20 Yard Roll Off Container
20 Yard Dumpster Rental in Las Cruces, NM
The most popular all-around size for Las Cruces remodels, roofing jobs, and larger home cleanouts — big enough for real project debris, still easy to place in a standard driveway.
20 Yard Dumpster Dimensions and Capacity
A typical 20 yard roll off container measures approximately 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet high, holding around 20 cubic yards of debris — roughly 6 pickup truck loads. That makes it large enough for a full remodel or roofing job while still fitting comfortably in most Las Cruces driveways. For a side-by-side look at every size we offer, see our dumpster sizes page.
What Fits in a 20 Yard Dumpster?
Kitchen & Bathroom Remodels
Cabinets, countertops, tile, drywall, and fixtures from a full remodel.
Roofing Tear-Offs
Shingle removal on small to mid-size roofs — see our roofing dumpster rental page for weight guidance.
Larger Home Cleanouts

Is a 20 Yard the Right Size for You?
A 20 yard sits in the middle of our size lineup — bigger than the 10 or 15 yard containers used for small cleanouts, and smaller than the 30 yard used for construction and demolition debris. If your project is a single-room cleanout, a residential dumpster rental in the 10–15 yard range is probably a better fit and a lower cost. If you’re tackling a full construction or demolition job, our 30 yard dumpster rental page may be the better match. Not sure? Call and describe the project — we’ll recommend the right size, not just the one that’s available.
Weight Limits on a 20 Yard Container
Every 20 yard rental includes a set weight allowance. Lighter debris like drywall and household junk rarely comes close to the limit, but heavier materials like shingles, tile, or a mix that includes concrete can hit the weight limit before the container looks full. Tell us your debris type when you book so we can confirm the right weight allowance up front.
20 Yard Dumpster Pricing and Rental Period
Standard rentals include a 7-day period, with pricing based on debris type, weight, and delivery location. See our full dumpster rental pricing page for what affects your quote, or call (575) 201-7406 for an exact price on your project.

Is a 20 yard big enough for a roof tear-off?
