Many families and businesses in Whiting, New Jersey often find that the hardest part of a cleanup project is choosing the right dumpster size. While smaller dumpsters are more budget-friendly, choosing a size that is too small can lead to extra costs if a second rental is required.

Pro Tip: If you are on the fence between two sizes, it is almost always more cost-effective to “size up” than to pay for a second haul.


1. Inventory Large Items

List your bulkiest items first. These take up the “floor space” of the dumpster:

  • Mattresses & Box Springs
  • Sectional Sofas & Recliners
  • Coffee Tables & Curio Cabinets
  • Dressers & Wardrobes

2. Estimate Total Volume

Junk that has accumulated over decades usually occupies more space once it is moved. If you are clearing out a basement, attic, or a full garage in Whiting, a 20-yard dumpster is typically recommended for flexibility.

“You can’t put 10 lbs in a 5 lb sack.”
