20-Yard Dumpster Rental Joliet IL
The 20 yard roll off dumpster is the most popular size in Joliet because it is big enough for major cleanups and remodels while still fitting in most driveways. If you are handling a whole home cleanout, multi room renovation, roofing up to about 50 squares, or a large landscaping project, this is the dependable do it all container.
What Is a 20-Yard Dumpster
A 20 yard dumpster holds 20 cubic yards of debris, which is about 6 pickup truck loads or roughly 110 to 130 standard 33 gallon trash bags. It offers an excellent balance of volume, footprint, and cost for residential and light commercial projects.
- Typical dimensions are about 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 4.5 feet high.
- Standard weight allowance is usually 3 to 4 tons depending on debris type and location.
- Driveway friendly and fits most Joliet driveways and alley approaches.
Is a 20-Yard Dumpster Right for Your Project
The 20 yard dumpster is the workhorse size for many Joliet projects.
| Common Dumpster Projects |
|---|
| Whole home cleanouts with furniture, bags, and mixed junk |
| Multi room renovations with drywall, wood, cabinets, and flooring |
| Roofing jobs up to around 50 squares of shingles and underlayment |
| Large landscaping with branches, shrubs, and green waste |
| Light demolition including framing, doors, and windows |
If more than half of your debris is tile, plaster, concrete, or dirt, a 10 yard dumpster may be better for weight control. If you have very bulky materials or a larger scope, consider a 30 yard dumpster.

How Much Weight Can a 20-Yard Dumpster Hold
Most 20 yard dumpsters include 3 to 4 tons of weight. Some materials are dense and can reach the limit before the container looks full.
- Plan by weight as well as volume
- Load evenly from front to back and side to side
- Keep all debris below the top rail
- For concrete, soil, or brick, consider a 10 yard or split loads
