What Is a 20 Yard Roll-Off Dumpster?
A 20 yard dumpster is the largest standard roll-off container available for residential rental in Jacksonville, FL. It holds 20 cubic yards of debris,equivalent to approximately 7 pickup truck loads or 120-140 large contractor trash bags. This is the size contractors reach for on construction jobs, whole-house cleanouts, and major renovation projects where smaller containers would need to be swapped mid-project.
To visualize 20 cubic yards, imagine a container 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 5.8 feet high,roughly the length of a mid-size sedan with walls just under 6 feet tall. Despite being our largest size, the 20 yard dumpster shares the same footprint as our 15 yard dumpster,the extra capacity comes from the taller sidewalls, not a wider or longer frame. This means it fits in the same driveway space while holding 33% more debris.
At 904 Dumpster, we rent 20 yard dumpsters across Jacksonville and Northeast Florida for a flat rate of $375, which includes delivery, pickup, a 5-day rental period, and disposal of up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs). At just $18.75 per cubic yard, the 20 yard offers the best value per cubic yard of any size we carry. As a locally owned company serving the 904 area since 2016, we deliver with driveway protection boards on every drop-off and offer same-day delivery when you book before noon.
20 Yard Dumpster Dimensions & Size
How Big Is a 20 Yard Dumpster?
A 20 yard dumpster measures 14 feet long by 7.5 feet wide by 5.8 feet high. It occupies roughly the same ground space as a standard parking spot,14 feet of driveway length and 7.5 feet of width. The key difference from the 15 yard is the wall height: at 5.8 feet (nearly 6 feet tall), the 20 yard can stack construction debris, drywall sheets, and lumber much higher without overfilling.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Exterior Length | 14 feet |
| Exterior Width | 7.5 feet |
| Exterior Height | 5.8 feet (70 inches) |
| Volume | 20 cubic yards |
| Weight Limit | 4,000 lbs (2 tons) |
| Equivalent Capacity | 7 pickup truck loads / 120-140 contractor bags |
| Rear Door | Full-width swing door for walk-in loading |
| Footprint | Same as 15-yard,extra capacity from taller walls |
Will a 20 Yard Dumpster Fit in My Driveway?
In most Jacksonville neighborhoods,yes. The 20 yard dumpster requires the same 14-foot length and 7.5-foot width as the 15 yard, so if a 15 yard fits in your driveway, a 20 yard will too. The only additional consideration is overhead clearance: the 5.8-foot wall height means the container itself clears most garage doors, but our roll-off truck needs approximately 22 feet of vertical clearance for safe delivery and pickup.
Jacksonville-specific tip: Watch for low-hanging oak branches, especially in established neighborhoods like Riverside, Avondale, and San Marco. If you're unsure about clearance, send us a photo of your driveway and we'll confirm fit before scheduling delivery. For homes without driveways or with tight access, we can often place the container on the street with a City of Jacksonville right-of-way permit,call us at (904) 240-5598 and we'll handle the details.

904 Dumpster vs. National Providers
National dumpster brokers like Budget Dumpster and Waste Management advertise 20 yard rentals starting at $350-$450 in the Jacksonville market,but the final invoice often tells a different story. After fuel surcharges ($25-$50), environmental fees ($15-$30), and administrative charges ($20-$35), the average 20 yard rental from a national provider lands between $450 and $550. With 904 Dumpster, $375 is the total price,no add-ons, no surprises.
20 yard dumpster vs. hauling it yourself: A single trip to Trail Ridge Landfill costs approximately $50-$75 in disposal fees plus fuel and 1-2 hours of your time. Our 20 yard dumpster holds 7 pickup truck loads, meaning you would spend $350-$525 in dump fees alone,not counting gas, vehicle wear, and 10-14 hours of driving and unloading. At $375 all-in with delivery to your driveway, renting a 20 yard dumpster saves the average Jacksonville homeowner $200+ and an entire weekend of work.
What Can You Put in a 20 Yard Dumpster?
A 20 yard dumpster accepts most common residential and construction materials. Because the 20 yard handles the biggest projects, it is frequently loaded with a mix of heavy construction debris and general household items. Here is what you can,and cannot,place in a 20 yard roll-off container in Jacksonville.
