Big Jobs in Jacksonville and When One 20 Yard Dumpster Is Not Enough

Big Jobs in Jacksonville and When One 20 Yard Dumpster Is Not Enough

Whole-house renovations, estate cleanouts and commercial tear-outs can outgrow one container. A 20 yard dumpster with a swap adds volume, keeps crews loading and stays inside driveway and HOA limits.

From $299 with delivery and pickup. Order before 4 PM for same-day delivery.

How Big Jobs Are Handled in Jacksonville

Some projects produce more debris than one container holds. A gut renovation, a full estate cleanout or a commercial tear-out can fill a 20 yard dumpster before the work is done. The fix is a swap. We haul the full container and leave an empty one, so your crew keeps loading with no downtime. In Duval County, two 20 yard rentals total $798 for 40 cubic yards and 4 included tons. Order before 4 PM, Monday through Saturday, for same-day delivery.

Why a Swap Beats One Oversized Container

  • •Easier loading. A 20 yard has 5.8 foot walls that most adults can toss over without a ladder.
  • •Fits the driveway. The 20 yard footprint is 14 x 7.5 feet, which suits most driveways and HOA placement rules.
  • •No stalled work. The empty replacement arrives as the full one leaves.
  • •Better weight control. Each load carries its own 2 ton allowance, so heavy materials do not push one container far over.
  • Contractor? Sign up for monthly rentals

    Volume pricing on 3 or more containers per month, net-30 billing, same-day swap-outs.

    Projects That Usually Need a Swap

    Whole-House Renovations

    A down-to-studs renovation produces drywall, flooring, cabinets, fixtures and trim. Plan one 20 yard per major phase, demolition first and finish work second.

    Estate and Hoarder Cleanouts

    Emptying a house plus attic, garage and shed can pass 25 cubic yards. A swap lets family members load safely at ground level instead of climbing.

    Roof Tear-Offs on Large Homes

    Shingles are heavy, so weight is the limit before space is. Two 20 yard loads keep each haul under its weight allowance. Heavy materials like concrete should go in a dedicated concrete disposal dumpster.

    Commercial Tenant Turnovers

    Office and retail tear-outs generate uniform debris fast. Our commercial dumpster rental and construction dumpster rental services schedule repeat swaps around your timeline.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A 20 yard holds about 6 to 7 pickup loads. If your project is bigger than a single room renovation, garage cleanout or roof tear-off, plan for a swap from the start.

    When the container is full, call us. We take the full container to disposal and leave an empty one in the same spot. Each container is billed at its flat size rate.

    A 20 yard includes 2 tons and a 15 yard includes 1.5 tons. Extra weight is $75 per ton in Duval County and $100 per ton in Clay, St. Johns and Nassau counties.

    Same-day service is available on orders placed before 4 PM, Monday through Saturday, depending on route capacity. Call early on busy days.
