A 40 yard trash dumpster holds about 40 cubic yards of debris, roughly 10 to 12 pickup truck loads, and you can rent 40 yard dumpster units from West Gulfport Porta Pros for whole-house cleanouts, roof tear-offs and new construction. Daily and monthly bands sit in the dumpster rental cost table below. West Gulfport crews book these for jobs that would fill a smaller box twice over.
A 40-yard dumpster size runs long and tall, built to swallow framing lumber, drywall and roofing debris without a second pull, and knowing 40-yard dumpster dimensions up front helps you plan the drop spot. If you are unsure this is the right box, dumpster sizes and dimensions breaks down how it compares to the 10 yard, 20 yard and 30 yard options side by side. The truck delivering it needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point, so a long driveway or open lot in West Gulfport works better than a tight cul-de-sac. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before you load, because paint, tires and certain electronics get rejected at the landfill and that delay costs you. If your job is a straight demo or new build, pair this with our construction site services page for the rest of what a crew needs on-site.
Pricing for a 40 yard roll-off dumpster rental depends on how long you keep the box and what goes in it. Rates below come from measured local data, not a guess.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Delivery is usually billed separately, and that fee is its own line whether you rent for a day or a month; see dumpster rental cost for how delivery and service fees stack against the box price. If your job runs past the day rate, weigh a weekly term against renting twice, since a longer rental should never cost less than a shorter one. Heavy loads of concrete, dirt or shingles can push past the included weight allowance. Dumpster weight limits explains how overage gets charged so it does not surprise you at pickup.
Maybe, depending on where a roll off dumpster 40 yard sits. If it goes on your own driveway or lot, you likely do not need one. If it has to sit in the street or right of way, that placement needs confirming with the city before delivery, and we have not verified a specific West Gulfport ordinance for this page. Call ahead rather than guess. Our dumpster permit requirements page walks through who to ask and what to have ready. For a renovation instead of a teardown, home renovation porta potty and construction dumpster rental cover the smaller-scale version of this same question.
West Gulfport sits close enough to pull equipment fast from routes near Lyman, 9.2 miles northwest, and Long Beach, 10.6 miles southwest, so same-week delivery is realistic for most addresses here. Crews working sites toward Biloxi, 14.5 miles east, or D'Iberville, 15.2 miles east, still fall inside a normal delivery run. If your project also needs sanitation on-site, look at portable toilet rental or the standard porta potty rental page, since OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet counts for construction crews by headcount, and that requirement runs independent of any dumpster you rent. For crews doing spray work with coatings or herbicides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific exposure, which is where a handwashing station rental fits in.
Most renters keep it for a day, a week or a month, priced separately in the table above. Longer jobs like full builds often run monthly. Ask about swap-outs if you fill the box early. See dumpster rental cost for full duration pricing.
Shingles are heavy, so weight matters more than volume here. A 40-yard box gives room for bulky tear-off debris, but check dumpster weight limits before you load a full roof's worth of shingles into one container.
Most furniture is fine. Certain appliances and hazardous items are not. What cannot go in a dumpster lists the specifics so you are not stuck sorting at the curb after pickup.

If your debris is mostly light cleanout material, a smaller box saves money. How many porta potties do I need covers restroom sizing logic, and dumpster sizes and dimensions does the same comparison for dumpsters.
