Most projects in the Washington metro fit one of four roll-off sizes: your choice depends on the volume of debris and the weight of the load; the container must fit on the driveway.

10-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 15 ft long, 8 ft wide, roughly 3.5 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 3 pickup truck loads, 2,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: a single car length, easy placement on tight lots

10-Yard Dumpsters hold 3 truckloads for small cleanouts. 20-Yard Containers fit 6 loads for home renovations. 30-Yard Roll-Offs handle 9 loads for large projects. Call (202) 968-1537 for sizing. See all container sizes.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal for small jobs: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a container before the volume looks full; this works well for a single-story roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Washington home directly on the asphalt driveway, with framing materials and torn-off shingles staged neatly nearby.

20-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 7 ft wide, roughly 4.5 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 6 pickup truck loads, 4,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: two car lengths, still comfortable on most residential drives

A 20-yard dumpster is a good fit for several projects in the Washington metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits most residential driveways; the 4,000-pound rating handles a load of shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container handles whole-house decluttering and mid-size roof tear-offs in one trip, with a single swap-out covering the full week. Need it faster? Same-Day Delivery keeps projects moving without delay.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Washington residential addition jobsite, with framing lumber and drywall scraps loaded through the open swinging rear doors.

30-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 7 ft wide, roughly 6 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 9 pickup truck loads, 6,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: two car lengths plus extra height — confirm overhead clearance

A 30-yard dumpster handles large estate cleanouts in Washington: this container offers high walls for framing debris. The 30-yard pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for full-house remodels; it provides the volume required for your project.

A 30-Yard Roll-Off Container handles a full-kitchen remodel, full-bath expansion, or weeklong Washington job site.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Washington commercial construction lot, with a hooklift delivery truck parked alongside under bright midday sky.

40-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 8 ft wide, roughly 8 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 12 pickup truck loads, 8,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: large bin for commercial sites, generally too tall for typical residential driveways.

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Washington metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating handles your bulky mixed debris—no second trip required.

The 40-yard roll-off is built for new construction and major commercial cleanouts: crews often pair it with a smaller bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy masonry jobs require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—because dense materials like: concrete, brick, asphalt, and soil fill a standard roll-off quickly. This differs from simple roofing tear-off square sizing in Washington. Our team follows EPA construction and demolition material management standards for all site disposal projects.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects the surface of your driveway. If a project mixes demolition concrete with a home tear-out — we pair the lowboy with a standard residential roll-off container.

Choosing the Right Roll-off Size for Your Project

Which size fits your project? Picking the right roll-off depends on three factors: your volume, weight, and placement. A 10-yard or 20-yard container works for most in Washington; a 30-yard is for remodels; only demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like concrete or C&D debris hit the tonnage limit of a container before filling the box: masonry is heavy; household junk fills the volume of the box before the weight adds up.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives: the 30-yard container needs overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo of your space to our dispatcher.
