Most projects in the Allentown metro fit one of four roll-off sizes: the right container choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and your driveway space.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Allentown 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 Allentown: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the dumpster on driveway boards to protect your pavement, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits most household debris loads.

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

The 20-yard container is the go-to for mid-size projects: whole-house decluttering, a mid-size roof tear-off, and full week-long demo and finish jobs. A single swap out keeps everything moving without extra trips.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Allentown 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 suits large projects in Allentown: home additions, full remodels, and estate cleanouts. The 6,000-pound capacity handles mixed debris; this container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your jobsite needs.

A 30-yard roll-off holds everything for home additions or full-kitchen and full-bath remodels around Allentown.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Allentown 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: for large commercial sites as this bin exceeds typical residential driveway clearance

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition across the Allentown metro: we drop it with a hooklift truck—and the 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris to keep your site clear without a second pull.

The 40-yard roll-off is our largest container sized for new construction and major commercial cleanouts; crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when site clearing runs in parallel.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards in Allentown to ensure your dense C&D debris is handled safely by our specialized fleet.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single piece of debris hits the surface: this protects your concrete from damage. If the job mixes demolition concrete with a home tear-out — we pair the lowboy with a residential container.

Choosing the Right Roll-off Size for Your Project

Which size fits your project? Picking a container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where the roll-off sits in Allentown. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard handles a remodel; 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 of a container fast; drywall and household items fill the box volume before the weight. Size your container for the constraint you will encounter 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 belongs in a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher with your site to confirm.
