Dumpster Size Guide: 10, 20, 30 and 40 Yard

How to choose the right roll-off size for your project. Here is what we explain to customers every day on the phone.

10 yard

About 3 pickup loads. Great for a bathroom remodel, small cleanout or concrete and dirt.

20 yard

About 6 pickup loads. The most popular size for kitchen remodels, roofing and large cleanouts.

30 yard

About 9 pickup loads. Whole-home renovations, new construction and major demolition.

40 yard

About 12 pickup loads. Large commercial projects and big demolition jobs.

Pro tip: When in doubt, size up slightly. A second haul almost always costs more than the difference between two container sizes.
