Compare sizes

Most projects in the Allentown metro fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right choice depends on the volume of debris; the container must fit the weight and the available space.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Allentown 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 works well for garage cleanouts or small attic projects in Allentown: we set the container on driveway boards to protect your pavement, and the 2,000-pound weight limit handles a typical household load with room for modest yard 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 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 Allentown 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 Allentown area: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits most residential driveways; the 4,000-pound rating handles mixed shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container handles mid-size projects like whole-house cleanouts and roof tear-offs in one haul. One swap keeps debris moving smooth for a week-long remodel.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Allentown 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 provides volume for Allentown home additions: it fits framing debris and full-house remodels. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for large cleanouts; the six-thousand-pound capacity handles your mixed construction waste.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong jobsite debris across Allentown.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Allentown 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 capacity bin for commercial sites, often exceeding typical residential driveway height clearances.

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Allentown metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating handles a bulky mixed load without a second haul.

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

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy masonry projects in Allentown require a reinforced lowboy: concrete, brick, asphalt, and soil. This equipment handles weight differently than roofing tear-off square sizing—it stays low for easier loading. We follow all EPA construction and demolition material management standards when hauling your debris to the site.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects your driveway 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? Picking the right container depends on three factors: the volume of your debris, what it weighs, and where the roll-off sits in Allentown; a 10 or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard handles remodels; and demolitions need a 40-yard or jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like concrete hit the tonnage capacity of a container before you fill the box; for lighter C&D debris, the volume is the primary factor: size your bin for the limit you hit first.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives: a 30-yard container needs overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo of your space to our dispatcher in Allentown.
