Consider the site space available, plus your debris' volume, weight, and loading method before choosing the size.

when to choose a 15-yard dumpster

15-yard.

A 15-yard container has the same width with a shorter body for tight driveways. Use a 10-yard for concrete or dirt because dense debris can reach the weight limit before the container is full.

Review the 15-yard → Review the 10-yard →

when to choose a 20-yard dumpster

20-yard.

Use a 20-yard container for deck removals, kitchen remodels, extensive carpet replacement, roofing, and construction cleanup. It holds about 6 pickup truck loads behind chest-high walls. Schedule recurring swaps if the work will continue after the first container fills.

when to choose a 30-yard dumpster

30-yard.

A 30-yard container adds capacity to the same ground footprint as the 20-yard. Its rear swing door allows debris in by cart or wheelbarrow rather than lifting it over the walls, so be sure to account for access to the doors in your site measurements.

plan your Swaps

Schedule pickup or recurring swaps.

Avoid interrupting work by matching our service to your project's anticipated debris volume and pace.

Recurring service

Set the swap schedule with the first order.

Schedule swaps or multiple containers. LDR removes the full roll-off dumpster and delivers an empty one on your planned rotation.
Multi-site project? No problem. We will service a swap schedule for each location in your project, conveniently managed through one account.

when to swap

Don't overload your container.

A truck cannot haul a container with debris stacked above the rim.
Call for a swap when the container is nearly full instead of adding material above the load line.

Delivery And Service

What we need to know before delivery.

Your rental includes container delivery, the scheduled pickup or swap, and disposal.

Confirm the drop zone. Plan for about 60 feet of straight drive path and 15–20 feet of overhead clearance.
Set swap timing at booking. The service schedule stays on the same order throughout the project.
Adjust the rental period before pickup. Call if the project finishes early or needs more time.

Tornado Recovery

A generator and refrigerated container staged at a big-box store during roof repairs after a tornado.

In spring 2024, a tornado affected 18 stores for one of the nation's largest big-box retailers. LDR activated at sunrise on a Sunday and coordinated debris crews, generators, and sanitation across all 18 locations. Every store restarted operations, and the retailer is now a regular customer.

FAQs.

Can I mix debris in a 20-yard container?

Yes. A 20-yard can hold mixed drywall, wood, carpet, roofing, and furnishings. Use a smaller container for a load that is mostly concrete or dirt because dense debris reaches the 2–4 ton allowance before the dumpster is full.

Do not load electronics, batteries, tires, paint, chemicals, propane tanks, or freon appliances. Call before delivery if the material is uncertain.

What happens if I overfill my container?

The load must sit level with the rim before the truck can haul it. Call for a swap when the container is nearly full, rather than stacking debris above the load line.

Why is the 20 the most-rented container size?

It covers a broad range of whole-house and store-sized projects, fits ordinary lots, and has walls low enough for hand loading.

What does a 20-yard rental cost?

Pricing depends on the debris, rental period, service schedule, and location. Call us with the site and project details to receive a quote with no hidden fees and no obligation to book.

How soon can my container be delivered?

Delivery is often available the same day or within 24 hours, depending on local inventory. Call to confirm availability for your site.

Can you cover more than one location?

Yes. Our team can coordinate service and provide one invoice across all your locations, backed by 7,500+ vetted vendors in all 50 states.
