What Is the Difference Between a Roll Off Dumpster and a Regular Dumpster?
Different Types of Use
- Standard Front Load Dumpster Use – A standard dumpster (also called a front load dumpster) is designed to hold normal everyday waste from businesses, apartments, or other facilities. Standard dumpsters are a long term solution to commercial and residential waste that are emptied daily, weekly or bi-weekly depending upon your contract with your waste management company.
- Roll Off Dumpster Use – On the other hand, roll off dumpsters are rented over a short period of time so people and businesses can discard large quantities of waste over a short period of time.
Dumpster Sizes
Standard front loading dumpsters come in different sizes, but they are generally much smaller than roll off dumpsters. Additionally, standard front loading dumpsters dimensions are drastically different than roll off dumpsters. Standard dumpsters used in commercial settings are more box shaped.
Here are the typical sizes that standard front loading dumpsters & roll off dumpsters will come in:
Standard Front Loading Dumpster Sizes
- 2 Yard Front Loading Dumpster 6 Feet in Length x 3.0 Feet in Width x 3 Feet in Height
- 4 Yard Front Loading Dumpster 6 Feet in Length x 4.2 Feet in Width x 4 Feet in Height
- 6 Yard Front Loading Dumpster 6 Feet in Length x 5.5 Feet in Width x 6 Feet in Height
- 8 Yard Front Loading Dumpster 6 Feet in Length x 6.8 Feet in Width x 7 Feet in Height

15 Yard Dumpster

Dumpsters Length of Rental
- Standard Front Loading Dumpsters Length of Rental – Companies that offer standard front loading dumpsters in commercial settings typically have term contracts. That means you will need to sign a contract for a specific length of time to have a standard dumpster. Common term lengths for standard front loading dumpsters are 12 months, 24 months, or 36 months.
- Roll Off Dumpsters Length of Rental – Roll off dumpster rentals are designed to be an immediate solution to your waste needs without a long term contract. The length of time that most roll off dumpster rental terms will last is about 7 days. However, most roll off dumpster rental companies are flexible and will allow you to keep a dumpster longer for an additional fee.
Dumpster Design
Roll off dumpsters and standard front loading dumpsters are built to suit the individual needs of the people who use them. Furthermore, the design of each type of dumpster is engineered to maximize the dumpster rental company’s efficiency.
Here is a brief summary of how roll off dumpsters and front loading dumpster designs are different.
- Roll Off Dumpster Design Features – Roll off dumpsters get their name because of the strong metal wheels on the back of the dumpster that help roll them into place. User friendly roll off dumpsters have a large door that takes up the entire front of the dumpster. The large door on a roll-off dumpster is designed to give people easy access to the inside of the dumpster so they can easily discard items. There’s even plenty of room to roll a wheelbarrow in to discard waste. In addition to this large door, the entire top of a roll off dumpster is open. Once a dumpster is too full to keep the large front door open, waste can still be thrown over the edge of the dumpster to maximize the amount of space you’re able to fill within the dumpster.
- Standard Front Load Dumpster Design Features – Standard front loading dumpsters typically have one or two lids on hinges. The hinged doors allow the lids on top to be open or closed easily. Fortunately some larger sized standard dumpsters have a sliding door on the side to make it easier to discard items. Front load dumpsters have two reinforced metal slots on the side of the dumpsters called pockets. These pockets are used by the dump truck to securely pick up the entire dumpster and dump its contents in the back of the dump truck. Some front load dumpsters will also have another piece of reinforced steel on the front to help lift the dumpster.

Unlike nationwide dumpster brokerages, which act as middlemen, we are a local company. Brokerages are a type of company that uses search engines to find people who need dumpster rental services. When customers book their dumpster rental with a brokerage, the brokerage will sell that job to a local dumpster rental company. In short, a brokerage acts as a middleman between the customer and dumpster rental companies. Brokerages are not the ones providing dumpster rental services to local customers. Naturally, to make a profit, a brokerage needs to charge the customer more than the dumpster rental companies.
