Sizing + how-to

Field editor · Bend, OR · joined March 2026
Devon is the field editor — the one we send to walk job sites, measure containers with a real tape, and ask haulers blunt questions about what fits.
Before DumpstersOnDemand.com he ran a 9-truck residential remodel crew in Central Oregon for seven years. So when he says 'a 20-yard is the safest default for kitchen + bath combos,' it's because he's filled (and overfilled) hundreds of them.
Devon writes the sizing guides, the project use-cases, and most of the practical 'when this happens, do that' advice on city pages.
