Compare sizes

Most projects in Los Angeles fit one of four roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; you must also consider the space for a container.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Los Angeles concrete driveway, mid-day sunlight, clean and ready for a garage cleanout.

10-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 15 ft long, 8 ft wide, roughly 3.5 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 3 pickup truck loads, 2,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: a single car length, easy placement on tight lots

The 10-yard roll-off handles small jobs in Los Angeles: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the bin on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits a typical household load.

A 10-yard roll-off is for heavy, dense C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full; use this for a single-story roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in a project.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Los Angeles home directly on the asphalt driveway, with framing materials and torn-off shingles staged neatly nearby.

20-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 7 ft wide, roughly 4.5 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 6 pickup truck loads, 4,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: two car lengths, still comfortable on most residential drives

A 20-yard dumpster is a good fit for several projects in the Los Angeles metro: whole-house decluttering, flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. The 22-foot length fits on residential drives; the 4,000-pound rating handles your shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: it clears whole-house clutter, small roof tear-offs, and week-long demo debris in one trip. A single swap out covers week-two finish work without extra runs.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Los Angeles residential addition jobsite, with framing lumber and drywall scraps loaded through the open swinging rear doors.

30-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 7 ft wide, roughly 6 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 9 pickup truck loads, 6,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: two car lengths plus extra height — confirm overhead clearance

The 30-yard dumpster is built for major projects in Los Angeles: home additions, full-house remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for multi-week jobs; the tall walls provide the volume you need.

A 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen remodels and weeklong job-site piles across Los Angeles.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Los Angeles commercial construction lot, with a hooklift delivery truck parked alongside under bright midday sky.

40-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 8 ft wide, roughly 8 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 12 pickup truck loads, 8,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: this large bin is for commercial sites and often exceeds residential driveway clearance

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Los Angeles metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris without needing a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off is built for large construction projects and major commercial site cleanouts: crews often order a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for all waste hauling in Los Angeles. These containers feature short walls for easy loading with a skid-steer.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects the surface of your driveway from damage. If the job mixes demolition concrete with a home tear-out — we pair the lowboy with a standard residential roll-off container.

Choosing the Right Roll-off Size for Your Project

Which size fits your project? Picking the right container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where the roll-off sits in Los Angeles. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; only large demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry and C&D debris hit the Tonnage limit of a container before filling the volume: heavy materials require a smaller box; light household items fill space before reaching the weight capacity of the bin.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; a 30-yard container requires overhead clearance for the truck mast: a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo of your space to our dispatcher for confirmation.
