Most projects in Southgate fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load, and the space on the driveway; call (734) 519-7457.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Southgate 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 roll-off works for garage cleanouts or single-room remodels in Southgate: we set the bin on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit handles a typical household’s worth of junk with room to spare.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal 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 in a yard.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Southgate 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 Southgate area: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. This container features a 22-foot length for your residential driveway; it has a 4,000-pound rating for mixed shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-yard container is the go-to for mid-size projects: it hauls whole-house decluttering or a mid-size roof tear-off in a single run, and a single swap out covers week-two demo and finish work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Southgate 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 handles large estate cleanouts and home additions in Southgate: the tall sides offer volume for framing debris. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your project; it holds 6,000 pounds of material.

A 30-Yard Roll-Off Container handles Southgate home-addition or full-kitchen and full-bath remodel debris plus a week of job-site waste.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Southgate 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 40-yard bin for commercial sites, often too tall for residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition in the Southgate metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris, so you can haul everything in one long job.

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

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy materials like concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than a standard roll-off. This equipment differs from roofing tear-off square sizing in Southgate, as low walls facilitate loading. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for all site debris removal.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects your concrete 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? Picking a container in Southgate depends on three factors: the volume of your debris, the weight, and where the roll-off sits on your property; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; and 40-yard jobsite construction debris containers handle demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like concrete exceed your tonnage allowance before the box is full: C&D debris and household items fill the container by volume; always choose the size for the limit you reach first.

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 to our dispatcher to confirm your fit.
