What NOT to Use a 20-Yard For

San Antonio-Specific Notes

The 20-yard is San Antonio's most versatile residential size. Key local factor: caliche and limestone from patios or landscape work is denser than typical debris. Always disclose rock content when booking — a limestone patio tearoff can exceed the 3-ton limit faster than a full kitchen renovation.

  1. Confirm weight limit and overage rate before booking
  2. Check delivery zone — confirm operator services your specific zip
  3. Driveway placement: no permit needed. Street: local ROW permit required
  4. Book ahead during peak season for best availability
