20 Yard Dimensions
Six feet tall and 14 ft long, the largest we run. It still fits a standard two car driveway, but measure the gate or any overhang on the way in rather than finding out on the day.
What Fits In A 20 Yard
A 20 yard holds about 8 pickup truck loads, based on a standard 2.5 cubic yard bed. That is the honest way to picture it, because a raw cubic yard figure means very little until you have stood next to one.
- A single layer roof tear off on a typical house

20 Yard Pricing
A typical 20 yard job comes to about $421.
That is the number most people want first, so here is where it comes from rather than an assertion you have to take on trust:
Delivery is $200 and covers 1 day. Weight is then $140 per ton, charged from a certified scale ticket that is attached to your invoice. no tonnage included and none wasted, so a light load genuinely costs less than a heavy one. Extra days are $5.
Our own average 20 yard load is 1.58 tons, about 3,160 pounds, which is where the figure above comes from. Full breakdown on the cost page.

20 Yard Questions
How big is a 20 yard dumpster?
A 20 yard holds 20 cubic yards, which works out at about 8 pickup truck loads, based on a standard 2.5 cubic yard bed. Outside dimensions differ between cans, so rather than publish a figure that might not match the container we send, we confirm the footprint for your specific delivery before it goes out.
It still fits most residential driveways. If access is narrow or the drive is on a slope, mention it at the booking stage.
How many tons is a 20 yard dumpster?
no tonnage included and none wasted. Every ton is billed at $140 from the certified scale ticket attached to your invoice. Our own average 20 yard load is 1.58 tons, about 3,160 pounds, which is what a mixed clearout tends to weigh.
⚠️ A roof is the exception and it is not close. A single layer tear off runs 2 to 4 tons for a single layer on a typical 2,000 sq ft roof, several times that fleet average, so plan from the roof figure rather than the average.
