Most projects in Ann Arbor fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right container choice depends on the volume of debris; the weight and available room on the driveway also matter for placement.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Ann Arbor 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 small jobs in Ann Arbor: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the roll-off on driveway boards to protect your pavement, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits most household debris loads.

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. This is 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 Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor metro: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. This container has a 22-foot length; its 4,000-pound rating handles shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: it clears whole-house clutter in one haul and handles a mid-size roof tear-off, then a single swap out covers the full week of demo and finish work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Ann Arbor 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 large projects in Ann Arbor: home additions, full remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options; it provides framing crews with significant volume for their debris.

The 30-yard roll-off handles large home additions, full-kitchen remodels, and full-bath projects across Ann Arbor.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Ann Arbor 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 large commercial sites and too tall for most residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles large demolition and new construction in the Ann Arbor metro: we drop this bin with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating covers a bulky load to save you from a second haul.

Our largest standard 40-yard roll-off is sized for new construction and major commercial cleanouts: crews often combine it with a smaller yard-debris bin when site clearing runs in parallel with building.

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 equipment used for roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards in Ann Arbor to manage this heavy debris safely. This sturdy container works best for your site.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the surface: this protects the concrete of your driveway. 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? Choosing the right roll-off depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where the container sits in Ann Arbor. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard handles remodels; and only demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense masonry like concrete hits the tonnage limit for a container quickly; lighter C&D debris or household junk fills the box volume first. Follow this rule: select the capacity for the limit you hit.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; a 30-yard container needs overhead clearance for the truck mast: a 40-yard belongs in a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher with your site in view.
