Most projects in the Knoxville metro fit one of four roll-off sizes: the right container depends on the volume of debris; the weight of the load matters for the space on your driveway.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Knoxville 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 Knoxville projects: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the dumpster on driveway boards to protect your pavement, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits a typical household load of junk, drywall, or yard debris.

A 10-yard roll-off is for jobs with heavy, dense tonnage: the call is simple when handling C&D debris from a single-story roof tear-off; this container works for concentrated loads, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter organic waste in a different way.

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

The 20-Yard Container handles mid-size jobs like whole-house decluttering, roof tear-offs, or week-long remodels with room to spare; one swap-out keeps the site clean through finish work.

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

A 30-yard dumpster suits large projects in Knoxville: home additions, full remodels, and estate cleanouts. The 6,000-pound capacity handles mixed debris well; this container pairs with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your job site to keep work moving.

The 30-Yard Roll-Off Container keeps Knoxville home additions and full remodels moving without debris pileups.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Knoxville 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: oversized bin for large commercial sites that often exceeds typical residential driveway clearances.

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition across the Knoxville metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to haul everything away in a single trip.

The 40-yard roll-off handles new construction and major commercial cleanouts: crews often combine it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the ongoing build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a heavy-duty Lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds of density—differing from roofing tear-off square sizing. We haul these materials in Knoxville according to EPA construction and demolition material management standards. This specialized container lets you load over the edge with a skid-steer.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single piece of debris hits the surface: this prevents damage to your concrete. 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? Picking the right container depends on three factors: volume of debris, weight, and placement on your driveway; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for Knoxville homes; a 30-yard is for a remodel; and a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers is for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense C&D debris like concrete hits your maximum tonnage before filling the container: masonry occupies little space; conversely, light household junk fills a large box before the weight becomes a real factor for you.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives: the 30-yard container needs overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard belongs in a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher with your driveway for placement.
