What a 20 yard dumpster rental is for
A 20 yard dumpster rental from Altapeak Rolloffs starts at $380 and includes 2 tons of weight across 10 days on site. It is the size most kitchen remodels and whole-floor cleanouts land on.
It carries the same tonnage as the 15 yard, so the step up buys five more cubic yards of room and nothing else. If the load is heavy rather than bulky, the 30 yard adds a third ton.

Materials
What Goes In a 20 Yard Dumpster and What Does Not
A 20 yard dumpster from Altapeak Rolloffs takes household junk and standard construction debris. Concrete, brick, asphalt and dirt are the refusal that catches people out, because plenty of haulers accept them.
- Household junk and furnitureA whole floor of furniture, carpet and stored contents.
- Construction and demolition debrisCabinets, counters, flooring, drywall and trim from a full remodel.
- Roofing shinglesAccepted. A medium tear-off is sized on the scale, not the walls.
- Yard wasteBranches, grass, leaves, brush and storm debris. Colorado does not require green waste to be hauled separately, so it goes in with the rest of the load.
- Concrete, brick, asphalt and dirtNeed a dedicated heavy container we do not run.
- Tires, paint, oil, electronics and hazardous wasteHandled separately by every disposal facility.
Sizing
Is a 20 Yard Dumpster Big Enough for Your Job?
A 20 yard dumpster is the volume answer, not the weight answer. It carries the same 2 tons as the 15 yard. The 15 yard includes the same 2 tons in a shorter box, so if the last load ran over on weight, a longer container runs over again.
Four materials cause almost every overage on a residential job. All four are dense, all four look like nothing in the container, and all four go in without a second thought.
Shingles
A medium tear-off runs past 2 tons while the container is barely half full, which is exactly the case where extra length buys nothing.
Wet carpet
A whole floor of carpet out of a water-damaged house arrives at several times its dry weight, and the 20 yard carries no more allowance than the 15.
Plaster and lath
A kitchen and a bathroom of plaster together will reach the limit before the cabinets are in. Older Denver homes are the ones to watch.
Tile and mortar
Kitchen and bathroom floors together are a small pile with a large number on the scale ticket.
The limit you reach first is rarely the walls
Space and weight bind independently, and the 20 yard is where that gap opens widest. It carries five more cubic yards than the 15 and not one extra pound of allowance, so a bulky load gains and a heavy load does not.
Past 2 tons, extra weight is billed at against a certified scale ticket. If the load is dense rather than bulky, the 30 yard includes 3 tons in the same 20 foot footprint.

Questions
20 Yard Dumpster Questions
How big is a 20 yard dumpster?
A 20 yard dumpster from Altapeak Rolloffs measures 20 feet long, 7 wide, 4 high and holds 6 to 8 pickup loads at a standard 8 foot bed. At 20 feet long it needs more driveway than the 15 yard, and it takes exactly the same space as the 30 yard.
Does the 20 yard need more driveway than the 15?
Five feet more length, and the same width. It takes exactly the space a 30 yard does, so if a 20 yard fits your driveway the larger box will as well, which is worth knowing before you choose between them.
