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 container size is also limited by your driveway space.

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 Container fits tight Salt Lake City driveways for garage cleanouts or small remodels. Driveway-Protected Placement with wooden boards prevents damage while handling 2,000 pounds of junk. Parking space remains. Call (385) 438-3298 for availability.

A 10-yard roll-off is for small jobs: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills the container quickly; it works well for a single-story roof tear-off on a tight site. This size is ideal for heavy loads, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter debris.

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 length fits your residential driveway; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container handles mid-size cleanups, whole-house decluttering, and roof tear-offs in one trip. A single swap covers a full week of demolition and finishing 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 built for sizable jobs in Salt Lake City: home additions, full remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your project; the tall walls hold plenty of volume.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong jobsite output 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: large bin for commercial sites that often exceeds typical residential driveway height clearance

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Salt Lake City metro: we drop the bin with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating handles your bulky mixed debris—no second pull needed.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial projects and new construction debris: we often place a smaller bin on the site when clearing runs in parallel with the main building phase.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy masonry requires a specialized lowboy for concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil: these materials exceed the capacity of a standard roll-off long before it looks full. This equipment handles 10,000 pounds—far denser than a roofing tear-off square sizing job—while following all EPA construction and demolition material management standards in Salt Lake City.

We set the lowboy on driveway boards to protect your concrete before any material hits the apron. 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 in Salt Lake City comes down to three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where we set the roll-off; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; and 40-yard jobsite construction debris containers are for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense C&D debris like concrete hits the tonnage threshold of a container before the box fills; light framing scrap fills volume first: match the material to the capacity you will reach first.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Placement depends on your specific site: 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 is for commercial lots. Send a photo to our dispatcher.
