Weight Capacity Guidelines for Heavy CD Debris
🧱 Concrete Masonry
10-yard max for pure concrete loads. Mixed with lighter materials OK in larger containers. Brick and stone debris follows same weight limits.
🪵 Wood Lumber
Framing lumber, flooring, and clean wood fills containers efficiently. Pressure-treated lumber accepted. No painted wood from pre-1978 structures.
🏠 Drywall Plaster
Boston's older buildings often have heavy plaster walls. Estimate 2x weight of modern drywall. Lath and plaster combo increases tonnage.
🏗️ Mixed Load Strategy
Layer heavy materials (concrete, tile) on bottom, lighter debris on top. Maximizes container usage while staying within weight limits.
