Most projects in the Tacoma area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room on the container.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Tacoma 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-scale jobs in Tacoma: 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.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for C&D debris; the decision 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, roof tear-offs, and flooring jobs. This container has a 22-foot length for your residential drive; it carries a 4,000-pound rating for mixed shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and the debris a remodel crew pulls for a full week on site. A single swap out covers week-two demo and finish work.

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

A 30-yard dumpster is built for a large Tacoma project: a full-house remodel or estate cleanout. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for home additions; the taller walls hold more wood and framing debris.

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

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 commercial sites and large lots.

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition in the Tacoma metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris—this keeps your site clean without a second haul.

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

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials hit the capacity threshold—often 10,000 pounds—before a standard roll-off looks full. We manage these projects differently than light roofing tear-off square sizing, following EPA construction and demolition material management standards across Tacoma to assist with your site cleanup.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects your property from damage. 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 container in Tacoma depends on three factors: volume of debris, weight, and placement on your site; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; and demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense masonry and C&D debris hit the tonnage limit of a container quickly: choose your box based on the material density; light items fill volume before the weight of the load becomes an issue.

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 belongs in a commercial lot. Send a photo of your space to our dispatcher.
