Compare sizes

Most projects in the Ann Arbor metro fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right container depends on the volume of debris; the weight of the load matters for the driveway.

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 Container fits tight driveways for garage cleanouts or single-room remodels in Ann Arbor. We use Driveway-Protected Placement with a 2,000-pound limit for household debris. Works for attic cleanouts or modest yard work. Call (734) 441-9718.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for dense C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full; this works for 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 Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor metro: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. The 22-foot long container handles 4,000-pound loads; this includes mixed shingles with your heavy framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: it handles whole-house decluttering and a roof tear-off in one load; a single swap out covers the full week of demo and finish work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Ann Arbor 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 handles large home additions in Ann Arbor: it offers volume for framing debris and full-house remodels. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your estate cleanouts; the 6,000-pound capacity covers mixed construction waste.

The 30-yard roll-off holds a week of debris from an Ann Arbor addition or full-kitchen or full-bath remodel.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Ann Arbor 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 40-yard bin exceeds residential driveway height limits for most local homeowners

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Ann Arbor metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris without a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial projects: our crews often pair this unit with a smaller yard-debris bin when building plans require a clean site throughout the entire construction process.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced 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 in Ann Arbor to ensure your dense project debris is handled correctly and safely.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects your concrete 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? Picking the right roll-off depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight of the load, and where the container sits in Ann Arbor. Most use a 10-yard or 20-yard; remodels need a 30-yard; demolitions require a 40-yard or jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry creates high tonnage that fills the container quickly: concrete and C&D debris hit the capacity before the box is full; prioritize the limit you expect to hit first for a better result.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Our placement rules depend on the size: 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 to your dispatcher.
