A 20 yard dumpster size measures about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4 to 5 feet tall, and it holds roughly 8 pickup truck loads of debris. This 20 yard roll-off dumpster rental works as a 20 yard trash dumpster for most home projects. Southfield Porta Pros prices these by the day, week, or month, with day rates starting around 51 dollars and week rates starting around 426 dollars. Most kitchen remodels and roof tear-offs fit inside one bin.
The 20 yard dumpster measurements run about 22 feet by 8 feet on the ground, standing 4 to 5 feet at the wall, and those dumpster sizes 20 yard specs hold steady across most 20 yard roll-off dumpster units on the market. That's a real jump up from a 10 yard dumpster rental, which is closer to a single-car garage's worth of debris, but smaller than a 30 yard dumpster rental meant for whole-house cleanouts. If you're not sure which size fits your job, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page breaks down all four options side by side. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point to place the bin safely, so a long driveway or open lot in Southfield works better than a tight alley. Homeowners in Oak Park, 4.9 miles east of Southfield, and Redford, 7.6 miles south, order this size most often for flooring jobs and detached garage demolitions. Before you load anything, check what cannot go in a dumpster, since paint cans, tires, and certain chemicals get rejected at the landfill and can cost you extra.
| duration | low | typical | high |

| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
A day rate covers a quick cleanout, a week rate suits a bathroom remodel, and a month rate makes sense for a slower renovation where debris piles up gradually. Delivery is billed separately, and that fee typically lands in the 100 to 150 dollar range for a standard drop-off.

Overloading past the fill line or tossing in heavy material like concrete or shingles can trigger extra charges, so it's worth reading dumpster weight limits before you start tossing debris. Renters working a construction site in Southfield should also check dumpster permit requirements, since placement on a street or right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day.
Placement on your own driveway or yard typically doesn't need one, but street or right-of-way placement needs confirming with the City of Southfield before delivery. We haven't verified a specific ordinance number for this, so call ahead if the bin has to sit at the curb. Job sites tied to active construction often have separate site sanitation needs too. OSHA 1926.51(c) requires toilet facilities for crews on-site, one per 20 workers or fewer, and pairing a dumpster with a portable toilet rental or a full construction site services package keeps a jobsite compliant and organized. Housekeeping rules under OSHA 1926.25 also call for debris to be cleared from work areas regularly, which is exactly the job a roll-off handles. If your project spans towns, we service Birmingham 7.2 miles northeast and Bloomfield 8.9 miles north from our Southfield base, so scheduling delivery across the area isn't a problem.
It holds about 8 pickup truck loads, enough for a mid-size kitchen remodel, a roof tear-off on an average home, or a garage cleanout. Heavier material like shingles or concrete fills the weight limit before it fills the box, so check dumpster weight limits first.
Day, week, and month terms are all available, and a longer rental never costs less per day than a short one. Most renovation jobs in Southfield book a week; faster cleanouts book a single day. See roll-off dumpster rental for booking details.
