Dumpster Sizes: Which Roll Off Do You Need?
Dump It offers 15, 20, 30, and 40 yard roll off dumpsters. A 15 or 20 yard suits small cleanouts and single room remodels, a 30 yard fits roofing and larger renovations, and a 40 yard handles construction and whole home cleanouts.
What Are the Common Roll Off Dumpster Sizes?
Choosing the right dumpster size saves you money and hassle. Rent too small and you pay for a second haul, too large and you pay for space you do not use. The standard roll off sizes are 15, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards. The number refers to volume: a 15 yard holds about fifteen cubic yards of debris, roughly three to four pickup truck loads, and each size up adds capacity from there.

What Size Dumpster Do I Need for a Roofing Job?
For most residential roofing tear offs, a 30 yard is the standard choice. Shingles are heavy, so we will confirm the weight allowance when you book.
How Much Weight Can a Dumpster Hold?
Each size includes a weight allowance, and heavy materials like concrete, dirt, and roofing count fast. We spell out the included tonnage in your quote so there are no surprises.
