Most projects in Portland fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room you have 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 smaller cleanups in Portland: garage clear-outs, single-room remodels, or a weekend of yard debris. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit fits most household jobs.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call 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 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, roof tear-offs, and floor replacements. This 22-foot container supports a 4,000-pound rating; it is ideal for disposing of shingles and framing scrap on your residential property.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size jobs; whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and a full week of remodel demo and finish waste all fit in one or a single swap out on site.

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 is built for large projects in Portland: home additions, full-house remodels, and mid-size jobsite output. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options; the taller walls provide space for framing debris on your site.

A 30-yard roll-off handles the big jobs—home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong Portland job sites.

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: best for commercial sites but typically too tall for standard residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles large demolition and new construction in the Portland area: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to haul everything away in one single trip.

The 40-yard roll-off is built for new construction and large commercial cleanouts: 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

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials bottom out a standard roll-off long before it looks full. We manage these heavy loads—rated up to 10,000 pounds—differently than roofing tear-off square sizing, while following EPA construction and demolition material management standards across Portland.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: 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 a container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight of the load, and where the roll-off sits in Portland. Most homeowners use a 10-yard or 20-yard; remodels need a 30-yard; only demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy materials like concrete fill a container by tonnage before they fill the box; bulky C&D debris or household items fill the space first: size your bin for the limit you will hit.

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 belongs in a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher.
