Tear-off shingles from a 1,800 sq ft roof
Dallas, TX
A small roll-off can be the right fit for heavy debris, partial cleanouts, and projects where driveway space is limited.
Final pricing depends on delivery distance, debris weight, rental period, landfill fees, and local provider availability. Use these ranges as a planning baseline before requesting quotes.
| Size | Best for | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| 2-8 yard | Recurring commercial trash service and small business waste | $90 - $310/mo |
| 10 yard | Basement, attic, concrete, small roofing jobs | $285 - $415 |
| 15 yard | Room remodels, deck removal, medium cleanouts | $330 - $475 |
| 20 yard | Whole-home cleanouts and most remodels | $375 - $535 |
| 30 yard | Construction debris and large renovations | $465 - $665 |
| 40 yard | Major builds, commercial debris, bulky loads | $535 - $760 |
The right size depends on volume, material weight, and how easy the debris is to load. Bulky junk and heavy debris behave very differently.
Sizing up can be cheaper than ordering a second dumpster if the job has bulky furniture, mixed construction debris, or a larger cleanout scope.
Smaller containers are often better for concrete, dirt, brick, shingles, or tight delivery areas where weight and placement matter more than volume.
These are example requests used to show the matching flow, not guaranteed live jobs.

These answers keep the estimate grounded in local pricing, size fit, and project rules.
A 20 yard dumpster is a common fit for home cleanouts and remodels, while a 10 yard can work for smaller or heavier debris projects.
Usually not without limits. Concrete, dirt, brick, and shingles can hit weight limits quickly, so providers often recommend a smaller container.
You may need a swap-out or second rental, which can cost more than choosing the right size up front.
