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".
