How Big Is a 20 Yard Dumpster?
The usual dimensions of a 20 yard dumpster are 14 feet long, 8 feet wide and 6.5 feet high. While the dimensions may vary, every 20 yard dumpster has the same volume. Our driver needs 60 feet of space and 23 to 25 feet of vertical clearance to drop off your container, so avoid areas with low-hanging branches or wires.
You can keep your roll off container on a flat, paved surface close to your workspace, like your driveway, jobsite or street. If you need to keep your dumpster rental in the street, check with your local municipality to see if you need a permit ahead of time.
Will My Dumpster Have a Weight Limit?
Yes, all our roll off dumpsters have a weight limit included in your rate. A 20 yard bin has an average weight limit of 2 to 3 tons, or 4,000 to 6,000 pounds — that’s about the weight of 48 to 72 bundles of roofing shingles. For additional reference, a typical kitchen sink weighs between 50 and 100 pounds, so keep in mind the weight of your debris adds up quickly. The maximum weight a 20 yard container can safely hold is 6 tons.
How Much Can a 20 Yard Dumpster Hold?
A 20 yard roll off dumpster can hold 20 cubic yards of debris, which is about 110 to 130 large 33-gallon trash bags or three to four pickup truckloads. This makes the 20 yard container a great waste removal option for small home projects, like a bathroom remodel, or light demolition, like tearing up a sidewalk.
