Most projects in the Denver metro fit one of four roll-off sizes: the right container choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and room on the driveway.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Denver 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 bin handles the usual household jobs: a garage cleanout, a single-room remodel, or clearing attic clutter in Denver. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your apron, and the 2,000-pound weight limit covers typical residential debris.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for 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.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Denver 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 Denver metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits on your residential driveway; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles with framing scrap.

A 20-yard container takes the mid-size project in stride: it hauls whole-house decluttering or a mid-size roof tear-off in one load, and one swap out keeps a demo and finish crew moving on schedule.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Denver 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 handles large projects in Denver: home additions, full remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your job; the high walls provide volume for mixed construction debris on site.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong jobsite cleanup across Denver.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Denver 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: best for commercial sites but typically too tall for standard residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition across the Denver metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—it covers the 8,000-pound rating for bulky mixed debris to keep your site clear without a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off serves as our largest container for new construction and major commercial projects: crews match it with a smaller bin when site clearing runs in parallel with the build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds due to density—rather than standard bins used for roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when hauling this debris in Denver. These short-walled containers allow for easy loading with a skid-steer.

We set the lowboy on driveway boards to protect your concrete before we drop the container. If your 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? Choosing the right container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight of the load, and where we set the roll-off in Denver; 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

Dense materials like concrete hit the Tonnage limit before filling the container: use a smaller box for heavy C&D debris; light household items fill volume first, so choose a larger bin for them.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Placement depends on container size. A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits most residential drives, while a 30-yard requires overhead clearance. A 40-yard is for commercial lots. Send a photo to our dispatcher in Denver to confirm fit.
