Compare sizes

Most projects in Cary fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room available for a container.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Cary 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 bin handles smaller projects in Cary: garage cleanouts, attic clear-outs, or a single-room remodel. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your pavement, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits most household debris loads.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for dense C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete 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.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Cary 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 practical choice for your projects in Cary: it handles whole-house decluttering and mid-size roof tear-offs. The 22-foot container length fits on most residential driveways; the 4,000-pound rating safely carries shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is built for mid-size projects: a whole-house declutter or roof tear-off fits in one haul, and the same container supports a single swap out for the week-two demo and finish work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Cary 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 handles large home additions in Cary: it provides serious volume for framing crews. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for full cleanouts; the 6,000-pound limit covers your mixed construction debris.

The 30-yard roll-off keeps Cary job sites running smoothly for home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong cleanouts.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Cary 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: best for commercial sites but typically too tall for standard residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition across the Cary area: we drop this unit with a hooklift truck—its 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to keep the site clean on long jobs.

The 40-yard roll-off handles heavy new construction and major commercial projects: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the 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—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for waste disposal across Cary. These low-sided bins make loading dense debris simple for your crew.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the floor: this step protects your property. If a 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 debris, the weight of the load, and where we set the roll-off in Cary; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard handles remodels; only heavy demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense C&D debris like concrete hits the tonnage limit for a container quickly; lighter household items fill the box volume before reaching capacity: choose your size based on the density of the load.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Placement depends on size. A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits most residential drives, while a 30-yard requires overhead clearance for the truck mast. A 40-yard is for commercial lots. Send a photo to our dispatcher in Cary.
