Most projects in the Alpharetta area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the pick depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; the container must fit on your property.

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

A 10-yard roll-off is for jobs with heavy C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full; use this for a roof tear-off when you need a small footprint, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads.

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

The 20-yard container is the workhorse for mid-size projects: a single set covers whole-house decluttering or a mid-size roof tear-off, and a single swap out keeps the crew moving through week-two demo and finish work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Alpharetta 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 suits large projects in Alpharetta: home additions, full remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your job; the tall walls ensure plenty of space for debris.

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

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Alpharetta 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: fits commercial sites and large lots but exceeds typical residential driveway height requirements

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Alpharetta area: we drop this unit with a hooklift truck, and the 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris without requiring a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off is built for new construction and large commercial cleanouts; crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials bottom out a standard roll-off long before it looks full—we rate this container for 10,000 pounds. This differs from roofing tear-off square sizing in Alpharetta. You must follow 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 your pavement 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: the volume of debris, what it weighs, and where the roll-off sits on your property; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most in Alpharetta; a 30-yard fits a remodel; 40-yard or jobsite construction debris containers are for large demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like concrete reach the tonnage capacity of a container before filling the box: masonry is heavy; conversely, C&D debris and household junk fill the volume of a box before hitting the limit.

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 is for a commercial lot. Send a photo of your space to our dispatcher.
