Estimating your project size is essential to determine if a 6 yard, 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard or 40 yard rental dumpster will be adequate for your project.

Our goal is to educate you on the dumpster rental questions you should be asking, so you do not rent a dumpster that is too small or large. To small of a dumpster rental will increase your project costs by extending the project time line, and too large of a dumpster will increase unnecessary up-front costs. Proper planning at the beginning of the project will help avoid these hurdles when researching local dumpster rental companies in your area.

A 20 yard roll-off container is most commonly rented because of its versatility and it’s an economical choice for a variety of construction projects. If you have a mid-sized residential or commercial project the 20 yard roll-off dumpster might be the best choice. Our 20 yard dumpster dimensions measure 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4.6 feet high. The low clearance height is great for adding medium to light contents from any side of the dumpster, and a rear hinged door is convenient for the large bulky items.

When researching local dumpster rental companies near you we recommend you have each garbage company estimate the dumpster rental size based on your project scope. In most cases the dumpster rental estimator has worked been involved with 100s of residential and commercial projects and will have a good sense of the appropriate dumpster rental size needed.

Here are project examples for a 20 yard dumpster rental and the most common questions you should consider when renting a roll-off dumpster of any size.

Dumpster Tips

wood dumpster

Wood Under Dumpster

Lay wood or plywood down on your driveway or grass. 3 pieces of 2×6 lumber, or 2 sheets of plywood will work. The wood helps prevent driveway and lawn damage.

level dumpster

Keep it Level

When you load your dumpster keep in mind to load it level full, not over the top. If it’s heavy material make sure the weight is evenly distributed from side to side and front to back, And make sure you load it so material does not fall out.

dumpster weight limit

Tonnage Capacity

Keep in mind that dumpsters have different tonnage capacities and load limits. If you are disposing of especially heavy materials, make sure you let us know and we can advise you on your specific tonnage limitations.

above Dumpster

Around and Above

If you need to open the back door of the dumpster, allow at least 6 feet between buildings and the dumpster. An often-overlooked aspect of dumpster rentals is that the truck needs clearance from trees and wires above the drop off point. Lifting a dumpster takes some considerable height for trucks to deliver and retrieve.

town permits

Keep Town Happy

Contact your town to find out if a permit is required for your dumpster and for other instructions. For example, a dumpster on the street requires approval.
