Compare sizes

Most projects in the Whittier area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; a container provides the room for you.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Whittier 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 the usual Whittier jobs: garage cleanouts, small attic clear-outs, and single-room remodels. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your pavement, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits a typical household sweep.

A 10-yard roll-off is for dense loads: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full. This size handles C&D debris on 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 Whittier 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 Whittier metro: whole-house decluttering and mid-size roof tear-offs; the 22-foot length fits on your residential driveway with a 4,000-pound rating for mixed shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the go-to for mid-size projects: whole-house decluttering, roof tear-offs, and a week-long remodel crew’s output can all ride in one trip. A single swap out covers week-two demo and finish work on site.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Whittier 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 major projects in Whittier: home additions and full-house remodels require this volume. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for clearing debris; it provides framing crews with significant working space.

The 30-yard roll-off keeps Whittier home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong job sites clean without extra hauls.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Whittier 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: this large bin is for commercial sites and exceeds standard residential driveway heights

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Whittier metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—and the 8,000-pound rating helps you haul bulky mixed debris in one trip.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial projects and new construction debris: crews often pair this unit with a smaller yard-waste bin when site clearing runs in parallel with the build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a 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 hauling these items in Whittier, ensuring every load stays legal on the road to the local site.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects your pavement 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 debris, the weight of the load, and where the roll-off sits in Whittier. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry materials hit the tonnage threshold of a container before filling the volume: C&D debris and household items fill the box first; choose your size for the limit you will 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 the dispatcher in Whittier.
