Most projects in the Arlington area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right container choice 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 is ideal for household projects in Arlington, such as garage cleanouts or small remodels. We position it with Driveway-Protected Placement to avoid damage. The 2,000-pound weight limit covers furniture, boxes, and drywall debris. Call (571) 364-7084 for details.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for small, heavy jobs: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a container before the volume looks full; this works for a 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. The 22-foot length fits on your residential driveway; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles and framing scrap with ease.

The 20-yard container handles the mid-size project: whole-house decluttering, roof tear-offs up to 2,000 square feet, and a week’s worth of remodel debris with one trip, so a single swap out covers week-two demo work.

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

The 30-yard dumpster suits large projects in Arlington: it provides volume for home additions, full-house remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options; it handles 6,000 pounds of mixed debris for your job.

The 30-yard roll-off handles Arlington home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong jobsite output.

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: large commercial bin, generally too tall for standard residential driveways in arlington, va.

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition across the Arlington metro: we drop this massive unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris without the need for a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off serves large construction sites; our crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build on the project.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these dense materials hit the 10,000-pound capacity—far sooner than the volume of a standard roll-off—making them distinct from jobs like roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for all work in Arlington.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single piece of material hits the ground: this protects the surface of your driveway. If the 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 volume of your debris, the weight of the load, and where the roll-off sits in Arlington. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; 40-yard or jobsite construction debris containers are for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy C&D debris fills a container by tonnage before volume: masonry and asphalt hit that threshold early; household items and wood scrap fill the box long before the weight limit stops the load.

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 in Arlington with your site.
