Container Size Details for Longview Jobs
10-Yard Dumpster
The 10-yard roll-off is the smallest container we carry. At roughly 14 feet long and 3.5 feet tall, it fits in most driveways and is easy to load without a ladder. It holds the equivalent of about 3 pickup truck beds of debris. Best for small bathroom or laundry room demo, a single-car garage cleanout, or a small shed tear-down. Not ideal for roofing unless the structure is very small.
15-Yard Dumpster
The 15-yard sits between small and mid-size. It holds about 4.5 pickup truck beds of material and works well for garage cleanouts, small landscaping projects, and smaller roofing jobs on structures under 1,000 square feet. This is a popular size for Longview homeowners tackling weekend projects.
20-Yard Dumpster
The 20-yard is our most popular size for residential projects. It handles full home cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, standard roofing tear-offs on homes up to 2,000 square feet, and flooring removal throughout a full house. At 22 feet long and 4.5 feet tall, it fits on most Longview driveways with driveway boards underneath.
30-Yard Dumpster
The 30-yard is the go-to for larger residential jobs and light commercial work. Large estate cleanouts, roofing on bigger homes or multi-layer tear-offs, and new home construction framing waste all fit well in a 30-yard. It requires a longer driveway or a flat area beside the home.
40-Yard Dumpster
The 40-yard is our largest container. Commercial demolition, large apartment cleanouts, and major construction sites with ongoing debris output are the typical applications. It requires ample access space and is mainly used by contractors and property managers in the Longview area.
How to Choose the Right Size Without Overpaying
The most common mistake is renting a container that is too small and having to call for a second one, which costs more than sizing up in the first place. Our advice: when you are between two sizes, go with the larger one. The extra capacity costs less than a second delivery and pickup.
Call us and describe your project. We will ask about square footage, number of rooms, debris type, and project duration, and recommend the right size. We would rather put the right box on your driveway than have you pay for two small ones.
Weight matters too. Dense materials like concrete, brick, and asphalt shingles take up less volume but weigh a lot. A container that looks half-full of concrete can already be at its weight limit. Tell us what you are loading and we will set the right weight allowance upfront.
