The US generates 773 kg of municipal solid waste (MSW) per person per year. That’s three times the global average - it’s almost as much total waste as India, which has 4.5x our population!
We’re not destined to be buried in a sea of trash though, and there are plenty of things that we can do to reduce and effectively manage the waste we create to create a clean, sustainable future.
That’s where front load dumpsters come in.
Whether you’re a single office or managing an industrial construction site, front load dumpsters are an incredibly effective method for collecting, storing, and quickly disposing of your waste before it becomes a problem. That’s why this post will share all of the expert knowledge from the team here at Trashco Inc. - you’ll learn why you need a front load dumpster, the variations available, and even some useful tips about what types of businesses will need which kind of dumpster.
It’s time to clean up Laredo!
Why you need a front load dumpster

Taking the garbage out to the street for a weekly collection works for the average home, but it simply can’t keep up with the level of waste businesses produce. Garbage piles up outside your business between collections, it’s unsanitary, smells bad, and puts off customers.
That’s not even mentioning city and state regulations on waste management. Waste management tips are great, but you’ll ultimately need a way to deal with the waste you create - no business is 100% sustainable when it comes to waste generation after all.
Front load dumpsters are some of the most popular waste management tools for businesses of all sizes because they solve all of those problems.
Front load dumpsters give you a central, enclosed place to put all of your garbage instead of letting it pile up. Their swinging tops and side doors make them easy to collect, keep critters out, and prevent bad smells from escaping. Everybody wins!
If you need any kind of long-term method for garbage storage and disposal, there are few better options than a front load dumpster. Once delivered, they’ll remain at your site 24/7 until you don’t want them anymore and, being made of steel and heavy-duty plastic, they’re built to withstand the weight of the garbage they contain and the weather they’ll be exposed to.
Here at Trashco Inc., we offer up to 5x weekly collections for our front load dumpster rentals too, so even businesses that create a huge amount of waste won’t have their dumpsters overflowing.

There’s a front load dumpster to fit any and every business! The key is knowing roughly how much waste you produce, how much space you’ve got for the dumpster, and how often you’ll need us to empty your unit.
Quick reminder that if you’re not sure, our friendly representatives are more than happy to speak to you and/or inspect your facility to give you our expert opinion.
We offer four sizes of front load dumpsters:
2 cubic yard
4 cubic yard
8 cubic yard
10 cubic yard
2 yard dumpster
2 yard dumpsters hold up to 400 pounds of garbage, which is equivalent to around 20 bags. This makes them ideal for companies with up to 25 employees - perfect for small commercial businesses that need a consistent waste management method. If you’re a small retail store, restaurant, church, or other place of worship, this could be the perfect option for you to handle all of your garbage needs.
4 yard dumpster
4 yard dumpsters hold up to 800 pounds of garbage, which is equivalent to around 40 bags. Being double the capacity of the 2 yard, they’re ideal for companies with up to 50 employees. This makes them a great option for small-to-medium-sized businesses such as larger retail stores, food courts, schools and small universities, and some entertainment facilities such as larger movie theaters.
8 yard dumpster
8 yard dumpsters are where we start to get into the big leagues. These hold up to 1,800 pounds of garbage, which is around 80 bags. They’re ideal for companies with up to 250 employees.
This is where collection frequency starts to become much more dependent on the size and purpose of your business. An office building with up to 250 employees may only need their 8 yard dumpster emptying once a week, but a sports stadium may have fewer employees but will generate much more trash due to the public visitors. Again, if you’re unsure which size container you need or how often you should have collections, give our team a call and we’ll happily give our expert opinion.
10 yard dumpster
The largest front load dumpster we offer is the 10 yard unit. This holds up to 2,400 pounds of garbage, or around 100 bags, which makes it ideal for even the largest commercial or enterprise needs. We recommend this size for any business with over 250 employees, and those that generate a large amount of trash.
Whether you’re looking for a large-scale solution to managing the waste generated by your retail complex or a construction project, if bulk capacity is needed, then the 10 yard dumpster is the perfect solution.
