20-Yard Dumpster for Renovations & Large Projects
The 20-yard dumpster is PDX Dumpster's largest and most requested container, making it a strong fit for larger renovations, estate cleanouts, roofing, flooring removal, deck and fence tear-outs, and contractor projects.
When bulky materials and higher-volume debris are expected, the 20-yard provides more room while keeping the residential benefits of our trailer-style dumpster system.
More Room for Renovation Debris
Larger remodels and cleanouts can fill a smaller dumpster quickly, especially when the project includes cabinetry, flooring, drywall, doors, framing, furniture, or other bulky material.
The 20-yard dumpster provides additional volume for projects where the debris is expected to build quickly.
Projects That Often Fit the 20-Yard
The right size always depends on the actual material and project volume, but common uses include:
- Multi-room renovations
- Estate and whole-home cleanouts
- Large deck and fence tear-outs
- Roofing projects
- Flooring removal
- Construction and contractor debris

Driveway-Friendly Delivery
Our trailer-style dumpsters use rubber tires and driveway protection boards to help reduce the risk of scraping or damaging residential surfaces.
Placement depends on driveway condition, slope, access, turning room, overhead clearance, and other site conditions.
Learn about driveway protection →Dense Materials Need a Different Approach
Concrete, dirt, brick, gravel, rock, and similar dense material should not automatically be loaded into a 20-yard dumpster.
These materials usually require the smaller 7-yard heavy-material dumpster because weight builds much faster than volume.

Common 20-Yard Project Questions
What is a 20-yard dumpster best for on a large project?
A 20-yard dumpster works well for larger renovations, estate cleanouts, roofing, deck and fence tear-outs, flooring removal, and other higher-volume residential or contractor projects.
Is the 20-yard dumpster your most popular size?
Yes. The 20-yard dumpster is our most requested size overall because it provides more capacity for renovations, cleanouts, construction debris, and other larger projects.
How much debris fits in a 20-yard dumpster?
A 20-yard dumpster holds approximately 20 cubic yards of material, or roughly 8 pickup-truck loads depending on material type and how the dumpster is loaded.
How long is the standard rental?
The standard rental period is 4 days. Additional time may be available depending on scheduling and dumpster availability.
How are disposal fees handled?
Disposal is billed separately at the actual disposal facility cost based on material type and weight. PDX Dumpster does not mark up disposal fees.
Can concrete or dirt go in a 20-yard dumpster?
Dense materials such as concrete, dirt, brick, gravel, and rock should be discussed with us before loading. These materials generally require the smaller 7-yard heavy-material dumpster.
Can a 20-yard dumpster be placed on a residential driveway?
Our trailer-style dumpsters use rubber tires and driveway protection boards to help reduce the risk of damage. Placement depends on driveway condition, slope, access, and available maneuvering space.
