Dumpster Size FAQs
What size dumpster do I need for a roof?
A 20 yard dumpster works for most residential roofing jobs, but shingles are heavy, so weight limit matters more than volume. Tell us your roof size and material and we’ll plan the right container.
Can a dumpster fit in my driveway?
Yes — 10 to 20 yard dumpsters fit most Las Cruces driveways. Clear vehicles, low branches, and gates before delivery. For placement questions see our service areas page or call us.
What happens if I pick the wrong size?
Going too small means a second haul; going too large means paying for space you don’t use. That’s why we help you choose before delivery. Call (575) 201-7406.
