Roll-Off Container Sizes & Dimensions
Five container sizes cover everything from a single-room cleanout to a full commercial demolition. Every rental includes delivery, pickup, the rental period and the stated disposal allowance.
| Container | Dimensions | Capacity | Included tonnage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard Container | 12 ft L x 8 ft W x 3.5 ft H | 10 cubic yards — about 3 pickup-truck loads | 1.5 ton disposal allowance |
| 15 Yard Container | 14 ft L x 8 ft W x 4.5 ft H | 15 cubic yards — about 4.5 pickup-truck loads | 2 ton disposal allowance |
| 20 Yard Container | 16 ft L x 8 ft W x 5 ft H | 20 cubic yards — about 6 pickup-truck loads | 3 ton disposal allowance |
| 30 Yard Container | 20 ft L x 8 ft W x 6 ft H | 30 cubic yards — about 9 pickup-truck loads | 4 ton disposal allowance |
| 40 Yard Container | 22 ft L x 8 ft W x 8 ft H | 40 cubic yards — about 12 pickup-truck loads | 5 ton disposal allowance |
10 Yard Container
Garage and shed cleanouts, small bathroom renovations, concrete up to 250 sq ft, minor landscaping projects
Low walls make hand-loading effortless, and the compact footprint fits a single parking stall.
15 Yard Container
Kitchen renovations, flooring removal, roofing to 35 squares, multi-room decluttering
The most requested size — the right answer for most single-phase home projects.
20 Yard Container
Whole-home renovations, two-layer roof tear-offs, deck and fence demolition, unit turnovers
The contractor standard: renovation-phase capacity that still fits a residential driveway.
30 Yard Container
Estate cleanouts, new-construction framing debris, commercial white-box projects, storm recovery
Walk-in rear door and high walls — the workhorse for volume without extreme weight.
40 Yard Container
Commercial demolition, large land clearings, warehouse cleanouts, multi-trade construction sites
Maximum legal volume. Requires a generous approach — coordinators verify site access before dispatch.
Between two sizes?
Going one size up usually beats booking a second haul. Tell the coordinator what the material is and they will size it from the disposal weight, not a guess.
