Most projects in the Portland metro fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right container depends on the volume of debris; the weight of the load matters for the driveway space.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Portland 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-scale jobs in Portland: 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 suits a typical household load.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for small, heavy loads: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a container before the volume looks full; this works for a roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in Portland.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Portland 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 Portland metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits most residential driveways; this container handles a 4,000-pound load of shingles.

The 20-yard container is the go-to for mid-size projects: it hauls whole-house decluttering, a mid-size roof tear-off, and all the demo and finish debris in a single load, with just one swap out in week two.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Portland 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 handles high-volume waste in Portland: home additions, full-house remodels, and large estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your projects; the tall walls provide the space needed for framing debris.

The 30-yard roll-off keeps Portland home additions, full-kitchen and full-bath remodels, and weeklong jobsite runs moving without debris pileups.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Portland 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: ideal for commercial sites but generally too tall for typical residential driveways

The 40-yard container functions for new construction and large demolition in the Portland metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating handles your bulky mixed debris—avoiding a second trip for the job.

The 40-yard roll-off is built for new construction and large commercial projects: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy masonry requires a reinforced Lowboy: concrete, brick, asphalt, and dirt. These jobs differ from your roofing tear-off square sizing because dense material hits the 10,000-pound limit quickly—well before the container looks full. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards throughout Portland to keep your job site compliant.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single piece of debris hits the ground: this protects your property from damage. 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 container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight of the load, and where the roll-off sits on your property; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most in Portland; a 30-yard fits a remodel; demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry materials hit the Tonnage limit before the box fills: concrete and C&D debris occupy less space than the weight allows; size your container for the constraint you expect to meet first with your waste.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Placement depends on your site: 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 is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher.
