Most projects in Portland fit one of four roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; you must also consider the room for a container.

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 projects across 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 most household debris loads.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal for heavy C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full. Use this for a single-story 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 on your residential drive; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: it hauls whole-house decluttering or a mid-size roof tear-off in one trip, and a single swap out keeps the week-long demo and finish work moving.

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

A 30-yard dumpster handles home additions and full-house remodels in Portland: this container serves large estate cleanouts with ease. The 30-yard pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your projects; it offers framing crews real working volume.

A 30-yard roll-off keeps Portland home additions and full-kitchen or full-bath remodels on schedule without multiple pickups.

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 typically too tall for standard residential driveways

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Portland metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris—saving you from a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off handles new construction and major commercial cleanouts: crews often combine it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build on your property.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials hit the 10,000-pound threshold—far sooner than a standard roll-off—making them distinct from jobs needing roofing tear-off square sizing. We operate in Portland under strict EPA construction and demolition material management standards to keep your site compliant with all local rules.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single load of debris hits the ground: it 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? Picking the right container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight of the load, and where you place it in Portland; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard handles remodels; for demolitions, use a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry and C&D debris hit heavy tonnage limits before filling a container: the dense weight of brick or concrete fills the box fast; choose your size for the limit you will hit first.

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 is for a commercial lot. Send a photo of your site to our dispatcher.
