20-Yard Dumpster Rental
The 20-yard is our most-booked size across all six locations, and for good reason: it's the sweet spot between a contained single-room project and a full construction job. Most whole-home cleanouts and standard renovation projects in our network land here, and it's also a common choice for estate cleanouts and flood or fire restoration work where the volume of debris is hard to predict in advance.
Best For
- Whole-home cleanouts and estate cleanouts
- Kitchen or bathroom gut renovations
- Roofing tear-offs on larger roofs (confirm shingle volume with your location first — heavier loads may need a weight allowance adjustment)
- Flood or fire restoration cleanouts
- Larger deck or shed demolition
- Flooring removal across multiple rooms
- Small commercial cleanouts
Not the Right Fit For
Full new-construction projects or large commercial demolition — call your nearest location to talk through options if your project is at that scale.
Need Site-Prep Equipment Too?
Demolition and new-construction projects at this scale often need more than debris removal. Our sister company, NorthPoint Equipment Rentals, rents excavators and skid steers from several of the same locations for site prep, grading, and demolition work itself.

Pricing & What's Included
Every 20-Yard Dumpster rental includes delivery, a standard rental period, and pickup, with weight limits built into the price. Loads that exceed the weight limit are billed for the overage rather than rejected, and you'll see the exact all-in price before confirming your reservation online. Extensions are available by the day if your project runs longer than planned.
20-Yard Dumpster FAQ
Is a 20-yard big enough for a whole-house cleanout?
Yes — this is our most-booked size specifically because it comfortably handles whole-home cleanouts, estate cleanouts, and multi-room renovations without needing a second container for most standard-sized homes.
What's the weight limit for a 20-yard dumpster?
2 tons included in the base price — our highest standard weight allowance, which is why this size is also the default recommendation for flood/fire restoration and heavier renovation debris.
Can a full kitchen renovation's debris fit in a 20-yard?
Yes, for a standard single-kitchen gut renovation including cabinets, flooring, and drywall. If the project also includes structural changes or an addition, mention that when booking so we can confirm sizing.
What if my project is bigger than a 20-yard can handle?
This is currently our largest standard size. For large commercial demolition or multi-phase construction generating more debris than one container can hold, call your nearest location — we can schedule a swap (picking up a full container and dropping an empty one) rather than making you wait.
