Most projects in Alexandria fit within four standard roll-off sizes: the right container depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; there must be enough room on the driveway.

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

10-yard bin for Alexandria garage cleanouts or single-room remodels. We set it on driveway boards to protect your apron. The 2,000-pound limit covers packed boxes, furniture, and drywall scraps. Compact roll-off fits tight spaces.

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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria area: whole-house decluttering, roof tear-offs, and flooring jobs. The container has a 22-foot length for your residential drive; it carries a 4,000-pound rating for mixed shingles.

The 20-yard container handles the mid-size project with ease: whole-house decluttering, a mid-size roof tear-off, and the debris from a week-long remodel demo and finish work all fit on one load, and a single swap out keeps the crew moving.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Alexandria 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 major renovations in Alexandria: it provides space for home additions and estate cleanouts. The 30-yard pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for full projects; the container holds 6,000 pounds of construction debris.

The 30-yard roll-off container clears home-addition heaps, full-kitchen or full-bath remodel piles, and weeklong job-site output anywhere across Alexandria.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Alexandria 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: ideal for commercial sites but typically too tall for standard residential driveways

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Alexandria metro: we drop it with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers a bulky mixed load to haul away your debris in one trip.

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 site clearing happens in parallel with the main build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials hit the 10,000-pound threshold long before a standard roll-off looks full, unlike jobs involving roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards in Alexandria for your site, ensuring safe transport of the heavy load.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single load of material hits your property: this prevents damage to the concrete. If the job mixes demolition concrete with a home tear-out — we pair the lowboy with a residential container.

Choosing the Right Roll-off Size for Your Project

Which size fits your project? Choosing a container in Alexandria depends on three factors: the volume of 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 are for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like concrete hit the tonnage threshold in a container quickly; lighter C&D debris fills the volume of a box first: always choose your size based on the specific waste you are hauling.

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 bin belongs in a commercial lot. Send a photo of your site to our dispatcher.
