Is a 20-Yard the Right Size?
A 20-yard is right for
- A kitchen or bath remodel
- A roofing tear-off
- General construction debris on a job site
A 20-yard is wrong for
- A single small room, you're paying for space you won't use
- Clean concrete or dirt on its own, that goes in a smaller dumpster at a different rate
What a 20-Yard Dumpster Is Really For
The 20-yard is the workhorse. Kitchen and bath remodels, roofing tear-offs, and general construction debris all end up in a 20, and it's the size contractors order by default. Shingles run heavy, so on a big roof tell us the square count and we'll make sure 2 tons covers it or set you up differently.
At 14.5 feet long with 5-foot walls it still fits most driveways, and it's the size we stock the most of, which matters when you need a swap mid-job.

Call (803) 408-9990Will a 20-Yard Fit in My Driveway?
The 20 runs 14 and a half feet, about the length of a pickup, so a standard driveway handles it. If cars need to get past while it's there, say so when you order and the driver sets it to one side.
What Fills a 20-Yard Before the Weight Does
Two tons covers a kitchen or a roof on most houses. The job that goes over is a big roof, shingles are heavy. When you book a roofing job, tell us the squares and we'll tell you if the 20 holds it.

Great rental. Dumpster was dropped on time and the driver placed the designated area perfectly.

Zack is very responsive, respectful, and responsible. He immediately found a way to deliver next day after my call. I know that’s not always possible but an amazing crew and team he has. They get the job done. I’d give him a 10+*

What fits in a 20-yard dumpster?

How much does a 20-yard dumpster cost in Columbia?
A 20-yard quote is exact to your order. Pull yours up on the booking page or call (803) 408-9990.
How long do I get the 20-yard for?
14 days comes with it. A remodel that runs past two weeks is normal, not a problem: tell us where the job stands and we'll price the added days instead of yanking the dumpster out from under you.
Where do you deliver 20-yard dumpsters?
Everywhere we run: Columbia, the Midlands, and out to Sumter, Florence, Aiken, and Greenville. No size is limited to certain towns. See the service areas.
Will a 20-yard dumpster fit in my driveway?
Most driveways, yes. It's 14.5 ft long, about the length of two pickup trucks. If your driveway is short, on a slope, or gravel, say so when you book and the driver will pick the spot with you.
Can I put concrete or dirt in a 20-yard?
Heavy material like concrete and dirt belongs in a smaller dumpster priced for the weight, not the 20-yard. A quick call lines up the right one at the right rate.
If we missed something here, ask us by phone.
