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

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 garage cleanouts, attic debris removal, or small remodeling projects across Salt Lake City. We use Driveway-Protected Placement to prevent surface damage, with a 2,000-pound weight limit for packed boxes and furniture. (38 words)

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for concentrated loads: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a small container quickly; this works well for a single-story roof tear-off. Use this for heavy debris, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in Salt Lake City.

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, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot container fits on your residential drive; it carries a 4,000-pound rating for shingles.

A 20-Yard Container handles mid-size projects like whole-house decluttering, roof tear-offs, and a week-long remodel crew's debris with one clean load and a single Same-Day Swap-Out.

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 built for major projects in Salt Lake City: home additions, full remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your site; the taller walls provide space for framing debris.

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

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: for large commercial lots but often too tall for standard residential driveway access

The 40-yard container handles large demolition and new construction across the Salt Lake City area: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to prevent the need for a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial cleanouts and heavy new construction: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the ongoing build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing in Salt Lake City. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when hauling these items to ensure your site stays compliant with local hauling rules.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects the concrete of your driveway from damage. If the job mixes demolition concrete with a home tear-out — we pair the lowboy with a residential container.

Choosing the Right Roll-off Size for Your Project

Which size container fits your project? Picking the right roll-off depends on three factors: volume, weight, and placement. Most Salt Lake City residents use a 10-yard or 20-yard; remodels need a 30-yard; and heavy demolitions require a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers for the job.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like brick or concrete hit the tonnage capacity of a container quickly; light household junk or C&D debris fills the volume of the box first: size for the specific limit you reach.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; however, we follow these clearance rules: a 30-yard container needs overhead space for the truck mast, while a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher.
