Why most people book the 20
Cleanouts almost always turn up more than you expected. The 20 gives you room for that without jumping to a container meant for a whole house.
And some loads fill a dumpster long before they get heavy. A couch, a set of kitchen cabinets or a pile of brush takes up a lot of space and barely touches your ton. That's the kind of job the 20 is good at.
But it works the other way too. If your debris is dense, the extra room won't help, because the included weight is the same as the 15.
Jobs it suits
- Moving out and clearing the furniture
- Tearing out kitchen cabinets and countertops
- Brush, branches and yard debris from a big cleanup
- A medium remodel with light demo debris
- A garage and a couple of rooms in one go
Loading a 20 yard
- Break furniture down and flatten boxes. Whole pieces waste a lot of space.
- Tile and plaster are heavy. Fill a 20 yard with them and you'll be way past 1 ton, so talk to us about the weight first.
- Big, awkward pieces go in first. Pack the smaller stuff around them.
- Keep the load level with the top of the walls.
When to pick a different size
- Dirt, rock or concrete: those go in the 10 yard lowboy
- A load that's heavy and big: the 30 yard includes 2 tons
- One small room: the 15 yard is enough
- Roofing or manure: those are limited to the 15 yard
No dumpster takes chemicals and other hazardous materials, batteries, tires or appliances. For appliances, call Temecula Valley Junk Pick-Up at 951-291-1700.
How much fits in a 20 yard?
A 20 yard holds about 7 to 9 pickup truck loads. That's a two-car garage, a move-out or a big yard cleanup.

I ordered one…and quickly realized I’d need another. Abel was on it, and had another dumpster for me by the end of the day.

They went over and beyond to help me get a dumpster when I needed it the most, not a week from now or a couple days later like most other companies we called they got me one the same day!

Questions about the 20 yard
Why is the 20 yard your most popular size?
It covers the most kinds of jobs. Move-outs, big cleanouts and medium remodels all fit, and it comes with 2 days and 1 ton.
What's a 20 yard dumpster used for?
Stuff that takes up space without weighing much. Furniture, cabinets, brush and the mixed debris from a medium remodel.
Does the 20 yard include more weight than the 15?
No. Both include 1 ton. You get more room, not more weight.
Can I use a 20 yard for a roof tear-off?
No. Roofing debris is limited to the 15 yard because shingles are heavy. Tell us how big the roof is when you call and we'll help you plan it.
When should I move up to the 30 yard?
When the load is big and heavy, or you're clearing out a whole house. The 30 yard includes 2 tons.
How many pickup truck loads fit in a 20 yard dumpster?
Roughly 7 to 9, depending on the truck and how well it's packed.
Is a 20 yard dumpster big enough for a kitchen remodel?
