Most projects in the Charleston metro fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right container depends on the volume of debris; the weight of the load matters for the driveway space.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Charleston 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 fits tight Charleston driveways for garage cleanouts or attic debris. We use driveway boards to protect pavement, with a 2,000-pound limit for household junk. See sizing details. (38 words)

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

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

A 20-Yard Container handles mid-size jobs like full-house cleanouts or roof tear-offs in one trip, so crews stay productive with a single swap out. Available for quick delivery and pickup across Charleston, SC.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Charleston 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 handles large estate cleanouts and heavy remodels in Charleston: the tall walls offer significant volume for framing debris. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options; it provides the space needed for your project.

The 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen and full-bath remodels, and a week’s worth of Charleston-area job site waste.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Charleston 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 commercial sites and too tall for most standard residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition across the Charleston metro: we drop this bin with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to keep the site clear on long projects.

Our largest standard roll-off is sized for new construction and major 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

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials fill a standard roll-off quickly, unlike roofing tear-off square sizing. This lowboy is rated for 10,000 pounds—a heavy load—and we follow all EPA construction and demolition material management standards across Charleston.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single piece of debris hits the ground: this prevents cracks on your driveway. 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 the right container depends on three factors: the amount of debris, the weight, and where we set the roll-off in Charleston. Most use a 10-yard or 20-yard; remodels need a 30-yard; demolitions require a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Masonry creates high tonnage that fills a container quickly; lighter C&D debris or household items fill the volume of a box first. Use this rule: select your size based on the limit you reach.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

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