Compare sizes

Most projects in the Lafayette metro 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 on the driveway.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Lafayette 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-scale jobs in Lafayette: garage cleanouts, attic clear-outs, or single-room remodels. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your pavement, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits most household debris loads.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right choice for concentrated loads: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a small container quickly; this happens when the weight hits the limit before the volume is reached. Use this for a roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads.

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

The 20-yard container is the go-to for mid-size projects; it clears a whole-house declutter in one haul and keeps a roof tear-off job moving with a single swap out.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Lafayette 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 handles large volumes for home additions in Lafayette: it holds construction debris, framing lumber, and household waste. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for multi-week projects; the tall walls maximize your storage area.

A 30-yard roll-off handles home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels and weeklong jobsite output right here in Lafayette.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Lafayette 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: this large bin is for commercial sites and exceeds most residential driveway clearance.

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition work in the Lafayette area: we drop this bin with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers bulky mixed debris for your project to avoid a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off serves major commercial cleanouts and new construction projects: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when site clearing runs in parallel with the build on location.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing. We operate in Lafayette to assist with site cleanup while ensuring compliance with EPA construction and demolition material management standards for your project.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single shovel of material hits the pavement: this protects the concrete from damage. If the job mixes demolition concrete with a home tear-out — we pair the lowboy with a 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: the volume of your debris, the weight, and where to place the roll-off in Lafayette. Most homeowners use a 10-yard or 20-yard; remodels need a 30-yard; demolitions require a 40-yard or jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense C&D debris like concrete hits the tonnage limit for a container quickly; lighter household items fill the box first: choose your size based on the specific material you need to haul away.

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 bin is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to your dispatcher with your site in view.
