The 40-yard holds roughly 40 cubic yards, about 16 pickup-truck loads or 8 more than a 20-yard, which is why it fits jobs that generate steady volume over days: a full kitchen-and-bath gut, a multi-room estate cleanout in The Avenues, or a commercial tenant turnover near East Central. Contractors framing additions in Yalecrest and Federal Heights use it so the crew fills one bin instead of swapping a smaller can twice. The container measures roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet tall, so placement matters more than with the smaller sizes.
Choose the 40-yard when debris volume, not weight, is the limiting factor: light, bulky material like drywall, cabinetry, roofing tear-off, and furniture fills cubic space fast. If your job is a single-room remodel or a small deck teardown, a 10-yard at $595 or a 20-yard at $695 is the honest pick and leaves cash in your pocket. If it's a whole-house renovation or a large move-out where you'd otherwise book two 30-yards, the 40-yard at $895 does it in one drop. The trade-off is footprint, a 40-yard needs about 60 feet of straight clearance to set and lift, so a tight Capitol Hill driveway or a narrow Sugar House alley may not take one.
Salt Lake City placement rules apply and this service accounts for them. A container set on a public street or in the park strip near Liberty Wells or Poplar Grove typically needs a city right-of-way permit; a bin on your own driveway or lot in Glendale or Rose Park usually does not. Winter matters too, snow and ice on sloped Avenues streets affect where the truck can safely set a 22-foot roll-off, and an HOA in Federal Heights may restrict street placement. A free on-site visit sorts placement, access, and the permit question before the bin ever arrives.
Here is how it works. 1) Call (385) 521-5368 with your address and job type. 2) A quick on-site visit confirms the container fits and where it will sit. 3) The 40-yard is dropped, often same-day or next-day. 4) You load it over your rental window. 5) One call schedules pickup and disposal, the $895 covers it, with nothing added after. A dumpster rental is not junk removal: you or your crew load it, then it's hauled away. Standard rental runs a set window; if a renovation runs long, call before pickup to extend rather than get surprised.
Every job gets a firm, written price after a free on-site visit.
