Is a 20-Yard Dumpster Right for Your Project?
If you need one container that can comfortably handle a real cleanup without overspending, the 20-yard is your workhorse.
| Project Type | Common Debris | Why a 20-Yard Works |
|---|---|---|
| Whole-Home Cleanouts | Furniture, boxes, mixed junk | Fits bulky items while still holding multiple trash bags efficiently |
| Multi-Room Renovations | Drywall, cabinets, flooring | Plenty of volume with easy-to-load side walls |
| Roofing (Up to ~50 Squares) | Shingles, felt, underlayment | Balanced capacity and weight limit for roofing materials |
| Large Landscaping Projects | Branches, shrubs, mixed green waste | Comfortable loading height for large yard debris |
| Light Demolition | Doors, windows, framing lumber | Strong choice for mixed construction and demolition debris |
Handling mostly heavy debris? If 50%+ of the load is tile, plaster, concrete, or dirt, the 10-yard may be better for weight management.
Big and bulky materials? Consider stepping up to the 30-yard.

How Much Weight Can a 20-Yard Hold?
The typical weight allowance is 3–4 tons, but depending on material density, you may reach that limit before the dumpster looks full.
Tips to avoid overweight fees:
- Plan by weight, not just space
- Tile, shingles, plaster, and wet green waste add weight fast
- Load debris evenly front-to-back and side-to-side
- Keep materials below the top rail for safe tarping
- For concrete, soil, or brick: use a 10-yard or split loads
We’ll help estimate weight from roofing squares, flooring square footage, and debris type during your quote.
