Compare sizes

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

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Chattanooga 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 the usual Chattanooga cleanouts: garage sweep-outs, single-room remodels, and attic clearings. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits a typical household load of junk.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal for specific C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a small container before the volume looks full. This size 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 Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga metro: whole-house decluttering and mid-size roof tear-offs. The 22-foot length fits on your residential drive; the 4,000-pound rating handles a load of shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the go-to for mid-size jobs. It clears a whole house or a mid-size roof tear-off in one haul, and a single swap out keeps the week-two demo and finish work rolling without delay.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Chattanooga 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 handles large projects in Chattanooga: home additions and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for multi-week jobs; the taller walls provide space for your framing crews to load bulky debris.

The 30-yard roll-off handles Chattanooga home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong job sites.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Chattanooga 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 commercial sites and large lots but too tall for residential driveways.

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Chattanooga metro: we drop each unit with a hooklift truck—and the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to finish the job.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial cleanouts: crews often pair this bin with smaller containers for yard waste when site clearing runs in parallel with the construction work on your project.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete and dirt require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—to handle: asphalt, brick, and packed soil. This equipment differs from the lighter roofing tear-off square sizing used in Chattanooga. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards to ensure your site stays compliant while you load the container.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material 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 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 of the load, and where you place the roll-off in Chattanooga; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; and 40-yard jobsite construction debris containers are for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry creates a rule for your container: the dense tonnage of C&D debris hits capacity before the box is full; light junk fills the volume first, so choose a size for the limit.

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 site in view.
