What Fits in a 20-Yard Dumpster?

A 20-yard dumpster holds approximately 60 cubic feet of debris. It's loaded from the back and delivered on a roll-off truck. For reference, that's roughly the equivalent of 6–7 pickup truck loads.

What NOT to Use a 20-Yard For

Tampa-Specific Notes for 20-Yard Rentals

The 20-yard is Tampa's most common size for kitchen/bath remodels and standard single-story roofing. Important Tampa caveat: storm-damaged shingles that have absorbed water weigh significantly more than dry material. A single-story wet shingle tear-off can hit the 3-ton limit faster than expected. If your roof has any storm saturation, consider the 30-yard.

Booking Checklist

  1. Confirm weight limit and overage rate — wet/storm debris weighs more than expected
  2. Check county coverage if you're near Pinellas or Pasco lines
  3. Decide on placement — driveway needs no permit; street placement requires a city permit ($45–$85)
  4. Book early during hurricane season (June–November) — availability can collapse post-storm

How long can I keep a 20-yard dumpster in Tampa?
