Compare sizes

Most projects in Chattanooga 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 you have for a container.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Chattanooga 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 fits tight driveways for garage cleanouts or small projects in Chattanooga. We use driveway boards to protect your surface. The 2,000-pound limit handles typical household loads like attic clear-outs or single-room remodels.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for dense C&D debris: the call is simple: heavy tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a small container before the volume looks full; use this 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 Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, or large flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits on your residential drive; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: it clears whole-house decluttering and a mid-size roof tear-off in one haul, and a single swap out covers week-two demo and finish work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Chattanooga 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 and full-house remodels in Chattanooga: the tall walls provide needed volume for framing crews. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for clearing your estate junk on long projects.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen and full-bath remodels, and weeklong Chattanooga job site debris.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Chattanooga 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 large commercial sites but too tall for most residential driveways

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Chattanooga metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to haul it in one trip.

The 40-yard roll-off serves large commercial projects and new construction: crews often pair the container with a smaller yard-debris bin when the clearing runs in parallel with the main build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil often bottom out a standard roll-off—a 10,000-pound Lowboy is required for these dense materials: it handles heavy loads better than the lighter roofing tear-off square sizing. Our crews in Chattanooga follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when setting this low-wall container for your job.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single load of debris hits the ground: 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 a container in Chattanooga depends on three factors: the volume of your debris, the weight, and where the roll-off sits on your property; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; only demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense C&D debris hits capacity limits differently: concrete and masonry reach the permitted tonnage of a container quickly; household junk fills the volume of a box long before you reach the weight limit.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; a 30-yard container needs overhead clearance for the truck mast: a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to the dispatcher with your driveway in view.
