How big is a 20 yard dumpster?

A 20 yard dumpster is a waste container that measures approximately 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 3.5 to 4.5 feet tall.  It can hold up to 20 cubic yards of trash, which is equivalent to about 8 pickup truck loads.

A 20 yard is a very popular size.  There are two main reasons for this popularity.  First, it's large but it's not very tall.  A 20 is capable of holding a large amount of trash and junk, but being only about 3.5 to 4 feet tall (typically), it's very easy to throw trash and junk into the dumpster over the side.  The second reason a 20 yard is so popular is because of its affordability.  Since this is one of the most common sizes, the price is generally very close to some of the smaller sizes.  This is why at Trash Daddy we say that in dumpster rental "bigger is usually better".

How much is a 20 yard dumpster?

The price for a 20 yard ranges from $450 to $675 (on average), depending on the area of the country where it's delivered.  Prices can change frequently as they are directly tied to local economic prices for fuel, landfill rates, and more.  Check prices quickly and easily by giving us a call or using our live chat.

What fits in a 20 yard dumpster?

A 20 yard dumpster is the go-to size for most home projects. It typically holds:

  • Debris from medium to large remodeling projects (kitchen, bathroom, or basement)
  • Flooring, carpet, and drywall from an entire house or multiple rooms
  • Large furniture (sectionals, bedroom sets, dining tables)
  • Multiple appliances (washer, dryer, stove)
  • Roofing debris & shingles
  • Yard waste and landscaping debris from larger cleanups

This makes the 20 yard dumpster a versatile option for both residential and light commercial projects, offering plenty of space without being too tall to load easily.
