That depends on how much junk you have. For individual items, hiring a junk removal company is often more cost-effective. However, if you’re doing a major cleanout or completing a large home improvement project, renting a dumpster may be more cost-effective. On average, dumpster rental costs $300 to $480 per week.

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.

If you choose to break down a piano on your own, a 10-yard dumpster should be large enough to hold the individual parts. Keep in mind that junk haulers may not allow you to place a whole piano in a rollaway dumpster, but this will depend on the company, your contract, and local laws. That being said, choosing the right dumpster size will save you from the headache of over-filling the container during your cleanout.

Most people who rent a dumpster choose a 20-yard dumpster, which should be large enough for the following:

• Bathroom remodels
