Compare sizes

Most projects in Livermore fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room you have for a container.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Livermore 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 Container works well for tight Livermore driveways during garage cleanouts or small remodeling jobs. We set them on driveway-protecting boards, with a 2,000-pound weight limit that handles typical household debris. See sizes for exact dimensions and placement guidelines.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal for dense C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full; it works for a single-story roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in a driveway.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Livermore 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 Livermore: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. This container has a 22-foot length to fit on residential drives; it holds a 4,000-pound load of shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size jobs: it hauls whole-house decluttering or a mid-size roof tear-off in a single load. A single swap out covers week-two demo and finish work on a remodel crew’s schedule.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Livermore 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 built for home additions and full-house remodels in Livermore: the taller walls provide space for framing crews. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for large estate cleanouts; the 6,000-pound capacity handles debris.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong Livermore job sites without delay.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Livermore 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: handles commercial sites and large lots but sits too high for residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles large demolition and new construction in the Livermore metro: we drop this unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to keep the site clean on long jobs.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial projects and new construction: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with building on the property.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and dirt 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 throughout Livermore to handle these dense materials: our low profile containers allow for easy loading in your driveway.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the surface: this prevents damage to your concrete. 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 container fits your project? Selecting the right roll-off in Livermore depends on three factors: volume, weight, and placement; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; and large demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry materials fill a container by tonnage before volume: concrete and C&D debris hit the scale early; household items fill the box first with light loads so plan for the limit you reach.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; however, clearance requirements vary: a 30-yard container needs room for the truck mast; a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher for your placement.
