Most projects in Tacoma fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; the container must also fit on the driveway.

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 cleanouts across Tacoma: garage clear-outs, single-room remodels, or a sweep of attic junk. We set the roll-off 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 the right choice for concentrated 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.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Tacoma 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 Tacoma metro: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and mid-size roof tear-offs. Its 22-foot length fits on most residential drives; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the go-to for mid-size projects: whole-house decluttering, roof tear-offs, and demo debris from a week-long remodel haul. One set and a single swap out covers week-two cleanup without extra runs.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Tacoma 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 large home additions and full-house remodels in Tacoma: the high walls offer volume for framing crews. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for estate cleanouts; the 6,000-pound limit covers your mixed debris.

A 30-yard roll-off in Tacoma handles home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong jobsite cleanup.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Tacoma 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 usually too tall for standard residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition in the Tacoma metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to keep the site clear on long jobs.

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

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy masonry requires a reinforced Lowboy: concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil. These dense materials reach the 10,000-pound cap—far below the volume of roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when hauling debris from your job site in Tacoma.

We set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the apron to prevent cracking. 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? Choosing the right roll-off depends on three factors: volume, weight, and placement. Most Tacoma residents use a 10-yard or 20-yard container; a 30-yard is for remodels; only demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers for your work.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy materials like concrete fill a container before the top; C&D debris and household junk reach the box volume first. Follow this rule for tonnage: 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 to our dispatcher to confirm fit in your area.
