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.
The 20 yard is the same length as the 30s and 40s, but it's not as tall. It still fits into most residential driveways, making it a very popular choice in dumpster rental. While the average height of a 20 yd is about 3.5 to 4 feet, that can vary across the country. Some can be shorter in length and taller, but that is not the norm.
