The 20 yard is the size we deliver most often, and for good reason: it's large enough to handle a full kitchen-and-bath remodel, a standard construction job, or a whole-home decluttering project, without being oversized for a typical residential driveway. It shares the same footprint as our 30 and 40 yard containers — the difference among those three is height and capacity, not the space it takes up on your property.
Given Broward County's CBS construction standard, a lot of our 20 yard bookings are renovation jobs generating tile, block, stucco and drywall together. That mixed density is exactly what the 20 yard is built for — enough weight allowance to handle a real remodel's worth of dense material without hitting the ceiling early.
Right job, right box
What this size is built for
Ideal projects
- Full kitchen and bathroom remodel debris
- Standard residential roofing tear-off
- Whole-home decluttering before a sale or move
- Typical construction or renovation job sites
- Multi-room flooring removal
- Mid-size commercial renovation or buildout
- Standard post-storm property cleanup
- New construction framing and packaging debris
Pick a different size if…
- Small single-room jobs — a 10 or 15 yard is more cost-effective
- Very large estate cleanouts or full-property clearances
- Major new-construction sites generating high debris volume
- Large commercial demolition projects
- Jobs with severe space constraints better suited to a 10 yard
Not sure? Call (754) 354-3921 and describe what you are looking at. We would rather sell you a smaller container than have you pay for space you do not use.
Capacity in real terms
How much actually fits
| What you're loading | How it fits in a 20 yard dumpster |
|---|---|
| A full kitchen remodel — cabinetry, countertops, flooring | Fits comfortably in most standard kitchens |
| A standard single-family home's roof tear-off | Fits for most typical roof sizes — confirm square footage with us |
| Furniture and belongings from a full-house declutter | Fits well for an average-size home |
| Mixed framing and drywall from a room addition | Fits comfortably |
| Flooring removal across the whole main level | Typically fits, depending on material |
| A pickup truck load of debris, repeated | Roughly 6-8 loads' worth of capacity |
Why it's our most popular size
Most residential and light commercial projects land right in the 20 yard's sweet spot — big enough to avoid running out of room mid-project, without the extra height of a 30 or 40 that a smaller job doesn't need. When customers describe a typical remodel, addition, or standard job-site cleanup, the 20 yard is usually where we land.
Standard construction and roofing jobs
A typical residential roof tear-off, a full bathroom-and-kitchen remodel, or standard job-site debris on a mid-size renovation all fit well in a 20 yard. See our roofing tear-off sizing guide for how roof square footage maps to container size.
Whole-home decluttering and cleanouts
For a full-house declutter ahead of a move or sale — furniture, closets, garage, general accumulated stuff — the 20 yard usually covers it in one container. If the property is unusually large or the volume is heavier than typical, we may recommend stepping up to a 30.

Answers
20 Yard Dumpster — frequently asked questions
Why is the 20 yard your most popular size?
It's the sweet spot for most residential remodels and standard construction jobs — enough capacity for a real project without the extra height of a 30 or 40 that most homeowners don't need.
Is a 20 yard big enough for a full kitchen remodel?
For most kitchens, yes. Larger kitchens with extensive cabinetry and appliance replacement may push toward a 30 — describe the scope and we'll confirm.
How does the 20 yard compare in footprint to the 30 and 40?
All three share the same base footprint — the 30 and 40 are simply taller with more capacity. Placement space needed is the same across all three sizes.
Can a 20 yard handle a full residential roof tear-off?
Usually, for a standard-size roof. Larger roofs or multiple layers of shingles may need a 30 — see our roofing sizing guide for specifics.
What's included in the rental period?
Seven days standard, extendable any time you need more, with delivery, pickup and disposal all built into one flat rate.
