Roll-off dumpster sizes

Need a local roll-off for your Winston-Salem site? At Dumpster & Roll-Off Container Rental, we provide 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-yard sizes; our hooklift trucks handle the placement—and we offer a simple swap out for every container you rent.

Compare sizes

Most projects in the Winston-Salem metro 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 driveway.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Winston-Salem 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 small jobs in Winston-Salem: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits a typical household load of debris.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal for small, heavy projects: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a container quickly. This size works for a single-story roof tear-off; whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in a driveway.

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

The 20-yard container fits the mid-size project perfectly; it hauls whole-house decluttering or a roof tear-off in one trip and a single swap out covers week-two demo and finish work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem home projects: it handles full-house remodels and large estate cleanouts with ease. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your job; tall sides provide volume for framing debris.

The 30-yard roll-off keeps home additions and full-kitchen or full-bath remodels in Winston-Salem moving without debris pileups.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Winston-Salem 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 commercial projects only as this tall bin exceeds typical residential driveway clearance

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Winston-Salem metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating handles your bulky mixed debris on long projects.

The 40-yard roll-off handles major commercial cleanouts and new construction projects: we often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when site clearing runs in parallel with the main build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced Lowboy: these materials bottom out a standard roll-off long before it looks full. This Lowboy is rated for 10,000 pounds—plenty for your project in Winston-Salem—and differs from roofing tear-off square sizing, while meeting EPA construction and demolition material management standards for proper disposal.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this prevents damage to your pavement. If a project 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 container depends on three factors: volume of debris, weight, and placement on your property; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most in Winston-Salem; a 30-yard is for remodels; and 40-yard jobsite construction debris containers are for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like concrete hit the tonnage threshold in a small container; light C&D debris or household items fill the box before the weight limit: always size for the constraint you reach first.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Our sizing follows specific clearance rules: a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; a 30-yard container needs overhead space for the truck mast; a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher.