Accepted Materials
- ✓Construction debris (drywall, lumber, framing, plywood)
- ✓Roofing shingles and underlayment
- ✓Furniture, mattresses, and appliances
- ✓Cabinets, countertops, and fixtures
- ✓Flooring (tile, carpet, hardwood, laminate)
- ✓Yard waste (branches, sod, landscaping debris)
- ✓General household junk and clutter
- ✓Windows, doors, and trim
Prohibited Items
- ✗Hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, solvents)
- ✗Tires and automotive batteries
- ✗Refrigerants / Freon-containing appliances
- ✗Medical or biological waste
- ✗Asbestos-containing materials
- ✗Propane tanks and fuel containers
Pro tip for heavy loads: The 20 yard dumpster has a 2-ton (4,000 lb) weight limit. Construction debris like drywall and lumber is relatively light by volume,you can typically fill the entire container without exceeding the weight limit. However, if you are disposing of concrete, brick, stone, or dirt, these materials weigh significantly more per cubic yard. For heavy debris projects, consider our concrete disposal dumpster or call us at (904) 240-5598 to discuss the best approach.
Best Projects for a 20 Yard Dumpster
The 20 yard dumpster is the go-to choice for Jacksonville's biggest residential and commercial projects. Here are the four most common use cases.
Whole-House Cleanouts & Estate Cleanouts
Clearing an entire home,whether you're preparing a property for sale, managing an estate after a loved one passes, or gutting a house before a full renovation,generates an enormous volume of debris. Furniture, clothing, kitchenware, electronics, and decades of accumulated belongings fill up smaller dumpsters quickly.
The 20 yard dumpster holds the contents of most 3-4 bedroom Jacksonville homes in a single load, eliminating the cost and delay of ordering a second container. For larger estates or hoarder cleanouts, ask about back-to-back scheduling.
Major Renovations & Remodels
Multi-room renovations, kitchen-and-bath combos, or full-floor remodels produce a mix of drywall, lumber, old cabinets, flooring, and fixtures that quickly overwhelm a 15 yard dumpster. The 20 yard gives contractors room to work through an entire phase without stopping to schedule a swap.
Contractor tip: Keep the dumpster close to your work area. Our drivers can place the 20 yard in your driveway, on the street (with permit), or even on a job site pad. Let us know your preferred placement when you book.
Demolition Projects
Tearing down a large deck, removing a shed, demolishing interior walls, or gutting a garage generates heavy, bulky debris that smaller dumpsters cannot handle efficiently. The 20 yard's 5.8-foot walls accommodate long lumber, plywood sheets, and stacked drywall without overflowing.
For full structural demolition projects in Jacksonville, our demolition services team can handle the teardown and haul-away,or you can rent the dumpster and manage the demo yourself.
Storm Damage & Hurricane Cleanup
Jacksonville sits in a hurricane-prone zone, and severe storms can generate massive amounts of debris,downed tree branches, damaged fencing, waterlogged drywall, ruined flooring, and destroyed furniture. After a major storm, demand for dumpsters surges across Northeast Florida.
Storm season tip: If a hurricane or tropical storm is approaching, contact us early to reserve a 20 yard dumpster for post-storm cleanup. We prioritize existing reservations and can often deliver within 24 hours of roads being cleared. As a local company, we stay in Jacksonville through the storm,national brokers often pause service for days or weeks after major weather events.
15 Yard vs. 20 Yard Dumpster
The 15 yard and 20 yard are our two most popular sizes for mid-to-large projects in Jacksonville. They share the same 14' × 7.5' footprint,the 20 yard simply has taller walls (5.8' vs. 4.5'), which gives you 33% more capacity for only $50 more. Both include a 2-ton weight allowance and 5-day rental period.
Our recommendation after 2,000+ deliveries: If you are on the fence between 15 and 20 yards, size up. A second dumpster delivery costs far more than the $50 difference. The 20 yard is the right call for any project involving more than one room, construction debris, or an estate cleanout,and at $18.75/yard it is the best value per cubic yard we offer.
| Feature | 15 Yard | 20 Yard |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $325 | $375 |
| Capacity | 15 cubic yards | 20 cubic yards |
| Dimensions | 14' × 7.5' × 4.5' | 14' × 7.5' × 5.8' |
| Weight Limit | 2 tons (4,000 lbs) | 2 tons (4,000 lbs) |
| Truck Load Equiv. | 5 loads | 7 loads |
| Cost per Yard | $21.67/yd | $18.75/yd |
| Best For | Single-room remodels, roofing | Whole-house, construction, demo |
