Compare sizes

Most projects in Allentown fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load, and space in the driveway; a container works.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Allentown concrete driveway, mid-day sunlight, clean and ready for a garage cleanout.

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 is ideal for garage cleanouts and single-room remodels in Allentown: it fits tight driveways with a compact footprint, and the 2,000-pound weight limit handles household debris. We set the bin on driveway boards to protect your pavement during loading.

A 10-yard roll-off is for dense materials: the call is simple: heavy tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a container before the volume looks full; this works for a single-story roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in Allentown.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Allentown 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 Allentown metro: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. This container features a 22-foot length; it also carries a 4,000-pound rating for your mixed framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container moves whole-house decluttering and mid-size roof tear-offs in a single load, and a single swap-out covers a full week of demolition and finishing work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Allentown 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 provides the volume needed for major home projects in Allentown: it holds framing scraps and debris for weeks. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for clearing out large estate cleanouts; it works.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen and full-bath remodels, plus weeklong job sites throughout Allentown.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Allentown 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 capacity bin for commercial sites often too tall for residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition in the Allentown metro: we drop this bin with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to keep the job moving without a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off is our largest container sized for new construction and major commercial cleanouts; crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when site clearing runs in parallel.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a heavy-duty lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—because these materials fill a standard roll-off too quickly compared to roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when clearing sites in Allentown. Our lowboy handles these dense loads for your project.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects the concrete 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 a container in Allentown depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight of the load, and where to place the roll-off; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; and demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy materials like concrete or C&D debris hit the tonnage limit of a container quickly: choose your box based on the material density; masonry fills the space before the volume is even full.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Our placement rules depend on the size of your container: a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; a 30-yard needs overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher.
