Dumpster Sizes: 10 to 40 Yard Comparison
Sizes & What Fits
Which dumpster size do I need?
We run five roll-off sizes across Lancaster County: 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40-yard. Every rental is one flat price: delivery, the rental period and a weight allowance are all included before we bring the truck out. Go over the weight allowance and we’ll tell you the per-ton overage rate up front, no surprises on the invoice.
| Size | Dimensions | Holds | Weight Included | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 12′ L × 8′ W × 3.5′ H | ≈ 3 pickup truck loads | 1 to 2 tons | Small cleanouts, heavy debris (dirt, concrete, brick) |
| 15 Yard | 16′ L × 8′ W × 4′ H | ≈ 4 to 5 pickup truck loads | 2 tons | Flooring, deck teardown, small roof |
| 20 Yard | 22′ L × 8′ W × 4′ H | ≈ 6 pickup truck loads | 3 tons | Whole-home cleanout, large remodel, roof replacement |
| 30 Yard | 22′ L × 8′ W × 6′ H | ≈ 9 pickup truck loads | 4 tons | New construction, major renovation, commercial |
| 40 Yard | 22′ L × 8′ W × 8′ H | ≈ 12 pickup truck loads | 5 tons | Demolition, large job sites, bulky light debris |
Dimensions are approximate and can vary slightly by container. Heavy material like concrete, dirt and shingles should go in a 10 or 15-yard so you don’t run into the weight allowance. Call (717) 621-3603 and we’ll size it and quote a flat price in one call.
