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

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 roll-off works well for garage cleanouts or small attic projects in Portland: we set the bin on driveway boards to protect your pavement. The compact footprint fits tight spaces, and the 2,000-pound weight limit handles a typical household load of junk.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for dense C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a 10-yard 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 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 flooring jobs. The 22-foot container has a 4,000-pound rating; it works well for shingles and framing scrap on your residential driveway.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: whole-house decluttering, a mid-size roof tear-off, and week-long demo and finish debris hauled in one load on a single swap out for the entire job.

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 is built for large projects in Portland: it handles framing scrap, estate cleanouts, or full-house remodels. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your home renovation; the 6,000-pound capacity supports extensive cleanup.

The 30-yard roll-off handles 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 large commercial sites but too tall for most 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—its 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris without the need for a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off is built for 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.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy masonry jobs require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—to haul concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil: this differs from standard roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when moving C&D debris in Portland. Short walls allow a skid-steer to load your roll-off easily.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single load of material hits the pavement: this protects the surface 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: volume of debris, weight, and where you set the roll-off in Portland; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard handles a remodel; and 40-yard or jobsite construction debris containers are for large demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry and C&D debris hit the tonnage limit of a container quickly; household goods fill the volume of a box before the weight adds up: plan for the constraint 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 your fit.
