What a 20 yard dumpster is good for
A 20 yard dumpster is the size most homeowners end up renting. It handles a typical roof tear-off, a large remodel or a full house cleanout, and its walls are still low enough to toss debris over by hand.
This size is best for bulky, lighter debris. For heavy material like concrete or dirt, a smaller container is usually the better fit.
