10-yard dumpster dimensions run about 12 feet long and 8 feet wide, dumpster sizes 20 yard add roughly 2 feet of height on a similar footprint, and dumpster dimensions 30 yard stretch closer to 22 feet long with taller walls. Picking the right size in Bartlett comes down to what you're clearing and how much room your driveway gives the truck.
10 yard dumpster measurements come in around 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and about 3.5 feet tall. That footprint fits most Bartlett driveways without eating the whole yard. It handles a bathroom gut job, a small deck teardown, or the debris from a garage cleanout. If you're weighing this size against a bigger box, the dumpster rental cost page breaks down what you'd pay either way. For quick jobs, a 10 yard dumpster rental usually runs a day or two before pickup, and delivery still needs the same 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck that every roll-off size requires. Homeowners doing a home renovation alongside a dumpster order often pair the two, since debris and worker sanitation tend to show up on the same job site at once.
20 yard dumpster measurements come in close to 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and about 4.5 feet tall, roughly the sweet spot for a full roof replacement or a whole-house declutter. These dumpster dimensions for a 20 yard box hold double the volume of the 10 yard box in a similar footprint, just taller sides. Contractors running a construction dumpster rental in Bartlett lean toward this size for mid-sized remodels. Check the dumpster weight limits page before you fill one with shingles or concrete, since dense material hits the ton cap fast even when the box still looks half empty. The 20 yard dumpster rental page has more on what typically fits.
A 30 yard dumpster stretches to about 22 feet long and 8 feet wide, with walls roughly 6 feet tall, the jump in height rather than length. That extra vertical space is what separates a 30 yard size from a 20 yard box on a similar-length job site. It suits new construction, large additions, or commercial cleanouts across Bartlett where volume piles up fast. The 30 yard dumpster rental page covers delivery specifics, and if you're not sure this size beats the 40 yard option, the 40 yard dumpster rental page lays out the difference. Either way, confirm placement first; the dumpster permit requirements page in Bartlett explains why the city's right-of-way rules matter before a box lands at the curb.
Measure twice before you order once. Every roll-off, regardless of yard size, needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to drop the box safely, so a short driveway or a tight cul-de-sac in Bartlett can rule out certain placements even if the yard size itself would work fine. Walk the delivery path and look for low branches, fences, or parked cars that would block the approach. If your lot can't give the truck a straight shot, ask about street placement, but that circles back to the dumpster permit requirements page since curb placement usually needs city sign-off. Homeowners in Lakeland, about 6.4 miles east of Bartlett, run into the same driveway math, and the clearance rule doesn't change with the zip code. If you're still deciding between a 10, 20, or 30 yard box, the dumpster sizes and dimensions comparisons above are the starting point, and roll-off dumpster rental covers the ordering process end to end.
Paint, solvents, tires, and most appliances with refrigerant are off-limits in a standard roll-off, and mixing them in can void the haul or trigger extra fees. OSHA 1926.252 covers proper disposal practices for construction waste on active job sites, including how chutes and enclosures should be handled, which matters if your dumpster sits near an active build. Housekeeping rules under OSHA 1926.25 also require job sites to keep scrap and debris cleared from work areas rather than letting it pile up around the box. The what cannot go in a dumpster page has the full list, and it's worth a read before a load gets rejected at the transfer station. Crews spraying coatings or herbicides near the dumpster site should also plan for washing facilities under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), since that standard applies specifically to paint, coatings, herbicide, and insecticide work, not general cleanup.
| Size | Approx. Length | Approx. Width | Approx. Height | Good For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | 12 ft | 8 ft | 3.5 ft | Small cleanouts, single-room remodels |
| 20 yard | 22 ft | 8 ft | 4.5 ft | Mid-size remodels, roof tear-offs |
| 30 yard | 22 ft | 8 ft | 6 ft | New builds, large additions |
Bartlett job sites vary a lot, from a backyard shed teardown to a full commercial strip clearing. Whatever the scope, matching the box to the load keeps trip counts down and keeps the crew from overloading a size that was never meant for it. For jobs running longer than a week, the dumpster rental cost page shows how daily, weekly, and monthly rates stack up so you're not guessing on the back end.
A 10 yard box holds roughly the equivalent of three pickup truck loads, enough for a single-room remodel or a modest garage cleanout. It's the smallest standard size Bartlett Porta Pros offers, and it's the easiest to place in a tight driveway without needing extra permit review.
Sometimes, but not always in the same box as general debris. Concrete and dirt are dense and can hit the weight limit before the container looks full, so ask about a dedicated heavy-debris box. The dumpster weight limits page explains how the ton caps work by size.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. Driveway placement on private property is usually simpler, but check the dumpster permit requirements page and confirm with Bartlett's permitting office directly rather than assuming.
Rental length is flexible and priced by day, week, or month depending on the job. Longer renovation projects in Bartlett often go weekly or monthly rather than paying repeated day rates. The dumpster rental cost page shows how those durations compare.
Most roof tear-offs fit a 20 yard dumpster, though steep-slope or multi-layer roofs sometimes need the 30 yard size. Shingles are heavy, so weight matters more than volume here. Check the dumpster weight limits page before you commit to a size.
