A reliable and affordable way to get rid of large amounts of garbage? Our 20 yard dumpsters (also called 20-yard skips) are perfect for cleaning up big messes from homes, businesses, or construction sites.
What Can You Use a 20 Yard Dumpster For?
A 20-yard bin can hold a lot of stuff. You can use it for:
- Old furniture and appliances
- Yard waste like branches, leaves, and shrubs
- Construction debris like wood, glass, and drywall
- Roofing material and cardboard
- Garage or basement cleanouts
Contractors often rent these bins for renovation and landscaping jobs. But homeowners and businesses also use them for big cleanups, moving, or just clearing out space.
Important Note About Heavy Materials
If you’re getting rid of dirt, concrete, or heavy materials, a 20 Yard Dumpster might be too heavy for our trucks to lift. For these heavy loads, we recommend using a 8-yard or 10-yard bin instead.
20 Yard Dumpster Size & Capacity
Our 20-yard dumpster is:
- 18 feet long
- 8.5 feet wide
- 4 feet tall
This bin can hold about 7 pickup truck loads of waste. The top and back doors open fully, making it easy to load, even in tight driveways.
How Much Does a 20 Yard Dumpster Cost?
You can rent a 20-yard dumpster at a low price that includes dump fees for up to 3,000 lbs of waste. Prices may vary a little depending on your location and the type of waste, but we keep our rates fair and competitive.
