A clean lineup of matte-black roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30, and 40-yard sizes staged on a sunlit gravel yard in Tempe, showing the size progression from compact to commercial-scale containers.

Roll-off dumpster sizes

Need a roll-off in Tempe? Dumpster & Roll-Off Container Rental provides 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-yard sizes; we use a hooklift for precise container placement—and we handle every swap out for your project with full, local efficiency.

Compare sizes

Most projects in the Tempe area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right container depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and your available driveway space.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Tempe 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 handles smaller projects in Tempe: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your pavement, and the 2,000-pound weight limit works for most household debris loads.

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 roof tear-off or when looking at yard debris container choices for lighter loads.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Tempe 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 ideal for your projects in Tempe: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits on most residential drives; its 4,000-pound rating handles a load of shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the go-to for mid-size projects: set it once for whole-house decluttering or a roof tear-off, then schedule a single swap out to haul debris from the week’s demo and finish work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Tempe 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

A 30-yard dumpster suits home additions and full-house remodels in Tempe: the tall sides provide volume for framing crews. This container pairs with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for large cleanouts; the 6,000-pound capacity handles your mixed construction debris.

The 30-yard roll-off handles Tempe home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong job-site debris piles.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Tempe 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: best for large commercial sites and generally too tall for residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition across the Tempe metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris for your project so you avoid paying for a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off is built for new construction and large commercial cleanouts: crews often combine it with a smaller yard-debris bin when site clearing runs in parallel with the main project.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when servicing your site in Tempe to ensure these dense materials are handled properly during your project.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single piece of debris hits the surface: this protects the concrete of your driveway. 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 container fits your project? Selecting the right roll-off depends on three factors: volume, weight, and placement; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most in Tempe; a 30-yard is for remodels; and 40-yard options or jobsite construction debris containers are for heavy demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy loads of concrete or C&D debris hit the Tonnage allowance before the box is full: masonry requires a smaller container; household items fill volume with light waste before hitting the limit for the box.

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 to our dispatcher with your driveway in view.
