20 Cubic Yards
Is the 20 Yard Dumpster Right for Your Project?
If we had to recommend a single dumpster for the widest range of projects, it would be the 20 yard — and the numbers back that up. It's the container Stockbridge homeowners and contractors request more than any other, because it hits the exact spot where capacity, price, and footprint all line up.
At roughly 22 feet long and four and a half feet tall, the 20 yard holds about six pickup-truck loads — plenty for a whole-home cleanout, a full roof tear-off, a large room remodel, or a serious decluttering before a move. Yet it still fits on a typical residential driveway and loads easily thanks to its manageable height. You get big-project capacity without big-project awkwardness.
It's also the most forgiving size to guess with. If you're genuinely unsure how much debris you'll produce, the 20 yard is the safe bet: large enough that most projects finish in one container, without the wasted space (and cost) of jumping straight to a 30 or 40.

- Wood, drywall & siding

Sizing Up or Down
How the 20 Yard Compares
Dropping to a 15 yard can save a little for mid-size jobs, but for anything approaching a full-home scale, the 20's extra room is usually worth it.
For large renovations, new construction, or high-volume commercial cleanouts, step up to the 30 or 40 yard. They share the 20's footprint but stand taller, giving you far more volume for lightweight, bulky debris without taking up more ground space.
FAQs
20 Yard Dumpster — FAQs
Why is the 20 yard the most popular dumpster size?
It balances everything: enough capacity for whole-home cleanouts, roofing, and remodels, a price most budgets handle, and a footprint that fits standard driveways. For most projects, it's simply the right-sized default.
Is a 20 yard big enough for a roof replacement?
For most residential re-roofs, yes. Shingles are heavy, so we'll confirm the roof's size and layers to ensure you stay within the weight allowance, but the 20 yard is the go-to roofing container.
