On a jobsite the right box depends on what you’re throwing out that week. Light, bulky debris fills by volume; concrete and masonry fill by weight. Match the phase:
| Phase | Typical Debris | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Site prep / excavation | Caliche, dirt, rock, brush | 10-yd heavy-only or 30-yd |
| Concrete / masonry | Slab, footings, block, brick | 10-yd concrete-only |
| Framing | Wood offcuts, packaging, OSB | 40-yd |
| Roofing / exterior | Shingles, tile, stucco, siding | 20-ydβ30-yd |
| Interior / finish | Drywall, flooring, trim, cabinetry | 20-yd |

Keep Heavy Loads in Their Own Box
Concrete, block, brick, and caliche are dense β caliche alone runs 2,000β2,800 lbs per cubic yard (USDA NRCS), so a full 40-yard of rubble is impossible to legally haul. Two things follow from that:
- First, dense debris belongs in a 10-yard, which is built to reach a weight limit, not a fill line.
- Second, a clean concrete- or masonry-only load disposes at a lower rate than mixed C&D β so separating the rubble from the wood and drywall usually lowers the total disposal bill, not just the risk of an overweight box.
Jobsite Delivery & Access
Our truck needs about 22 ft of clear length plus overhead clearance to set a 20β40 yard box, and we place it on boards clear of the crew’s work path and any trailer or material staging. You don’t need a spotter on site as long as the drop zone is marked. When a box fills, we swap it for an empty on your call so the crew keeps moving. For a container set in a public right-of-way or lane, the job needs a City permit under Municipal Code Title 14 (Building Safety, (575) 528-3100) β we’ll flag it when you book.
Contractor Billing
The flat rate covers delivery, rental, and pickup. Disposal is separate, at the SCSWA per-ton rate, with a certified scale ticket on every invoice so each haul shows real tonnage and no markup. We can invoice per job or roll multiple active sites into one statement β whichever ties cleanly to your cost codes. Regulated debris is manifested under NMAC 20.9.8 for your project file.
Construction vs. Commercial Accounts
This page is for active build and jobsite debris. If you’re a property manager or business handling tenant turnover, retail cleanouts, or a standing multi-site container program, that’s covered on our commercial dumpster rental page.

Construction Dumpster Rental FAQ
What size dumpster do I need for a construction project in Las Cruces?
Match the box to the build phase, not just the job. Framing and finish debris is bulky but light, so a 40-yard fills by volume; roofing, siding, and interior tear-out fit a 20 or 30. Concrete, block, and caliche are the opposite β dense enough that a 10-yard heavy-only box hits its weight limit before it looks half full. Mixed jobs usually run one large box for light C&D plus a small one for the rubble.
Can I mix concrete, drywall, and wood in one construction dumpster?
You can, but a clean concrete-, block-, or masonry-only load disposes at a lower rate than mixed C&D, so keeping rubble in its own box usually costs less overall. It also keeps a heavy load under the weight allowance. Tell us the material split when you book and we’ll set the right combination of boxes.
Can you deliver and swap dumpsters on an active jobsite?
Yes. The truck needs about 22 ft of clear length plus overhead room, and we set the box on boards clear of the work path. When it fills we swap it for an empty on your call, so the crew never stops to wait on disposal. For a standing account across multiple jobs, ask about our commercial staging setup.
How does billing work for contractors?
A flat rate covers delivery, rental, and pickup; disposal is billed separately at the SCSWA per-ton rate with a certified scale ticket on every invoice β no markup on tonnage. We can bill per job or consolidate multiple sites into one statement, so your accounting ties each haul to the right cost code.
What can’t go in a construction dumpster?
No asbestos, no liquid paint, solvents, or fuels, no pressurized tanks, and no batteries. Asbestos in particular has to be removed by a certified abatement contractor before demolition β it can’t ride in the box. Clean C&D, wood, metal, drywall, roofing, concrete, and masonry are all fine.
