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; the container must also fit on your 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 bin fits tight driveways for garage cleanouts or single-room remodels across Portland. We set it on driveway boards with a 2,000-pound limit for household debris. Holds attic clear-outs or small yard projects.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal for concentrated C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a small 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 large flooring jobs. The 22-foot container holds 4,000-pound loads; it handles mixed shingles with framing scrap for your residential site.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse of mid-size projects: it hauls whole-house decluttering loads and a mid-size roof tear-off in one trip, and a single swap out keeps 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

The 30-yard dumpster provides volume for home additions in Portland: it handles framing scrap and heavy debris. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for full cleanouts; the 6,000-pound capacity supports your multi-week construction projects.

A 30-yard roll-off fits Portland homes adding square footage, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong job-site output.

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: large bins for commercial sites that rarely fit on a standard residential driveway

The 40-yard container functions as the workhorse for new construction and large demolition across Portland: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—its 8,000-pound rating handles your bulky mixed debris to cover the job without a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial projects and new construction: crews frequently pair a smaller yard-debris bin with the container when site clearing occurs in parallel with the main build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy masonry requires a specialized lowboy for concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil: these materials exceed capacity—often 10,000 pounds—before filling the bin. This equipment differs from standard containers used for roofing tear-off square sizing in Portland. We track EPA construction and demolition material management standards to keep your site compliant.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the floor: this protects the concrete of your driveway. 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 a container in Portland depends on three factors: the amount of debris, the weight, and where to set the roll-off; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard fits remodels; only demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense C&D debris like concrete hits the Tonnage limit before the container is full: heavy materials fill the box with weight; household junk fills the volume first, so size for the limit you reach.

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 for your placement.
