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 available 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 works well for garage cleanouts and small attic clear-outs in Portland: it sits on driveway boards to protect the surface of your driveway, with a compact footprint that fits tight spaces. The 2,000-pound weight limit handles most household junk loads.

A 10-yard roll-off is for specific jobs: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a container before the volume looks full; it 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 flooring jobs. The 22-foot container length rests on your residential driveway; its 4,000-pound rating handles shingles and framing scrap.

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

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 large home additions and full-house remodels in Portland: this container pairs with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for estate cleanouts. The taller walls provide volume for framing debris; the 6,000-pound capacity covers your project.

A 30-yard roll-off handles Portland home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong job-site cleanup smoothly.

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: too tall for residential driveways, best suited for commercial sites and large lots.

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—its 8,000-pound rating handles your bulky mixed debris without a second haul to the site.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large construction projects: crews often pair it with a smaller bin for yard waste when the site clearing runs in parallel with the work on the build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy material jobs in Portland require a reinforced lowboy: concrete, brick, asphalt, and soil. This container handles density better than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing—rated up to 10,000 pounds. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when hauling your debris.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the pavement: this step protects your property from damage. If a 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 the roll-off sits in Portland. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for a home; a 30-yard is for a remodel; demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry and C&D debris hit the tonnage of a container fast: heavy materials fill the box before the sides are reached; for lighter household items, you should prioritize space to avoid the volume limit.

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 space to our dispatcher.
