Is a 20 yard dumpster the right box?

The 20 yard is the one we'd call the default. The 20 yard dumpster dimensions are 18 feet by 8 feet by 4 feet 7 inches, so this 20 yard roll off dumpster is longer than the 15 yard, with taller walls, and it carries 2 tons. Marcus rents more of these than the other two sizes put together in spring, mostly to roofers and people with a kitchen torn apart.

Jobs that fit a 20 yard

  • A full kitchen: cabinets, counters, flooring and a wall of drywall
  • A one-layer roof on an average house, up to about 24 squares
  • Whole-house carpet or flooring replacement
  • A big deck, or about 250 feet of wood fence
  • A three-bedroom move-out or an estate cleanout

20 yard dumpster cost in Fayetteville

The 20 yard is $495 for 7 days with delivery, pickup, disposal and 2 tons. Each extra day is $10 and each extra ton is $65. A typical kitchen weighs about 1.6 tons, so it stays under the allowance and you pay the flat price.

The weight maths on a roof

Shingles weigh 180 to 250 pounds a square for 3-tab and 210 to 430 for architectural. A 24-square roof of the thicker kind comes to about 3.2 tons. That's 1.2 tons over, or $78, which is far cheaper than a bigger box. GAF's own guide says a 20 yard suits about a 2,000 square foot shingle roof.

Does a 20 yard fit a Fayetteville driveway?

The box is 18 feet long and 8 feet wide. A standard two-car driveway has room, with the truck backing in from the street along about 60 feet. Photograph the spot, and we'll tell you before the truck rolls.

We've found that the 20 yard fits about 7 out of 10 of the jobs we book in spring. Our rule is to say the weight out loud before delivery: kitchens come in at 1.6 tons, roofs at 3 or so, and that one number saves most of the surprise calls.

Before you book

20 yard rental questions we hear most.

Can I put a roof in a 20 yard?

Yes, up to roughly 24 squares of one layer, with a little overage at $65 a ton. Two layers will push you to a 30 yard or a swap-out.

How heavy can a 20 yard get?

The truck hauls much more than the 2 tons included, but anything past that is billed by the ton. Tile, wet drywall and shingles add up fast, so ask us before a roof job.

Is the 20 yard better than two 15 yards?

Almost always. One 20 yard costs $495 and includes 2 tons, while two 15 yards cost $790 and need two deliveries and two pickups. Only choose two small boxes if your driveway can't take the longer one.

Why the 20 yard works

Enough room to move the job. Not enough to waste money.

The 20 yard bridges the gap between a cleanout box and a full-gut 30, with the same driveway-friendly width.

What stays out

Most junk goes in the box. Some things never do.

Do not load

  • Tires of any kind
  • Asbestos, chemicals, pesticides and anything unknown
  • Liquids, oil, fuel and flammables
  • Wet paint
  • Electronics and all batteries
  • Propane tanks, fireworks, firearms and ammunition
  • Fluorescent bulbs
  • Concrete, brick, asphalt, dirt, sand and gravel

Ask before you load

Fridges, freezers and AC units hold refrigerant, so call first. Branches and leaves are welcome, but load them apart from household junk, because a mixed load can bring a fine. If you're unsure about an item, ask before it goes in.

How to rent a 20 yard dumpster

Three steps. No dumpster circus.

  1. 01

    Pick the day

    Match it to demo day. Call in the morning and same day delivery is often open.

  2. 02

    Mark the spot

    Plan 18 feet for the box, about 60 feet of approach and clear air overhead.

  3. 03

    Load it level

    Keep debris at the top rail, tarp anything that can blow, then call for pickup.

Compare dumpster sizes

The 20 yard is the middle. That doesn't make it the answer every time.

Heavy loads and gut jobs lean to the 30 yard, and one garage leans to the 15.
