What Is a Roll-Off Dumpster?

One type of dumpster that you will find on many job sites is what’s known as a roll-off dumpster which comes in many sizes.  A roll-off dumpster is constructed with heavy steel rails running along the length of the dumpster, allowing massive amounts of weight to be picked up by a cable hoist attached to a truck.  This allows waste to be carried at one time in one dumpster.  Here at Piedmont Disposal & Recycling, we have roll-off dumpsters ranging from 20-yard dumpsters up to 40-yard dumpsters. All of which are 22ft. In length.
