Compare sizes

Most projects in the Austin area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room available for a container.

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

The 10-yard roll-off is sized for small jobs in Austin: garage cleanouts, attic clear-outs, or a single-room remodel. We set the bin on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit handles typical household debris.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for dense C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full; this works 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 Austin 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 many projects in the Austin metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits on your residential driveway; the 4,000-pound rating handles a load of shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container fits mid-size jobs like whole-house clean-outs or roof tear-offs in one haul. For week-long demo crews, a single swap-out keeps the site clean and moving.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Austin 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

The 30-yard dumpster handles large estate cleanouts in Austin: framing crews use the tall walls for volume. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for home additions; the 6,000-pound capacity covers your mixed construction debris.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong jobsite output across Austin.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Austin 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 handles new construction and commercial debris across the Austin area: we drop it with a hooklift truck—and the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed loads to keep the job site clean without extra pulls.

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

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—because these dense materials fill a roll-off faster than roofing tear-off square sizing suggests. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when clearing sites in Austin so your project remains compliant with local operations.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this prevents damage to your concrete. 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 container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight of the load, and where the roll-off sits on your property; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most in Austin; a 30-yard is for remodels; and 40-yard jobsite construction debris containers are for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense masonry hits the allowed tonnage of a container quickly; lighter C&D debris fills the box volume before you reach the cap: choose your size based on which limit you will hit first.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

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