20-Yard Dumpster Rental FAQs

The 20-yard dumpster is one of the most popular rental options we have available, and for good reason. This bin offers substantial waste capacity and versatile sizing options, making it ideal for a number of projects and needs. It’s used by businesses—including landscaping companies, home improvement contractors, roofers, and construction companies—as well as homeowners, depending on the project.

Let’s take a look at what a 20-yard container can do and whether or not it’s a good pick for your needs!

What’s the Capacity of a 20-Yard Dumpster?

First of all: how big is a 20-yard dumpster, really? True to its name, this bin can typically hold approximately 20 cubic yards of material. Bin sizing will vary—for example, our Suburban containers have slightly different dimensions to fit residential driveways more easily. But generally speaking, the dimensions of these types of bins are about 22’ in length, 8’ in width, and 5’ in height.

If that doesn’t give you a good idea of how much each bin carries, it might help to think in terms of trash bags. Most 20-yard dumpster rentals can carry up to 130 trash bags’ worth of waste or 6 pickup truck loads of material.

Not sure if that’s too much or too little for your project? Let’s discuss these bins, when they’re used, and more.
