Most projects in the Longmont area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right container depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the driveway space.

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 handles the usual household jobs: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, and small yard projects in Longmont. We set the bin on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit fits a typical load of packed debris.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for dense C&D debris; the decision is simple: high tonnage from a single-story roof tear-off fills the container quickly. This size works for small projects, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in a different way.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Longmont 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 Longmont metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. Its 22-foot length fits on most residential drives; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: it clears whole-house decluttering, a mid-size roof tear-off, and the debris a remodel crew pulls for week-long demo and finish work in a single swap out.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Longmont 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 is built for major projects in Longmont: home additions, full-house remodels, and estate cleanouts. The container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for multi-week jobs; the taller walls provide the volume your crew needs.

The 30-Yard Roll-Off Container handles Longmont home additions, full-kitchen remodels, and weeklong jobsite output.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Longmont 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 massive bin works for commercial projects but towers over residential driveways

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

The 40-yard roll-off handles high volumes for new construction and major commercial cleanouts: crews often combine this bin with a smaller container when site clearing runs in parallel with the build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials hit the 10,000-pound capacity long before a standard roll-off looks full. This equipment differs from roofing tear-off square sizing in Longmont. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for your site.

We set the lowboy on driveway boards to protect your concrete before any material is loaded. If your 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? Picking the right container depends on three factors: the volume of your debris, the weight, and where the roll-off sits in Longmont; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard fits a remodel; and for demolitions, use jobsite construction debris containers or a 40-yard.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like concrete reach the tonnage limit of a container before filling the box: plan for weight with masonry or C&D debris; use a larger bin for bulky household items to maximize the volume.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; the 30-yard container needs overhead clearance for the truck mast: a 40-yard size is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher with your site in view.
