Most projects in the Portland metro fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris; a container must also fit with the room on the driveway.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Portland 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 roll-off handles small projects across Portland: garage cleanouts, attic clear-outs, or single-room remodels. We set the bin on driveway boards to protect your pavement, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits most household debris loads.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right choice for small, heavy loads: the call is simple; dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a small container quickly. This works for a roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in Portland.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Portland 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 Portland metro: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. This container has a 22-foot length for your residential drive; it holds a 4,000-pound load of shingles.

The 20-Yard Container clears an entire house or handles roof tear-offs in one haul. Schedule a swap-out on day seven so crews stay efficient without extra trips.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Portland 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 suits large projects in Portland: it handles debris from full-house remodels or major additions with ease. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options; it provides the volume needed for your next job.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen and full-bath remodels, and weeklong jobsite debris across Portland.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Portland 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: large bins for commercial sites that exceed typical residential driveway height clearances

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition in the Portland metro: we drop it with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to keep the project moving without a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off is built for new construction and large commercial cleanouts: our crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when site clearing runs in parallel with the project.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a heavy-duty lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than standard roll-off containers used for roofing tear-off square sizing. These units sit low in Portland to simplify loading, ensuring you stay compliant with EPA construction and demolition material management standards for your site.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects the surface of your driveway. 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? Choosing the right container depends on three factors: the amount of debris, the weight of the load, and where the roll-off sits on your driveway in Portland; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard fits a remodel; demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like masonry hit the tonnage limit of the container before they fill the box: C&D debris and household junk fill volume first; always choose the 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 to our dispatcher to confirm placement in your area.
