Compare sizes

Most projects in the Lowell 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 container room available.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Lowell 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 roll-off is sized for a single sweep of household debris: garage cleanouts, small attic clear-outs, or a single-room remodel in Lowell. We set the bin on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit handles typical loads.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for specific jobs: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills the container before the volume looks high; this 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 Lowell 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 Lowell metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits on your residential drive; its 4,000-pound rating handles shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects. It pulls whole-house decluttering and mid-size roof tear-offs in one load; a single swap out covers the demo and finish work for a week-long remodel.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Lowell 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 handles large estate cleanouts in Lowell: it offers specific volume for framing crews. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for home additions; the 6,000-pound capacity covers your mixed construction debris on site.

The 30-yard roll-off holds a week of remodeling debris from full-kitchen and full-bath projects across Lowell.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Lowell 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 bin for commercial sites, generally too tall for residential driveways.

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

The 40-yard roll-off is built for new construction and major commercial cleanouts: crews often combine it with a smaller yard-debris bin when site clearing runs in parallel with the main build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a heavy-duty lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—because these materials bottom out a standard roll-off before you fill the sides. This equipment differs from roofing tear-off square sizing, and we follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for all jobs in Lowell.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects your property from damage. If the 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 container fits your project? Choosing the right roll-off depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where it sits in Lowell. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; only large demolitions need a 40-yard or jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Concrete and brick hit the tonnage of a container fast: they fill the space before you reach the top; drywall or C&D debris fills the box volume with household contents before anything else.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; the 30-yard container requires overhead clearance for the truck mast: a 40-yard bin is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher with your site in view.
