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

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Arlington 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 works for garage cleanouts and single-room remodels in Arlington: it fits tight driveways with a compact footprint, set on driveway boards to protect your pavement. The bin handles up to 2,000 pounds, enough for most household debris.

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 Arlington 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 Arlington metro: whole-house decluttering, roof tear-offs, and flooring jobs. This container has a 22-foot length for your residential driveway; its 4,000-pound rating handles shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container handles whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, or week-long remodel debris in one trip. One swap-out covers the full week. Call (571) 364-7084 to schedule.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Arlington 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

A 30-yard dumpster suits large projects in Arlington: it handles home additions, full-house remodels, and estate cleanouts with ease. The 30-yard pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for multi-week work; it provides real volume for framing crews.

The 30-yard roll-off handles Arlington home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong job-site debris.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Arlington 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 large bin is for commercial sites and exceeds most residential driveway limits.

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition in the Arlington area: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to assist in finishing a job without a second pull.

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

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil occupy less room than projects needing roofing tear-off square sizing: this lowboy handles 10,000 pounds—a heavy load—with low walls for easy loading. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when hauling debris out of Arlington to the transfer station.

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 a roll-off depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where the container sits in Arlington. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; 40-yard jobsite construction debris containers are for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Density governs the loading of a container: masonry and C&D debris hit the tonnage maximum before the box is full; household trash fills volume first with lightweight items, so plan for the constraint ahead.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Placement requirements vary by 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 belongs in a commercial lot. Send a photo to your dispatcher.
