Specifications
The 20 yard at a glance
Dimensions
22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high
Capacity
20 cubic yards — about 6 pickup truck loads
Weight included
3–4 tons in the flat rate
Driveway space needed

Debris needs to stay below the container's top rail on every size so our driver can haul it safely — that holds whether it lands on your driveway or, on the rare job that needs the street instead, wherever the City of Gastonia confirms is allowed.
Is this the one?
When the 20 yard is the right call
If we could keep only one container size, this would be it. At 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high it holds about 6 pickup truck loads with a 3–4 ton allowance, carrying roughly 110–130 bags of debris — enough for a genuine mixed remodel or a full roof tear-off, while still fitting a normal single-family driveway across Gastonia and out into towns like Belmont, Mount Holly, Cramerton and Bessemer City. Gaston County has real, NWS-surveyed storm history worth planning a roof around: on May 8, 2024, two confirmed EF-1 tornadoes crossed the county — one track running from near Polkville into the Cherryville area and ending near Bessemer City, and a second running from west of Gastonia through toward Belmont and McAdenville — and a full re-roof after storm damage is exactly the kind of job that fills a 20 yard's weight allowance efficiently.
It's also the right call on a lot of jobs where people first think of a 30. General remodel debris — drywall, siding, flooring, cabinets — or renovation work tied to the ongoing FUSE District redevelopment along West Franklin Boulevard, will usually fill a 20's weight allowance before it fills a 30's volume. Concrete, dirt, brick and heavier masonry are better routed to a 10 for that portion of the job — mixing dense material into a full 20 yard load is the fastest way to run over the included weight, and everything still needs to stay below the top rail.
Straight advice: The one to default to when you're genuinely unsure. It's rarely the wrong answer for a remodel or a roof — just route concrete, dirt, brick and block to a 10 instead, and keep everything below the top rail.
Ideal for
- General remodel debris — drywall, siding, flooring, cabinets
- Roofing tear-offs after Gaston County storm damage
- Renovation debris tied to the FUSE District and other downtown Gastonia redevelopment
- Medium construction-debris loads on a residential or small commercial job
- Most Gastonia driveways without crowding the garage
- The default when a job description doesn't clearly point to a 10, 15 or 30

How it sizes up against the others
Same flat pricing model across all five. The real question is which weight allowance matches your material — dense debris, roofing, a remodel or a construction phase.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard Dumpster | 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 3.5 ft high | about 3 pickup truck loads | 1–2 tons | Small cleanouts, yard debris and tight-driveway jobs — holds roughly 50–70 bags of debris. |
| 15 Yard Dumpster | 16 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high | about 4–5 pickup truck loads | 2–3 tons | Bathroom remodels, flooring removal and light renovations — holds roughly 80–100 bags. |
| 20 Yard Dumpster | 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high | about 6 pickup truck loads | 3–4 tons | Medium remodels, roofing jobs and construction debris — holds roughly 110–130 bags. |
| 30 Yard Dumpster | 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 6 ft high | about 9 pickup truck loads | 4–5 tons | Whole-home cleanouts, large renovations and commercial use — holds roughly 170–190 bags. |
| 40 Yard Dumpster | 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 8 ft high | about 12 pickup truck loads | 5–6 tons | Major construction, demolition and large-scale cleanups — holds roughly 230–250 bags. |

Answers
20 Yard Dumpster questions
What fits in a 20 yard dumpster in Gastonia?
About 110–130 bags — a genuine mixed remodel (drywall, flooring, siding, cabinets), a full roofing tear-off, or medium construction debris. It's the size most Gastonia jobs land on when the project is bigger than a single room but not a full gut renovation.
Is a 20 yard dumpster right for a roofing job after a Gaston County storm?
Often, yes. Gaston County has real, NWS-surveyed tornado history — on May 8, 2024, two confirmed EF-1 tornadoes crossed the county, one tracking from near Polkville into the Cherryville area toward Bessemer City and the other running from west of Gastonia through toward Belmont and McAdenville — and a full re-roof after storm damage is exactly the kind of job the 20 yard's weight allowance is built to handle.
Is a 20 yard big enough for a downtown Gastonia renovation project?
For most FUSE District-area and downtown renovation jobs, yes — it carries enough weight allowance for a genuine mixed remodel. Describe the scope of the project when you call and we'll confirm.
