Is a 20-Yard Dumpster Right for Your Project?

If you need one dumpster that can handle a large cleanup without upgrading to a bigger container, the 20-Yard dumpster is the best option.

  • Whole home cleanouts — Furniture, boxes, household junk — Handles bulky items and high volume
  • Multi room renovations — Drywall, wood, cabinets, flooring — Plenty of space for mixed debris
  • Roofing projects — Shingles and underlayment — Strong capacity and weight allowance
  • Large landscaping jobs — Branches, shrubs, yard waste — Efficient loading and disposal
  • Light demolition — Doors, framing, materials — Works well for mixed construction debris

If your project includes mostly heavy materials like concrete or dirt, a 10-Yard dumpster may be a better fit. For very large or bulky projects, consider a 30 yard dumpster.
