20 Yard Dumpster Rentals

Get the Right 20 Yard Dumpster for Your Project Today

A 20 yard dumpster is exactly what it sounds like – a container that holds 20 cubic yards of debris, making it the most popular size for Wisconsin homeowners and contractors tackling medium-sized projects. Whether you’re gutting a kitchen in Kohler, cleaning out a packed garage in Plymouth, or tearing off shingles in Sheboygan, this size dumpster hits the sweet spot between capacity and convenience.

Randy’s Cleanout & Dumpster Rental offers 20 yard dumpsters for $500 and smaller 10 yard dumpsters for $350 – no hidden fees, no surprise charges. This guide will help you figure out if a 20 yard roll off dumpster matches your project needs, what actually fits inside, and how to get one delivered to your driveway in just a few minutes of planning.

Not Sure If You Need a 20 Yard Dumpster? Here’s When It Makes Sense

We get it – choosing the right dumpster size feels like guessing sometimes. You don’t want to pay for space you won’t use, but you also don’t want to run out of room halfway through your project and need a second rental.

The 20 yard dumpster works perfectly for projects that generate more debris than a pickup truck can handle but don’t require the massive capacity of larger containers. Think of it as the “just right” option that fits most standard driveways while giving you plenty of room to work.

Here’s when a 20 yard roll off dumpster makes the most sense for Wisconsin projects:

• Kitchen or bathroom remodels – All those old cabinets, countertops, and flooring materials
• Basement or attic cleanouts – Decades of stored items, old furniture, and boxes
• Small roofing projects – Up to about 20 squares of asphalt shingles
• Garage cleanouts plus small renovations – When you’re doing multiple tasks at once
• Moving cleanouts – Getting rid of furniture, appliances, and household items you can’t take
• Yard waste from major landscaping – Tree branches, shrubs, and seasonal cleanup debris

How Our 20 Yard Dumpster Rental Works

Renting a dumpster shouldn’t be complicated. We’ve streamlined the process into four simple steps that get you from phone call to pickup without any surprises.

Step 1: Get a Quick Size & Price Recommendation
Call us or fill out our short online form with your project type and location. We’ll confirm whether the 20 yard dumpster at $500 or the smaller 10 yard at $350 better matches your debris volume, giving you a firm quote on the spot.

Step 2: Schedule Delivery & Choose a Spot
Pick your delivery date and show us where to place your container – usually your driveway works perfectly. Our truck needs about 25 feet of clear space and 15 feet of overhead clearance to safely set your roll off dumpster.

Step 3: Load Your 20 Yard Dumpster
You get the container for a full rental period to load at your own pace. Just keep debris below the fill line and don’t exceed the weight limit – we’ll explain both when we deliver.

Step 4: We Pick It Up & Handle the Dump Fees
When you’re done or your rental period ends, we haul everything to the appropriate disposal facility. You never have to visit the landfill or transfer station yourself.

20 Yard Dumpster Size and Dimensions

When we say “20 yard,” we’re talking about capacity – 20 cubic yards of space inside the container, not the physical length. The actual dimensions of our 20 yard roll off dumpster are approximately 14 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet tall

To help you picture it, that’s roughly the size of a large pickup truck plus a little extra length. The container fits comfortably in most Wisconsin driveways without hanging into the street or blocking garage access. The 6-foot height puts the top edge right around an adult’s waist, making it easy to toss debris over the sides without straining your back.

To help you picture it, that’s roughly the size of a large pickup truck plus a little extra length. The container fits comfortably in most Wisconsin driveways without hanging into the street or blocking garage access. The 4-foot height puts the top edge right around an adult’s waist, making it easy to toss debris over the sides without straining your back.

How Much Can a 20 Yard Dumpster Hold?

Twenty cubic yards translates to about 6 pickup truck loads of debris or roughly 110 to 130 standard 33-gallon trash bags. To put that in real terms, you could fit a complete kitchen remodel’s worth of cabinets, countertops, and flooring, plus some extra household junk.

Our 20 yard dumpsters include up to 3 tons of weight in the base $500 price. If you exceed that weight limit, additional fees apply at $120 per additional ton. Most customers never hit the weight limit with typical household debris, furniture, and construction materials.

For example, if you’re tossing mostly old furniture and renovation debris, you’ll usually run out of space before hitting the weight limit. If you’re disposing of concrete blocks or large amounts of dirt, the weight becomes your main constraint, not the volume.

What Can You Put in a 20 Yard Dumpster?

Most everyday junk and construction debris works fine in our 20 yard roll off dumpsters, though Wisconsin and local regulations do restrict certain materials for safety and environmental reasons.

Household Junk

• Old furniture like couches, chairs, dressers, and tables
• Mattresses and box springs
• Appliances (check local regulations for refrigerators)
• Boxes, toys, clothing, and general household trash
• Carpets and rugs

Remodeling & Construction Debris

• Kitchen cabinets, countertops, and fixtures
• Drywall, lumber, doors, trim, and windows
• Subflooring and interior demolition materials
• Non-hazardous siding and construction materials
• Bathroom fixtures and vanities

Yard Waste

• Tree branches, bushes, and shrubs
• Leaves and grass clippings
• Small amounts of dirt (check weight limits)
• Landscaping debris and brush

Garage & Basement Cleanouts

• Exercise equipment and sporting goods
• Storage bins, shelving, and garage organization items
• Non-chemical tools and hardware
• General basement or attic stored items

If you’re not sure whether a specific material belongs in your dumpster, just give us a call. Different disposal facilities have varying rules, and we stay current on local regulations to keep you out of trouble.

