Compare sizes

Most projects in the San Marcos area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right container depends on the volume of debris; the weight of the load matters for the driveway space.

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 jobs in San Marcos: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the dumpster on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits a typical household load.

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 size works well for a roof tear-off; whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in a bin.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation San Marcos 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 San Marcos metro: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and mid-size roof tear-offs. Its 22-foot length fits most residential driveways; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container handles most mid-size projects with one swap-out, including estate clean-outs, roof tear-offs, or a week of remodel debris. Call (512) 991-0619 for delivery and pickup.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a San Marcos 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 handles large projects in San Marcos: home additions, full-house remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for multi-week jobs; the taller walls provide the volume your crew requires.

The 30-yard roll-off handles San Marcos home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and multi-day job site debris.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large San Marcos 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: too tall for residential driveways, best suited for commercial sites and large lots.

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition in the San Marcos metro: we drop this bin with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris without a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial projects: crews often pair this bin with smaller units when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build to keep the work moving.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Dense materials like concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—to prevent overloading the bin compared to standard roofing tear-off square sizing. In San Marcos, we follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for the disposal of your heavy C&D debris.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single piece of debris hits the surface: this protects the concrete 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 in San Marcos depends on three factors: the volume of your debris, the weight of the load, and where to place the roll-off; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard fits remodels; and 40-yard jobsite construction debris containers are for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy masonry, concrete, and C&D debris hit their Tonnage limit before the container is full: prioritize weight for these materials; conversely, household junk fills a box with volume 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 requires overhead clearance for the truck mast: a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher with your driveway in view.
