Compare sizes

Most projects in South San Francisco fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room on the container.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential South San Francisco 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 small-scale projects across South San Francisco: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, and attic clear-outs. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your surface, with a 2,000-pound weight limit for typical household debris.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal for dense C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full. This bin 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 South San Francisco 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 South San Francisco metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits residential drives; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: it hauls whole-house decluttering and a mid-size roof tear-off in one load; a single swap out covers the full week of demo and finish work on site.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a South San Francisco 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

A 30-yard dumpster is built for your South San Francisco jobsite: use this container for home additions or full-house remodels; it pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for large estate cleanouts on a multi-week timeline.

A 30-yard roll-off keeps South San Francisco home additions and full-kitchen or full-bath remodels moving without a hitch.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large South San Francisco 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 commercial sites only as this bin is too tall for residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition work in South San Francisco: 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 large commercial cleanouts: crews often pair it with a smaller bin when the clearing of a construction site runs in parallel with the work on the build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced Lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—because these materials bottom out a standard Roll-Off long before it looks full. This equipment differs from roofing tear-off square sizing, and we follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for all waste in South San Francisco.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the floor: this protects the surface 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 the right container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight of your load, and where we set the roll-off in South San Francisco; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; and demolitions need jobsite construction debris containers or a 40-yard.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry materials hit the tonnage threshold of a container before filling the box; consider this rule for C&D debris: prioritize the capacity of the container when dealing with heavy materials in the project.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Placement depends on your container size. A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits most residential drives. A 30-yard needs overhead clearance, while a 40-yard belongs in a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher for help.
