Compare sizes

Most projects in the Paterson area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris; you must also consider the weight and space for a container.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Paterson 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 small projects across Paterson: 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 load.

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

A 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: it hauls whole-house decluttering and a modest roof tear-off in one trip, and one swap out keeps week-long demo and finish crews rolling without downtime.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Paterson 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 major projects in Paterson: home additions, full remodels, and large estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options; the tall walls provide needed volume for your construction debris.

The 30-yard roll-off handles Paterson home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong job-site debris.

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

The 40-yard container handles new construction and commercial cleanouts in the Paterson metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—its 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris, allowing you to haul large volumes without a second pull.

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

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials hit the 10,000-pound threshold quickly compared to roofing tear-off square sizing. We operate in Paterson with specialized equipment to ensure you meet EPA construction and demolition material management standards for your site. The lowboy remains the logical choice for dense debris.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single load of debris hits the surface: it protects the concrete for your property. 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 a roll-off depends on three factors: volume, weight, and placement. Most Paterson residents use a 10-yard or 20-yard container; remodels need a 30-yard; and heavy demolitions require a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers for the job.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense C&D debris hits the Tonnage limit of a container before the box is full: masonry materials fill up fast; household junk fills the volume with less weight. Size for the limit you hit first.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives: the 30-yard container needs overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard bin belongs in a commercial lot. Send a photo to your dispatcher to confirm the fit.
