Most projects in the Orinda area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room you have for a container.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Orinda concrete driveway, mid-day sunlight, clean and ready for a garage cleanout.

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

The 10-yard bin handles small jobs in Orinda: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or a weekend of yard debris. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits a typical household load.

A 10-yard roll-off is for dense loads: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a container before the volume looks full; this is ideal for a single-story roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in Orinda.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Orinda 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 Orinda metro: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. The 22-foot length fits on your residential driveway; the 4,000-pound rating handles mixed shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container handles mid-size jobs—clear an entire house or roof tear-off in one haul, and a single swap out covers a full week of remodel work.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Orinda 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

The 30-yard dumpster is built for major projects in Orinda: home additions, full-house remodels, and estate cleanouts. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options; it provides the volume crews need for framing debris on site.

The 30-yard roll-off holds a week’s worth of full-kitchen or full-bath remodel debris and home addition waste in Orinda.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Orinda 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: best for commercial projects and large lots but too tall for residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles large demolition and new construction in the Orinda metro: we drop this unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris without the need to haul a second bin.

The 40-yard roll-off is built for new construction and large commercial projects: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials hit the 10,000-pound limit—far below the rim of a standard roll-off—often before you finish your roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards for all Orinda jobs to ensure proper disposal.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single shovel of material hits your pavement: this protects the concrete from damage. If the job mixes demolition concrete with a home tear-out — we pair the lowboy with a standard residential roll-off container.

Choosing the Right Roll-off Size for Your Project

Which size fits your project? Choosing the right container depends on three factors: the volume of your debris, the weight of the load, and where we set the roll-off in Orinda; 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

Masonry materials reach the Tonnage limit of a container before filling the box; C&D debris and household junk fill volume first: choose your size based on the specific constraint you will hit first.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Placement depends on unit size. A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits most residential drives, while a 30-yard container requires overhead clearance. A 40-yard is for commercial lots. Send a photo to our dispatcher to confirm.
