Compare sizes

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

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

A 10-yard roll-off is the right call for dense C&D debris: the decision is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full; use this for a 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, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits on your residential driveway; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles with framing scrap.

That 20-Yard Container handles mid-size projects—whole-house cleanouts or roof tear-offs—in one trip, with extra space to keep multi-day demolition work on track. Same-day delivery available across Paterson and Passaic County.

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

A 30-yard dumpster is built for major projects in Paterson: home additions, full-house remodels, and estate cleanouts. The 30-yard pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your job; the tall sides provide volume for mixed debris.

A 30-yard roll-off handles Paterson home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels plus 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 40-yard bin for commercial sites which exceeds most residential driveway height clearances

The 40-yard container handles new construction and demolition across Paterson: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—and the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris, which helps to finish the job without ordering a second bin.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial cleanouts: crews often pair the container with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build on your project.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials hit the 10,000-pound threshold—far before the bin looks full—compared to standard roofing tear-off square sizing. We operate in Paterson following EPA construction and demolition material management standards with a short-walled container for easy loading.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single piece of debris hits the pavement: this protects the surface 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 depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where we set the roll-off in Paterson. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; only large demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry and C&D debris hit the Tonnage limit before the container fills: concrete and brick are heavy; household junk fills the volume of a box before you reach the weight for the load.

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