Roll-off dumpster sizes

Wondering which roll-off fits your job in Fargo? At Dumpster & Roll-Off Container Rental, we provide 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-yard sizes; we use a precise hooklift for placement—plus, we handle every swap out for your container project.

Compare sizes

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

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Fargo 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 roll-off handles small projects in Fargo: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the bin on driveway boards to protect your surface, with a 2,000-pound weight limit for typical household debris.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call 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 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 Fargo 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 Fargo area: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot container fits on your residential drive; it features a 4,000-pound rating for shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container handles the mid-size job straight on: whole-house clutter, a moderate roof tear-off, and a week’s demo plus finish work in a single swap out.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Fargo 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 provides volume for large projects in Fargo: home additions, full-house remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options; the tall walls hold plenty of framing debris on your job site.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen and full-bath remodels, and weeklong jobsite output across Fargo.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Fargo 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: 40-yard bin for large commercial sites, generally too tall for residential driveways.

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition across the Fargo metro: we drop this bin with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to keep the site clear on long jobs.

The 40-yard roll-off is built for new construction and large commercial cleanouts: our crews often pair it with a smaller bin when site clearing runs in parallel with the main build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy materials—concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil—require a reinforced lowboy for loading because they exceed standard roll-off capacity quickly. We size these containers differently than your roofing tear-off square sizing projects. Following EPA construction and demolition material management standards, our Fargo fleet ensures safe, compliant disposal for your site.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the surface: this protects your concrete from damage. If a project 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? Picking a container in Fargo comes down to three factors: volume of debris, weight, and where to place the roll-off; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; and only demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Concrete and brick hit the tonnage of a container fast; C&D debris and household junk fill the volume of a box before the max load: always choose the right bin for the material.

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 our dispatcher with your driveway in view.
