Just my reaction based on some product managers I've worked with.
If the OP had just said "Nice theory, prove it" problem would solve itself.

But is the dumpster rated for that much weight?
How many ranges fit in the dumpster?

Is dispatch is casually forgetting to schedule your dump and return yet?

I believe compliance is up to the tried of fact.
Some thoughts. I think you could embarrass and discredit this expert.
Did he calculate the actual increase in volume from dumpsters in use? If no why not?
What is the proportional value of these increases? He will likely say he didn’t calculate that but even a litigator could handle that math [emoji6]. If it comes out to $1.50 and the dumpster costs $80 to empty his analysis seems to prove your point.
Hail Mary; measuring deformation with the live load of a person is not accepted science. He could have easily added force. File a Motion In Limine to exclude this portion of his testimony (and maybe the whole thing). I don’t think that test would stand up to the Daubert challenge if that was really part of his test.
From experience, a loader operator is completely capable of both expanding and reducing the volume of a dumpster within the same minute.
Would your lawsuit completely go away if the disposal company called the dumpster sizes tall, grande, and venti?
Protip: you can get a lot more in a dumpster if you set fire to the contents daily. Just like this thread.
Wait, how can we trust this guy^^^ He's clearly not DJSapp
Also, when can we start a class action about 2x4's not being 2"x4"?

I'm gonna start suing ski companies for skis measuring short.
If there's standardized ways to measure garbage, there should be a standardized way to measure skis.
I have a few six yarders. Stupid angled top prevents maximum utility. Of course their argument is the front would be too high for midgets to access it. But ok. They could have made it flat and deeper. It’s a mafia conspiracy.
PS. We don’t need no stinking archimedes. It’s a simple geometric shape. If you can’t compute volume with a tape measure you have no right to complain.
PPS. I once filled a six yard with five hundred pounds of broken glass. They were not happy. Almost broke the machine.

But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason
Pretty much all of californiagrown’s first 5 posts are spot on. Didn’t read past that

shit gets complicated when the sides are not perfectly square... which they wont be. And apparently we are now also considering every dent and deflection. Godspeed using a tape to precisely measure that volume- seems like a prank you might play on a CM intern in the field on their first day.
Really it comes down to tolerance, and what is considered in compliance. If the 3yard dumpster actually measures 2.92 yards, is that in compliance? If the company gives you a "3CY Dumpster" that only holds 2.84cy of water, but you can actually fit 3.5cy of crap piled above the rim, and they accept 1cy of overfill at no extra cost... are they shorting the customer, or are they giving the customer a good deal?
You said that the company allows customers to overfill by 1CY before fining/charging/refusing pickup.
Doesnt this mean that even if they provided a 2.5cy dumpster, they were actually providing 3.5cy of storage... and were therefore providing service in excess of what was advertised? Why not?
