We offer front load dumpsters in 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 cubic yard capacities; rear load dumpsters in 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 cubic yard capacities; and roll-off containers in 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yard sizes. Don’t see the size you need? We build custom.

Yes — custom sizing is one of our most requested services. If you have an account that needs an odd-sized container, a specific footprint requirement, or a modified lid configuration, call us with your dimensions and we’ll provide a quote. No minimum order required for custom work.

We use 14-gauge domestically sourced steel on container sides and 10-gauge steel on bottom plates. All seams are fully hand-welded by our own certified welders in Pequot Lakes, MN. We do not use automated seam welding. This results in full-penetration welds that handle the repeated stress of daily fork lifts and outdoor use better than seam-welded alternatives.

Our front load containers feature reinforced elongated lift pockets compatible with standard ANSI front load truck fork arm configurations. Our rear load containers use 1-1/4″ solid trunnion bars (78″ long) compatible with standard rear load packer bodies. If you’re unsure about compatibility with your specific truck make and model, call us — we’re happy to confirm before you order.

Yes. Our primary market is northern and central Minnesota, but we ship to haulers across the upper Midwest and nationwide for larger orders. Contact us for freight quotes. Shipping cost depends on quantity, destination, and whether containers are stackable (which reduces freight cost significantly).

Front load dumpsters are serviced by front load trucks equipped with fork arms that lift the container overhead and dump it into the truck hopper. They’re designed for high-frequency commercial pickup — restaurants, retail, apartments. Rear load dumpsters are smaller and are serviced by rear load packer trucks using a trunnion/lift bar system. They’re better for residential routes and locations with limited truck access. The type you need is determined by the truck fleet you’re already running.

Yes. All containers are primed inside and out, then painted to your color specification. We can match existing fleet colors or apply new color schemes. Custom decals including your company name, logo, route numbers, or contact information are also available — all done in-house at our Pequot Lakes facility.

Yes. We stock replacement lids, hinges, and caster wheel assemblies for our containers. Contact us at (218) 820-0024 or info@sibleymfg.com for parts availability and pricing.
