Our team is here to walk you through the details if you have questions about renting the right dumpster.
How Much Can a 20 Yard Dumpster Hold?
A 20 yard roll off dumpster holds 20 cubic yards of waste, which is about six pickup truckloads. If you're measuring in trash bags, this container holds about 110 to 130 large 33-gallon trash bags. This makes our 20 yard bin a perfect fit for tossing furniture from a full-home cleanout or removing yard debris during a large landscaping project.
