Dumpster Lids

What this page covers

PRT is the largest manufacturer of replacement dumpster lids in the US, with cuttable and made-to-fit options for nearly every commercial waste container in service today. This page is the entry point to every lid we stock — from our S-series for front-load and rear-load dumpsters, to side-door and double-wall lids for heavy snow fall and tough weather conditions, to universal cuttable lids for odd ball can sizes when the original container is no longer in production.

Lid failure is the most common reason commercial dumpsters get pulled from service. UV exposure, repeated force from collection-truck forks, and freeze-thaw cycles crack and warp lids faster than any other component. A failed lid means stormwater and environmental violations, OSHA-relevant pinch hazards, and pest complaints from the property owner.

How to choose

Identify the lid by three things: the dumpster type (front-load, rear-load, recycling, roll-off), the container manufacturer, and the size (2, 4, 6, or 8 yard). With those three details, PRT can match the right lid — or recommend a universal cuttable lid that fits. If the container has no data plate or the model is discontinued, send PRT a photo of the existing lid with a tape measure laid across it. To find the correct lid, we ask to measure from the center of the hinge line to the front of the can. We identify most lids on first look.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between an S-series and Double wall dumpster lid?

S-series lids are PRT's standard-profile design used on most front-load and rear-load dumpsters. Double wall lids are a heavier-duty profile built for strength and harsher service conditions. Both are made from UV-stabilized HDPE and HMPE.

Can I get a replacement lid for an older or discontinued dumpster?

Yes. PRT's Universal Cuttable Lids are designed to fit nearly any container — you cut the lid to size in the field. Provide the container's outer dimensions and we'll ship a lid that can be trimmed to fit.

Are PRT dumpster lids compatible with Wastequip containers?

Yes. PRT manufactures replacement lids that fit Wastequip, and any other OEM container. Provide the container size and we will work with you to find the correct size lids before you order.

How fast does PRT ship dumpster lids?

Standard lid sizes ship within 24 hours of the order placed from one of our warehouse across the country, Schaumburg, IL. Jasper, AL. or Las Vegas, NV. Non-standard lids typically ship within 3-5 business days.
