Most projects in the Southfield area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; the container must fit on the driveway.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Southfield 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-scale cleanouts in Southfield: garage clear-outs, single-room remodels, or attic sweeps. We set the bin on driveway boards to protect your surface, 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; this works for a roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Southfield 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 Southfield metro: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. This 22-foot container handles 4,000-pound loads; it accommodates mixed shingles with framing scrap for your residential site.

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: a single load clears whole-house clutter or a mid-size roof tear-off, and one swap out keeps a week-long remodel crew moving from demo to finish work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Southfield 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 Southfield projects: home additions, full-house remodels, and large estate cleanouts. The 30-yard pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options; the taller walls provide space for framing crews to clear their construction debris.

A 30-yard roll-off handles whole-home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong Southfield job sites.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Southfield 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: large enough for commercial sites but usually too tall for residential driveways.

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition in the Southfield area: we drop it with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris for your project to prevent the need for additional hauls.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial cleanouts: crews often pair it with a smaller bin when site clearing runs in parallel with the build to keep the project on schedule.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a heavy-duty lowboy: these materials bottom out a standard roll-off long before it looks full. This equipment is rated for 10,000 pounds—far denser than typical roofing tear-off square sizing—while meeting all Southfield EPA construction and demolition material management standards for your site.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects the surface of your driveway from damage. If a 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? Choosing the right container depends on three factors: volume of debris, weight, and placement on your driveway; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most in Southfield; a 30-yard is for remodels; larger demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry materials hit the Tonnage limit before the container fills: concrete and brick require smaller loads; drywall or C&D debris fill the box with volume first, so choose your container for the constraint.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives: the 30-yard container needs overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to the dispatcher in Southfield, MI for your placement.
