How much does a 6-yard dumpster weigh? 1,700 pounds How much does an empty 6-yard dumpster weigh? Our 6-yard containers weigh approximately 1,700 pounds without any waste material in the container. But remember, it doesn't matter how much the empty container weighs, but how much the material inside the container weighs. If you're not sure about the weight limits for a particular container or project, check with the rental company. Ask your rental company about the thickness of the metal, lifting methods and other construction details to get a container that can withstand the weights that you need.
If you have large, dense items, look for a garbage container with a larger weight capacity or a size up to a larger container.
