Concrete is 4,000 lbs per cubic yard — the heaviest common material
A single cubic yard of concrete weighs 2 tons. A standard 10-yard dumpster with a 10-ton weight limit will max out at just 5 cubic yards of concrete. Order a 20 or 30 yard for concrete and you'll hit the weight cap with the bin barely a quarter full — and pay the same price. Stick with a 10-yard.
Recommended size for concrete in Tucson
A 10-yard is the only practical size for concrete-only loads. At 4,000 lbs/yd³, you'll reach 10 tons (the standard weight limit) with just 5 cubic yards. Ordering a larger dumpster wastes money — the weight limit doesn't increase proportionally with the volume.
Concrete weight by volume
| Cubic Yards | Total Weight (lbs) | Total Weight (tons) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 yd³ | 4,000 lbs | 2.0 tons |
| 2 yd³ | 8,000 lbs | 4.0 tons |
| 3 yd³ | 12,000 lbs | 6.0 tons |
| 5 yd³ | 20,000 lbs | 10.0 tons |
Recycling vs landfill for concrete in Tucson
Concrete recycling
$0–$5 per ton— concrete crushers turn old concrete into road base and aggregate. Many facilities accept clean concrete for free or nearly free.
Requirement:Clean concrete only. No rebar, no dirt, no trash, no painted surfaces mixed in. Some facilities accept concrete with rebar but charge $5–$15/ton extra for processing.
Landfill disposal
$50–$80 per ton— standard landfill tipping fees for concrete. A 10-ton load at $65/ton = $650 in disposal fees alone on top of the dumpster rental.
When it happens:Mixed loads (concrete + wood + trash) can't go to a recycler and default to landfill rates. Keep concrete separate to save $500+ on a typical load.
Pro tip:When booking, ask your hauler specifically about “clean concrete recycling rates.” Many haulers in Tucson offer a lower flat rate for concrete-only loads they can send to a recycler instead of the landfill.

Concrete disposal FAQ
What size dumpster do I need for concrete disposal in Tucson?

Concrete weighs approximately 4,000 lbs per cubic yard, so even a 10-yard dumpster will reach the typical 10-ton weight limit with just 5 cubic yards of concrete. Larger dumpsters are not recommended because you'll hit the weight cap long before filling the volume.
Can I recycle concrete instead of sending it to a landfill in Tucson?
Yes. Concrete recycling facilities in the Tucsonarea accept clean concrete (no rebar, dirt, or trash mixed in) and crush it into aggregate for road base and fill. Recycling typically costs $0–$5 per ton compared to $50–$80 per ton at a landfill. Ask your hauler about recycling-rate loads when booking.
How much does concrete disposal cost in Tucson, Arizona?
A 10-yard dumpster for concrete in Tucsontypically costs $300–$550 for a 7-day rental with a 10-ton weight limit.

Many haulers charge a premium for concrete, so always confirm the per-ton rate before booking.
