Compare sizes

Most projects in the Anchorage area fit into one of four roll-off sizes: the right choice depends on the volume of debris; the container size also relies on your available driveway space.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Anchorage 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 Anchorage projects like garage cleanouts or single-room remodels: we set it on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit fits a typical household load. The compact roll-off fits tight driveways with room for debris.

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 small bin 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 Anchorage 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 Anchorage metro: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. This container has a 22-foot length; its 4,000-pound rating handles shingles with framing scrap for your residential site.

The 20-yard container is the go-to for mid-size jobs: whole-house decluttering, roof tear-offs, and a full week of remodel debris hauled in a single trip. One swap out covers week-two demo work without extra pickups.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Anchorage 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 large projects in Anchorage: it handles home additions, full-house remodels, and framing debris. You can pair this container with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for efficient cleanup work on your property.

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

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Anchorage 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 work in Anchorage: we drop this bin with a hooklift truck—its 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris for your site so you avoid the cost of a second haul.

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

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—because these dense materials fill a roll-off faster than roofing tear-off square sizing suggests. Our team monitors EPA construction and demolition material management standards throughout Anchorage to ensure proper disposal of your heavy debris on every site.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the surface: this prevents damage to your property. If a 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 container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where you set the roll-off in Anchorage. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard fits remodels; only demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like concrete and brick hit tonnage limits long before the container is full: drywall and C&D debris fill the box by volume; always size for the limit you will hit first.

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 bin is for a commercial lot. Send a photo of your site to our dispatcher.
