Compare sizes

Most projects in the Wilmington metro fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right pick depends on the volume of debris; the weight of the container matters for your driveway layout.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Wilmington 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-scale jobs in Wilmington: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your pavement, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits a typical household load with room to spare.

A 10-yard roll-off is for small, heavy loads: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a 10-yard container before the volume looks full; it is ideal 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 Wilmington 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 Wilmington metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot container fits on your residential drive; it holds a 4,000-pound load of shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the practical choice for mid-size projects. It hauls whole-house decluttering and mid-size roof tear-offs in one load; a single swap out covers the full week of demo and finish work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Wilmington 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 ideal for your renovation in Wilmington: it handles framing scrap and heavy debris. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for large projects; the taller walls provide the volume needed for full cleanouts.

The 30-yard roll-off keeps Wilmington home additions, full-kitchen and full-bath remodels on schedule without daily trips to the landfill.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Wilmington 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: this 40-yard bin is for large commercial sites and too tall for driveways.

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition work in the Wilmington metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—an 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris without the need to haul a second bin.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial projects and new construction debris: we often pair this bin with smaller containers when the site clearing runs in parallel with the main build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials hit the 10,000-pound threshold—far before the container looks full—unlike light roofing tear-off square sizing. In Wilmington, we follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards to ensure your heavy site debris is handled safely.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the surface: this protects your pavement from cracking. 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 of the load, and where you place it in Wilmington; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; and demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Concrete and masonry hit the tonnage limit of a container before the box is full; C&D debris or household junk fills volume first: consider the material weight to choose the right size for the job.

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 is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher in Wilmington to confirm your placement.
