Our most-rented size, sized right for roof replacements, estate cleanouts, and larger kitchen remodels. Locally owned, with walk-in barn doors and upfront pricing.
A 20-yard roll-off dumpster holds approximately 8 to 10 standard pickup truck loads of debris (using an F-150 bed as the reference unit, which holds roughly 1.5 to 2 cubic yards). The 20-yard is the most commonly rented dumpster size for residential projects, covering roof replacements, estate cleanouts, larger kitchen remodels, and deck teardowns. Most standard kitchen remodels fit a 15-yard dumpster; the 20-yard is the step up for bigger kitchens. Weight limits apply separately from volume capacity.
It is the right fit for the majority of residential jobs in Central Florida. Like every Yankee container, the 20-yard has walk-in barn doors, which makes front-loading easy on roofing jobs where debris comes off the roof in bulk. We are based in Mt Dora, FL, serving Orlando, the full metro, and all of Lake, Orange, Seminole, and West Volusia counties.
A 20-yard dumpster holds roughly 8 to 10 pickup truck loads: enough for most mid-size residential jobs.
Shingles are heavy. A standard asphalt shingle weighs roughly 3 to 4 pounds per square foot, which means weight limits are a more important constraint than volume for roofing debris. The 20-yard can handle a standard residential reroof within its included weight limit on most jobs; however, tile roofs or very large homes may push into 30-yard territory on weight alone. Call us with your roof square footage and we will confirm the right size. For full roofing guidance, see roofing dumpster rental in Orlando.

The 20-yard is longer than the 15-yard and requires more driveway clearance, so confirm your placement spot before delivery. A standard two-car driveway typically accommodates the 20-yard; if you have a short driveway, call first.
Container footprints can vary by unit, so call (352) 738-6748 and we will confirm the exact length, width, and height before delivery.
A standard F-150 pickup bed holds approximately 1.5 to 2 cubic yards of loosely loaded material, so a 20-yard dumpster holds approximately 8 to 10 full pickup truck loads at that benchmark. The number varies with how tightly debris is loaded and the material type; loose household junk loads at less density than packed demolition debris. A quick mental model: a bedroom’s worth of furniture and boxes is roughly 2 to 3 truck loads, or about one-quarter of a 20-yard container.
The 20-yard rents for a flat $475, our most popular size. That covers delivery, pickup, 7 rental days, and a 3 ton weight allowance. Yankee’s pricing is upfront with no surprise fees at pickup, and no sales tax applies: the price you are quoted is the price you pay when you stay within the included weight limit.
The only factors that change cost are weight overage ($75 per ton), extended rental days ($25 per day after the included 7), or placement on a public street that requires a permit in some municipalities. For the full pricing breakdown across all four sizes, see dumpster rental pricing and costs. There is a 5% military discount on any size; just ask when you call.

You can compare the 15-yard dumpster, compare the 30-yard dumpster, or see all dumpster sizes. This size is also a strong fit for a home renovation dumpster rental, a garage cleanout dumpster rental, or general residential dumpster rental.
A 20-yard dumpster holds approximately 20 cubic yards of debris, equivalent to 8 to 10 standard pickup truck loads. It is the most commonly rented dumpster size in Central Florida and handles roof replacements, estate and garage cleanouts, larger kitchen remodels, deck teardowns, and moving cleanouts. Most standard kitchen remodels fit a 15-yard. For large multi-room renovations or full demolitions, consider the 30-yard.
Yankee Dumpster’s 20-yard rental is a flat $475 that includes delivery, pickup, 7 rental days, and a 3 ton weight allowance, with no sales tax and no hidden fees. Overage is $75 per ton and extensions are $25 per day. There is a 5% military discount on any size. Call (352) 738-6748 to book, or see our pricing page for the full breakdown.
Yankee’s 20-yard dumpster includes 3 tons in the flat rate; overage beyond that is $75 per ton. Dense debris like roofing shingles and tile can reach the weight limit before the container is visually full, so if your project involves heavy material, call us before booking and we can confirm whether the 20-yard weight tier fits your job or whether a 30-yard makes more sense. Note that we cannot take dirt or concrete.
The 20-yard handles a standard residential shingle roof within its included weight limit on most jobs. Because shingles are dense, weight is the limiting factor, not volume. Heavier tile or slate roofs reduce capacity significantly, so for large or tile-roofed homes a 30-yard is typically the better choice. Call Yankee Dumpster with your roof square footage and we will confirm the right size.
This depends entirely on the project. A full roofing crew can fill a 20-yard in a single workday, while a homeowner doing a DIY estate cleanout over a weekend may take two to three days. The included 7-day rental period covers most residential projects, and extensions are available at $25 per day if you need more time.
Locally owned, flat-rate, and delivered across Lake, Orange, Seminole, and West Volusia counties.
