A 20-yard dumpster holds approximately 60 cubic feet of debris — roughly the equivalent of 6–8 pickup truck loads. It's loaded from the back door and delivered on a roll-off truck.

The 20-yard is Phoenix's most popular size for kitchen and bath remodels. It's the right size for asphalt shingle roofing but is frequently too small for tile tear-offs. If your project involves clay or concrete tile, plan for a 30-yard. The overage fees on a tile job that exceeds a 20-yard's weight limit run $110–$250 more than if you'd booked the 30-yard from the start.
A 20-yard dumpster in Phoenix typically costs $340–$510 for a standard 7–10 day rental. Summer rates (June–September) are often 10–15% lower. Prices may be higher for delivery outside an operator's primary service zone.
Most Phoenix operators include 3–4 tons in the base price. Overage fees typically run $55–$85 per ton over the limit. For tile roof tear-offs or concrete, confirm the weight limit and overage rate before booking — or ask about flat-rate heavy-debris pricing.
Standard rentals are 7–10 days. Extensions typically cost $10–$25 per day. If your project may run longer, ask about extended or 14-day rates upfront — it's almost always cheaper than daily extension fees after delivery.
Only if it goes on a public street. Driveway placement requires no permit. Street placement requires a City of Phoenix Right-of-Way Use Permit ($45–$90, 2–5 days to process). Many operators handle the permit for you — ask when booking.
