Dumpster Size Guide: 10, 20, 30 & 40 Yard Containers

Choosing the right size saves money. Here is what each container actually holds.

10 yard

Roughly 12 ft long and 3.5 ft tall, a 10 yard holds about four pickup-truck loads. Use it for a bathroom remodel, a small roof or a single-room cleanout.

20 yard

The most popular size. About 22 ft long and 4.5 ft tall, it handles a mid-size kitchen remodel, a 2,000 sq ft carpet removal or a full garage purge.

30 yard

At roughly 6 ft tall, a 30 yard is built for whole-home cleanouts, additions and new construction phases.

40 yard

The largest common size suits commercial projects, major demolition and large-scale cleanouts. It holds bulky, lighter debris best.

When in doubt

Size up. A second haul almost always costs more than the step up to the next container size.