What You CANNOT Put in a 20 Yard Dumpster

Hazardous, flammable, and certain regulated materials can’t go in any roll off dumpster for safety and legal reasons. These restrictions apply throughout Wisconsin and help protect our drivers, disposal facility workers, and the environment.

• Liquids of any kind – Paint, solvents, chemicals, fuel, motor oil, antifreeze, or any other liquids
• Car batteries and propane tanks – These require special recycling programs
• Electronics and e-waste – TVs, computer monitors, and certain appliances need dedicated recycling
• Hazardous materials – Asbestos, medical waste, pesticides, and industrial chemicals
• Large quantities of tires – Small amounts may be allowed with advance notice and extra fees
• Paint cans with liquid paint – Empty, dried paint cans are usually acceptable

Some items may be accepted in limited quantities or for an extra fee if you arrange it when booking your rental. Always check with us first rather than assuming something is okay to throw in your dumpster.

For hazardous waste disposal, most Wisconsin municipalities offer special collection days or drop-off locations. Check your city or county website for electronics recycling events and hazardous waste programs.

20 Yard vs. 10 Yard Dumpster – Which Size Should You Choose?

This is probably the most common question we get, and the answer comes down to your project scope and budget. Our 10 yard dumpster rents for $350 while the 20 yard costs $500 – a $150 difference for double the capacity.

10 Yard Dumpster ($350)
Best for single-room projects like a bathroom remodel, small attic cleanout, or minor landscaping. If you’re just replacing flooring in one or two rooms or cleaning out a single space, the 10-yard often provides plenty of room without paying for space you won’t use.

20 Yard Dumpster ($500)
Better for multi-room projects, kitchen remodels, basement cleanouts, or any job where you’re generating debris from multiple sources. The extra capacity prevents the frustration of running out of space mid-project.

Here are some real examples to help you decide: If you’re replacing carpet in a 900-square-foot ranch in Sheboygan, a 10 yard dumpster probably handles the job. If you’re gutting a kitchen and cleaning out the garage at the same time, go with the 20 yard roll off dumpster to avoid ordering a second container.

Our team can walk through your project details and recommend the size that saves you money while ensuring you have enough space. It’s better to have a little extra room than to get stuck needing a second rental.

Where Can We Place Your 20 Yard Dumpster?

Most customers want their dumpster as close to the work area as possible, and the 20 yard size gives you flexibility for placement on residential properties, commercial lots, or construction sites.

Common Placement Options:

• Residential driveways in suburban and city neighborhoods
• Side yards or back areas with truck access
• Commercial parking lots and construction sites
• Street placement when permitted by your municipality

Your 20 yard roll off dumpster needs approximately 25 feet of length and 10 feet of width for safe placement. Our delivery truck also requires about 15 feet of overhead clearance – watch out for low tree branches, power lines, or overhangs that could interfere with delivery.

To protect your driveway, consider placing plywood or boards under the dumpster wheels if you’re concerned about marks on asphalt or concrete. The weight distributes better with something solid underneath, especially on hot summer days when asphalt stays soft.

Make sure we have clear access on both delivery and pickup days. Even if you can squeeze cars around the dumpster during your rental period, our truck needs full access to safely load and remove the container.

Do You Need a Permit for a 20 Yard Dumpster in Wisconsin?

The permit question comes up frequently, and the basic rule is simple: private property placements usually don’t require permits, while street placements often do.

No permit needed when your dumpster sits completely on private property like your driveway, yard, or private parking lot. This covers most residential rentals where the container stays within your property lines.

Permit required for street or alley placement in most Wisconsin municipalities. Cities like Elkhart Lake, Plymouth, Kohler, Sheboygan typically charge $25 to $100 for temporary dumpster permits, though costs and requirements vary by location.

The permit process usually takes a few days, so plan ahead if you need street placement. Some cities also limit how long a dumpster can stay on public property or require specific placement away from fire hydrants or bus stops.

Randy’s can advise you on local permit requirements based on our experience with different municipalities, but securing the actual permit remains your responsibility. When in doubt, call your city’s public works department or check their website before your delivery date.

20 Yard Dumpster Pricing with Randy’s Cleanout & Dumpster Rental

Compare this to our 10 yard dumpster at $350, and you’re paying just $25 per additional cubic yard of capacity with the larger size. For most projects that need more than 10 yards of space, the 20-yard option delivers better value per yard of debris.

We believe in honest, upfront pricing that lets you budget accurately for your project. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, just the capacity and service you need at a fair price.

Tips to Get the Most Out of Your 20 Yard Dumpster

Smart loading and planning help you maximize your rental value while avoiding extra fees. These practical tips come from years of helping Wisconsin customers tackle cleanup and construction projects.

• Plan your project timing so most debris is ready when the dumpster arrives – don’t let it sit empty for days
• Break down bulky items like bed frames, tables, and large furniture to create more space
• Load heavy materials first and distribute weight evenly across the bottom of the container
• Keep everything below the fill line – debris sticking over the top creates safety hazards and pickup problems
• Separate prohibited items before you start loading to avoid contamination issues
• Save space efficiently by fitting smaller items into gaps between larger pieces

Following these guidelines helps avoid the frustration of needing a second dumpster rental or paying overweight charges. Most customers who plan their loading strategy find the 20 yard capacity handles their project perfectly.
