Most projects in the Lexington metro fit one of four roll-off sizes: the right container choice depends on the volume of debris; the weight of the load matters for the driveway space.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Lexington 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 fits tight Lexington driveways, handling garage cleanouts or single-room remodels. We place it on driveway boards to protect your surface, with a 2,000-pound limit for household debris. Holds attic clear-outs or small yard projects.

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

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Lexington 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 Lexington metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits your residential driveway; the 4,000-pound rating handles mixed shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the go-to for mid-size projects: it hauls whole-house decluttering and mid-size roof tear-offs in one load, and a single swap out keeps a week-long demo and finish crew moving.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Lexington 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

The 30-yard dumpster is built for major projects in Lexington: home additions, full-house remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for large-scale work; the tall walls provide the volume your crews need.

The 30-yard roll-off handles Lexington home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong job-site debris.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Lexington 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: too tall for residential driveways, best suited for commercial sites and large lots.

The 40-yard container handles large demolition and commercial projects in the Lexington metro: we drop it with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to keep the site clear without a second haul.

Our largest standard roll-off is sized for new construction and major commercial cleanouts: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with building.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced Lowboy: these dense materials hit the max rating—10,000 pounds—fast compared to light roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for your Lexington site to keep the roll-off safe for the road.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the floor: this protects your concrete from damage. 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? Picking a container in Lexington depends on three factors: the volume of your debris, the weight, and where the roll-off sits on your property; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard suits remodels; only demolitions need a 40-yard or jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like concrete require caution: you will hit the Tonnage cap before the container is full; conversely, C&D debris or household junk fills the box volume long before reaching the weight limit.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; a 30-yard container requires overhead clearance for the truck mast: a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo of your site to our dispatcher.
