Most projects in Salt Lake City fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room available for a container.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Salt Lake City 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 is sized for small projects in Salt Lake City: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the roll-off on driveway boards to protect your pavement, and the 2,000-pound weight limit handles typical household debris.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for dense C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a 10-yard 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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City metro: whole-house decluttering, flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. The 22-foot container fits on your residential driveway; its 4,000-pound rating handles shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: it hauls whole-house decluttering piles and mid-size roof tear-offs in one load, while a single swap out covers the full week of demo and finish work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Salt Lake City 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 ideal for Salt Lake City home additions: it manages high-volume framing debris with ease. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for large estate cleanouts; the tall walls hold your project waste.

The 30-yard roll-off handles entire home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong Salt Lake City jobsite debris.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Salt Lake City 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, best suited for commercial sites and large lots.

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition across the Salt Lake City metro: we drop this bin with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris to haul your project waste in one trip.

The 40-yard roll-off handles major commercial cleanouts: crews often combine it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build for the job on site.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for heavy debris—rather than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when clearing these materials in Salt Lake City, ensuring your site remains compliant while using our short-walled containers for easier loading.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single load of debris hits the ground: this protects your concrete 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 fits your project? Choosing the right container depends on three factors: the volume of your debris, the weight, and where the roll-off sits on the ground; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most in Salt Lake City; a 30-yard is for remodels; demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy C&D debris like concrete fills a container by tonnage before the box is full: dense materials hit limits quickly; light household junk or framing scrap fills the volume for a full load.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; a 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 for help with your placement.
