Most projects in the Alpharetta area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room for a container.

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 jobs 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 fits a typical household load with room to spare.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right choice for dense materials: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a 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 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 and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container handles the heavy lifting for mid-size projects: a whole-house declutter or roof tear-off fits in one haul, and a single swap out keeps a week-long remodel crew moving forward.

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

A 30-yard dumpster provides volume for major Alpharetta projects: home additions, full-house remodels, and large estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for multi-week jobs; the 6,000-pound limit covers most mixed construction debris.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong jobsite output right here in 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: large bin for commercial sites, generally too tall for typical residential driveways.

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

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

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing in Alpharetta. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards to haul these dense materials safely. Call (470) 660-4814 to discuss your project.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any of the material hits your pavement: this prevents cracks. 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 a roll-off depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight of your load, and where the container sits in Alpharetta. Most people use a 10-yard or 20-yard; remodels need a 30-yard; larger jobs require a 40-yard or jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy materials like concrete or C&D debris hit the tonnage limit of a container fast: prioritize density; lighter household junk fills the volume of a box before the weight becomes a real concern for disposal.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; a 30-yard container requires overhead clearance for the truck mast: a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to your dispatcher in Alpharetta to confirm the fit.
