What a 20-yard holds
About six pickup loads. A kitchen and a bathroom torn out together fit, and so does a full house of furniture after a move or an estate sale. So does a large roof, or one with two layers of shingles.
We recommend it more than any other size because it covers the widest range of home jobs in one trip. Where people run into trouble is heavy material. A 20 full of concrete or dirt is too heavy to haul, so those loads go in a 10.

If your job is on this list, a 20 should handle it.
| The job | Fits a 20? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel | Yes | Cabinets, counters, appliances and drywall. |
| Whole-house cleanout | Yes | A full house of furniture and belongings. |
| Renovation across several rooms | Yes | Demo and debris from multiple rooms. |
| Large or two-layer roof | Yes | The step up from a 15 for bigger tear-offs. |
| New construction or demolition | No | Framing and structural demo need a 30. |
| Concrete, dirt or brick | No | Too heavy for a 20. Book a 10. |
Torn between a 20 and a 30? Take the 30. The extra room costs less than a second haul.
The box fills up on day two
Demo always makes more debris than people expect. The kitchen comes out, then somebody decides the flooring goes too, and the 20 is full with half the job left.
You don't have to stop work when that happens. Let us know and we'll swap it, taking the full one away and dropping an empty one in the same spot. If you already know the job is big, a 30 from the start can save you the swap.
Check the space
A 20 takes up most of a two-car driveway, plus room for the truck to back in.
Street or driveway
On your own driveway you usually don't need a permit. On the street, many cities want one.
Keep heavy stuff separate
Concrete and dirt go in their own 10-yard, not in the 20.

Boards under the rails if you want them. Swap it partway through, or keep it until the work is done.
