Racine, WI guide
Sturtevant has gone by three different names in its history — and today it's home to a real, working logistics and manufacturing base. Here's a commercial dumpster guide for the district.
Sturtevant's history is a genuine local curiosity: it was originally platted as Parkersville, later known as Western Union Junction, then renamed Corliss after the Brown Corliss Engine Company, before finally becoming Sturtevant in 1923, named for the B.F. Sturtevant Company after it established operations there. That industrial naming history isn't incidental — Sturtevant has been a manufacturing and logistics location for essentially its entire existence.
Sturtevant is home today to a logistics and delivery presence for Amazon, along with established local manufacturers Andis Company — a nationally known maker of hair clippers — and Ruud Lighting/CREE. That mix of logistics and manufacturing gives the village a genuinely commercial, industrial character distinct from the more residential villages elsewhere in Racine County, and it drives real, ongoing demand for commercial dumpster service — warehouse and facility cleanouts, ongoing waste management for manufacturing operations, and construction debris from facility expansions.
Facilities in a logistics and manufacturing district generate a debris profile different from residential work: packaging and pallet material in high volume, facility renovation and equipment-swap debris, and construction debris from warehouse or manufacturing-space expansions. A single facility can generate that kind of debris on a recurring basis rather than as a one-time cleanout, which is where scheduled service tends to make more sense than a single rental.
For a business generating waste on an ongoing basis — a warehouse, distribution facility or manufacturing operation — a scheduled dumpster swap-out on a set cadence often fits better than booking fresh each time. For a one-time facility renovation or a single construction project, a standard rental with a defined pickup date makes more sense. Tell us which situation describes your business and we'll set up the right arrangement.
A facility cleanout or equipment-swap project often fits a 20 or 30 yard. A larger warehouse or manufacturing-space construction or renovation project more often calls for a 40 yard, our largest size, built for commercial and industrial jobs.
| Size | Dimensions | Capacity | Weight included | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard Dumpster | 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 3.5 ft high | 50–70 bags | 1–2 tons | Small cleanouts, roofing shingles, tight driveways. |
| 15 Yard Dumpster | 16 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high | 80–100 bags | 2–3 tons | Flooring, bathroom or kitchen updates, multi-room cleanouts. |
| 20 Yard Dumpster | 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high | 110–130 bags | 3–4 tons | Medium remodels, roofing jobs, light construction. |
| 30 Yard Dumpster | 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 6 ft high | 170–190 bags | 4–5 tons | Whole-home projects, office cleanouts. |
| 40 Yard Dumpster | 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 8 ft high | 230–250 bags | 5–6 tons | Large builds, commercial or industrial jobs. |
