What Fits in a 20 Yard Dumpster?

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodels

Cabinets, countertops, tile, drywall, and fixtures from a full remodel.

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.
