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

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 Container works well for tight Tacoma driveways—we use Driveway-Protected Placement boards to prevent damage. It holds up to 2,000 pounds, ideal for garage clean-outs, attic junk removal, or small landscaping jobs. Call for placement details.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for small jobs: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills the container before the volume looks full; use this 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 ideal for your projects in Tacoma: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot container length fits most residential driveways; the 4,000-pound rating handles a load of mixed shingles plus framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and a full week of demo and finish debris hauled in one go, with a single swap out to keep crews on schedule.

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 suits large projects in Tacoma: it holds massive amounts of framing debris, home additions, and full-house remodels. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your estate cleanouts; the tall walls maximize volume.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong Tacoma job sites.

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: too tall for residential driveways, this bin serves large commercial construction sites

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

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

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a heavy-duty lowboy: these materials bottom out a standard roll-off long before it looks full. This specialized container handles 10,000 pounds—far heavier than typical roofing tear-off square sizing in Tacoma. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for all site waste.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects the surface of your driveway from damage. If the job mixes demolition concrete with a home tear-out — we pair the lowboy with a 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: the volume of debris, what it weighs, and where the roll-off sits in Tacoma. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for a remodel; only demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry materials hit the tonnage threshold for a container before the box is full; C&D debris or household junk fills the volume first: size your rental for the specific limit of your load.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Placement rules depend on container size: a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits most residential drives; a 30-yard needs overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard is for commercial lots. Send a photo to our dispatcher in Tacoma to confirm fit.
