When it comes to managing waste on a project site, choosing the right dumpster size is key to staying on budget, on schedule, and stress-free. For many medium-sized jobs, the 20-yard dumpster hits the sweet spot — big enough to handle serious debris yet compact enough to fit comfortably in most driveways or construction zones.
If you're tackling a bathroom remodel, kitchen upgrade, or even replacing flooring throughout your home, a 20-yard dumpster offers just the right amount of space. It typically holds about 6 pickup truck loads of debris, making it ideal for disposing of:
• Drywall, tiles, and cabinetry
• Old flooring or carpet
• Fixtures and small appliances
The 20-yard size is also low-profile, which means it’s easy to load from the sides and won’t overwhelm your property visually.
Roof replacements generate a surprising amount of waste — especially with multi-layer tear-offs. A 20-yard dumpster is commonly used by roofing contractors to handle:
• Asphalt shingles (up to 3,000–4,000 sq. ft.)
• Wood sheathing
• Underlayment and nails
It’s a go-to size for residential roofing jobs because it provides ample space without being oversized for smaller driveways or tight worksites.
Whether you're clearing out tree limbs, digging up sod, or removing shrubs, a 20-yard dumpster can handle most landscaping debris without requiring multiple hauls. It’s a smart option for:
• Spring/fall yard cleanups
• Storm debris removal
• Small-scale land clearing
Just keep in mind that dirt, rock, and concrete may have weight limits — always check with your dumpster provider.
Estate cleanouts, moving prep, or clearing out a garage? A 20-yard dumpster is often the perfect fit. It can hold large furniture pieces, boxes, and general household junk while still being easy to place on residential properties.
• Versatile: Fits a wide range of residential and light commercial projects
