2 Yard Elevate Series Commercial Dumpster

Fill Height: 36 inch + 6 inch with castors

The 2 yard dumpster is the compact, dependable workhorse of the PLAST-AX front load range, originally introduced in 2017. Built for everyday commercial use, it remains a popular choice for businesses that need a tough container with a small footprint and easy handling in both indoor and outdoor environments.

As a trusted 2 yard front load dumpster manufacturer, PLAST-AX builds containers designed to hold up through regular collection cycles without the typical issues that come with steel. Outdoors, the plastic construction resists rust and weather exposure. Indoors, the smooth surfaces and large rounded corners help reduce accidental damage to walls, equipment, and surrounding infrastructure. Rounded side fork pockets provide a comfortable grip, making it easier to manoeuvre the unit by hand when fitted with castors.

This 2 yard commercial dumpster also stacks four high, supporting efficient storage and transport while saving valuable space in yards or warehouses.

Advantages of the

2 Yard Dumpster

Reduced Long-Term Costs

Over the life of a PLAST-AX container, repair and maintenance expenses decline significantly.

Steel lids often crack and require ongoing replacement
Steel bases tend to rust out after a few years, leading to expensive repairs
PLAST-AX lids flex under load, resist cracking, and stay functional much longer

Time Savings for Operations

Many operations teams report that the constant cycle of lid replacements and rust-related fixes with steel dumpsters is one of their biggest schedule disruptions. PLAST-AX containers help remove those ongoing hassles.

Dumpster Lid Design

Our lids for the 4-yard and 6-yard containers open onto the ribbed back section in a tongue-and-groove style that spreads impact across the whole surface. A recessed lift area in the top rim provides a convenient handhold while keeping structural strength intact.

The lock bar and brackets are hot-dip galvanized for enhanced corrosion protection and can be retrofitted to older containers. They bolt securely into captive female inserts inside the heavy-duty box-section rim, creating a strong and tamper-resistant locking setup built for demanding applications.

5-inch wheel sets include two fixed directional wheels and two swivels with brakes. Wheel configurations include a 2,645 lb rated red polyurethane outer with a cast iron core, or a 1,323 lb blue rubber wheel with a black polyurethane core for lighter containers.
