Compare sizes

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

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Wilmington 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 handles smaller jobs across Wilmington: garage cleanouts, attic clear-outs, or single-room remodels. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits a typical household project.

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

A 20-yard container is built for mid-size projects; it pulls whole-house decluttering or a mid-size roof tear-off in a single haul, and a single swap out covers week-two demo and finish work on site.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Wilmington 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 is built for serious home projects in Wilmington: it handles framing scrap, full-house remodels, and large estate cleanouts; this container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your next multi-week construction job.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong Wilmington jobsite cleanup.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Wilmington 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 handles large demolition and new construction in the Wilmington area: we drop the unit 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 handles new construction and major commercial cleanouts: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with building work on the property.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for these heavy loads in Wilmington. These containers feature short side walls to assist with loading.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single piece of debris hits the surface: this protects your driveway from damage. 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? Picking the right roll-off depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where to place the container; a 10 or 20-yard works for most in Wilmington; a 30-yard handles a remodel; and demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense C&D debris like concrete hits the tonnage limit before filling the container: use this rule for all material types; when in doubt, choose a larger box size to compensate for the volume.

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 bin is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher with your driveway in view.
