Capacity in real terms
How much actually fits
| What you're loading | How it fits in a 20 yard dumpster |
|---|---|
| A 3-bedroom home's furniture and boxes | A comfortable, typical fit |
| A kitchen remodel's cabinets and debris | Fits well within weight allowance |
| A standard roof tear-off (up to ~20 squares) | Fits, mind the weight if heavily layered |
| 6-8 pickup truck loads | The standard comparison |
Why it's the most popular size
The 20 yard sits at the point where most standard residential jobs comfortably fit without excess space going unused. Its rail height is also low enough that you can throw items over the side rather than walking everything through the house.
Kitchen and bathroom remodels
Cabinets, countertops, flooring and drywall from a kitchen or full bathroom remodel typically fit well within a 20 yard's capacity and weight allowance.
Roofing and storm-damage cleanup
A standard roof tear-off, including one following a tropical storm or a summer wind event, is a common 20 yard job — though a heavily loaded shingle tear-off can approach the weight allowance, so tell us the roof size when you call.
