Weights guidelines

The State of California has Legal Weight Limits for Over the Road Trucks, and Trucks themselves have a practical Weight limit.

Heavy Materials, Rocks, Gravel, Dirt, Concrete, Roofing Materials and similar debris are quite heavy compared to normal Construction and Residential Debris.

These materials can weigh as much as one (1) ton per Cubic Yard. Eight to Ten Yard Boxes are required for these materials. Otherwise your material should not be heavier than 500lbs per Cubic Yard.

If you are not sure about your load we will send one of our staff members to estimate your needs.
