Compare sizes

Most projects in the Louisville metro fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the driveway container space.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Louisville 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 smaller jobs in Louisville: 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 works with most household debris loads.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal for dense C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full. This size 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 Louisville 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 Louisville metro: whole-house decluttering, roof tear-offs, and flooring jobs. The 22-foot container holds 4,000 pounds of shingles and framing scrap; this fits well on your residential driveway.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects; it fits whole-house decluttering and a mid-size roof tear-off in one haul, while a single swap out covers the full week of demo and finish work on site.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Louisville 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 major renovations in Louisville: home additions, full-house remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options; it provides the volume needed for your construction debris on multi-week projects.

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

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Louisville 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 commercial lots and too tall for most standard residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition in the Louisville metro: we drop each unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to keep the site clear on long jobs.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial projects and new builds: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the main construction work.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a heavy-duty lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than standard roofing tear-off square sizing. We haul these dense materials in Louisville following the EPA construction and demolition material management standards. Our equipment handles the weight of the load without needing a taller roll-off bin.

We set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits your apron to protect concrete from spalling. 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? Picking the right container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where the roll-off sits on your property; a 10 or 20-yard works for most in Louisville, a 30-yard for remodels, and a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy C&D debris like concrete fills a container by the tonnage before volume matters: masonry creates dense loads; meanwhile, bulky household contents fill the box for space with far less strain on the truck.

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 the dispatcher in Louisville to confirm your fit.
