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

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 small-scale cleanups in Tempe: garage clear-outs, single-room remodels, or attic sweeps. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits a typical household load of junk or light debris.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for C&D debris: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a small container before the volume looks full; it works for a single-story roof tear-off when you need a bin for heavy loads, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter yard waste.

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 a good fit for several projects in the Tempe metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits on your residential driveway; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container handles mid-size projects like whole-house clutter or roof tear-offs in one haul. For a week-long remodel, a single swap keeps crews moving without delays.

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

The 30-yard dumpster suits large projects in Tempe: home additions, full remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for multi-week jobs; it provides the volume crews need for mixed construction debris.

The 30-yard roll-off fits one-day home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong Tempe job sites.

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: too tall for residential driveways, best suited for commercial sites and large lots.

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Tempe metro: we drop it with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating handles bulky mixed debris — saving you from a second haul.

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

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced Lowboy: these materials bottom out a standard roll-off long before it looks full. This equipment is rated for 10,000 pounds—a heavy load—which differs from the roofing tear-off square sizing we handle in Tempe. Follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for your project.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single piece of debris hits the ground: this protects your driveway from damage. 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? Choosing a container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight of the load, and where to set the roll-off in Tempe; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard fits remodels; 40-yard or jobsite construction debris containers suit demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy materials like concrete fill a container by tonnage: the dense weight forces a limit before the box is full; lighter C&D debris fills the volume of a bin with room to spare.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

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