Compare sizes

Most roll-off projects in Sterling Heights fit one of four standard sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris; the container size is also limited by the space on your driveway.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Sterling Heights 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 projects in Sterling Heights: garage cleanouts, attic clear-outs, or single-room remodels. We set the dumpster on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit works for most household debris loads.

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

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Sterling Heights 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 Sterling Heights metro: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. The 22-foot container fits on your residential drive; it carries a 4,000-pound rating for mixed shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the reliable workhorse for mid-size projects. It clears whole-house decluttering and a roof tear-off in one haul, and a single swap out keeps week-two demo and finish work moving.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Sterling Heights 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 Sterling Heights: home additions, full remodels, and large estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options; its tall walls provide volume for your debris.

The 30-yard roll-off handles full-home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong Sterling Heights jobsite debris.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Sterling Heights 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 40-yard bin for commercial sites, often too high for residential driveways.

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition work in the Sterling Heights metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—and the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to finish the job.

The 40-yard roll-off serves large construction and commercial projects: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with building work on the property.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these dense materials hit the max weight capacity long before a traditional roll-off looks full. This equipment differs from standard roofing tear-off square sizing projects in Sterling Heights, and we follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for all site debris disposal.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the floor: this protects your pavement 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 Sterling Heights depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where we set the roll-off. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; only demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Concrete and C&D debris hit the heavy tonnage of a container fast: masonry fills the box before volume does; household items fill the space first, so choose the right size for your load.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

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