs. This is around 1/4 to 1/2 the amount a standard junk removal truck can hold. It’s also considerably less than the most common dumpster size of 20 cubic yards.

The smallest dumpsters typically available can hold 2 cubic yards and measure 6 feet by 8 feet at 3 feet deep. These are ideal for small cleanup jobs, can hold around 400 pounds, and cost between $75 and $200 per week to rent. For even smaller jobs, there is also the option of renting a dumpster bag. A dumpster bag can come in a variety of sizes and often costs between $100 and $180 per week.

When deciding what order to pack your home, starting with non-essential items such as seasonal decor, rarely used kitchenware, and extra linens is always a smart idea. Next, pack decorations and out-of-season clothing. Then move to kitchen items, electronics, and bathroom supplies, leaving essentials for last. Finally, pack a "first-night" box with must-haves like toiletries, clothes, and essential documents.

With an average weekly dumpster rental cost of $385, you can expect to pay around $1,500 to rent a dumpster for one month. Your exact cost will depend on the size of the dumpster, the dumpster rental company’s prices, and the type of renovation project you’re tackling.
