Which dumpster size do you actually need?
Quick answer
We offer 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40-yard roll-off dumpsters — there is no 25-yard size. Smaller bins suit single rooms and heavy debris, while 30s and 40s suit full renovations and demo. Not sure which fits? Call or text 619-629-4751 and describe the project.

Sizes at a glance
Each size trades footprint for capacity. The two biggest mistakes people make are under-sizing a light-debris job (extra swap fees) and putting heavy material like concrete or dirt into anything but a 10-yard bin.
| Size | Dimensions (L × W × H) | Typical use | Pickup-truck loads |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | 14 ft × 8 ft × 2 ft | Heavy debris, small cleanouts, single-room jobs | ~3 |
| 15 yard | 14 ft × 8 ft × 4 ft | Garage/attic cleanouts, small remodels | ~4 |
| 20 yard | 20 ft × 8 ft × 4 ft | Mid-size remodels, flooring tear-outs | ~6 |
| 30 yard | 22 ft × 8 ft × 6 ft | Whole-home renovations, new construction | ~9 |
| 40 yard | 22 ft × 8 ft × 8 ft | Major demo, large commercial jobs | ~12 |
Every bin is 8 ft wide, so driveway width is rarely the limiting factor — length and overhead clearance usually are.

Why there's no 25-yard dumpster
Some companies advertise a 25-yard size, but it isn't part of our lineup and isn't standard in the roll-off industry generally. Our sizing steps from 20 straight to 30 yards, which covers the gap without adding a bin most customers wouldn't need. If a project seems to fall between the two, we'll help you decide which way to round.
Heavy materials need a dedicated bin
Concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt are dense enough that a full-size 20, 30, or 40-yard bin loaded with them would exceed legal road weight. That's why heavy material goes in a dedicated 10-yard heavy-debris bin instead, priced by weight rather than volume.
- 10-yard heavy bin flat rate starts at $699 for 1 ton
- Low walls make wheelbarrow loading easier
- Mixed heavy loads (concrete plus trash) may be billed differently — ask when you book
How to decide between two sizes
If you're between two sizes, sizing up is usually cheaper than paying for a second delivery and swap. Tell us the square footage, number of rooms, or scope of demo and we'll recommend a size based on similar past jobs — call or text to confirm what's available on your date.
Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest dumpster you offer?
Our largest is a 40-yard roll-off, suited to major demolition and large commercial cleanouts. Call to confirm availability on your date.
Is there a 25-yard dumpster?
No — our sizes are 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 yard. If your job seems to land near 25 yards of volume, we'll help you round up or down.
Can I put concrete in a 20-yard dumpster?
No. Concrete, dirt, brick, and similar heavy material need to go in a dedicated 10-yard heavy-debris bin so the load stays within legal road weight.
What if I guess wrong on size?
Call us — depending on route availability we can often swap for a larger bin or arrange a second pickup.
