Roll-off dumpster sizes

Wondering which roll-off fits your job? At Dumpster & Roll-Off Container Rental, we serve Ann Arbor with 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-yard sizes; we use a hooklift for precise placement—and we handle every swap out for your container project.

Compare sizes

Most jobs in Ann Arbor fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris; the container size is also limited by the space on your driveway.

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 Ann Arbor projects: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit works with a typical household load.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal for C&D debris; the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full. This works for a single-story roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in a driveway.

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, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. Its 22-foot length fits most residential drives; the 4,000-pound rating accommodates your shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container handles mid-size projects: whole-house declutter, roof tear-offs, and a week-long remodel crew’s demo and finish debris in one haul. A single swap out covers week-two 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

A 30-yard dumpster handles large home additions in Ann Arbor: these units provide volume for framing crews; the container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for multi-week projects on your property with a 6,000-pound capacity.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong Ann Arbor job sites.

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: fits commercial sites but is generally too tall for typical residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition in the Ann Arbor area: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to keep the site clear for the job.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial cleanouts: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build. Call (734) 418-9791 today.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when hauling debris in Ann Arbor to keep your project compliant with local disposal regulations.

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

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry materials fill the container by reaching their tonnage before the box is full; C&D debris follows this rule: choose the capacity based on the material density you are loading to avoid extra costs.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Placement depends on the size of your container: a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; a 30-yard needs overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to dispatch.
