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 Oklahoma City
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 Oklahoma City
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 Oklahoma City offer a lower flat rate for concrete-only loads they can send to a recycler instead of the landfill.
