Roll-Off Dumpster Sizes: A Simple Guide
Choosing a roll-off dumpster size is a balance: too small and you pay for a second haul, too big and you pay for empty air. Blew Bayou offers roll-off dumpsters from 10 to 40 yards, and the right size comes down to the type of debris and how much of it you have. Here is a straightforward breakdown by project.
A “yard” means cubic yards of volume. As a rough anchor, one cubic yard is about the size of a standard washing machine, and a full pickup-truck bed is roughly three cubic yards.
What Each Dumpster Size Holds
- 10-yard — small cleanouts, a single room remodel, or heavy debris like concrete and dirt where weight, not volume, is the limit. About 3–4 pickup loads.
- 15-yard — medium remodels, flooring or roofing tear-off, and garage or estate cleanouts.
- 20-yard — the most popular all-rounder: larger remodels, mid-size construction, and big cleanouts. About 6–8 pickup loads.
- 30-yard — new construction, whole-home renovations, and major demolition debris.
- 40-yard — large commercial jobs, big demolition, and high-volume light debris. The most capacity we offer.
Heavy Debris? Size Down, Not Up
Concrete, brick, dirt, and roofing shingles are dense. A 40-yard bin full of concrete would be far too heavy to legally haul, so for heavy material you typically use a smaller bin and fill it only partway. If your project includes concrete, our on-site concrete crushing can also cut disposal volume dramatically by recycling material right on your site.
For clean fill, brush, and land-clearing debris, ask about combining dumpsters with our land clearing and hauling so the whole job moves on one schedule.

Roll-Off Dumpster Sizes: FAQs
What roll-off dumpster sizes are available?
Blew Bayou offers 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 yard roll-off dumpsters. The 20-yard is the most popular all-purpose size, while 30 and 40 yard bins suit new construction and major demolition.
What size dumpster do I need for a home remodel?
A single-room remodel often fits a 10 or 15 yard bin; a larger multi-room renovation usually needs a 20 or 30 yard. If you are unsure, tell us the scope and we will size it so you do not pay for a second haul or empty space.
Why can't I put concrete in a 40-yard dumpster?
Concrete, dirt, and brick are extremely heavy. A large bin full of them would exceed legal haul weight, so heavy debris goes in a smaller bin filled partway. On-site concrete crushing can also reduce disposal volume by recycling the material where it sits.
