40 yard questions
Things people ask about this size.
Will a 40 yard fit in my driveway? +
Yes — it needs about 22 feet of straight clearance and 8 feet of width. Most Kansas City driveways take it comfortably. We do a sight-check before delivery.
How much does a 40 yard cost? +
Most 40 yards run $545–$645 flat-rate in Kansas City, including one week and disposal up to 6 tons. See pricing in Missouri.
Can I load it above the rim? +
No — Missouri DOT prohibits loading above the rim. The walls are the line. If you're over, we have to leave material behind.
How long can I keep the 40 yard? +
Standard rental is one week. Extensions are $12/day. Need it picked up sooner? Just call — we can pull it whenever you're done.
