How to Pick a Size From This Chart
The dumpster sizes chart above lists every standard roll-off size, but in practice almost every Jacksonville home project lands in the 10, 15, or 20 yard range. Two numbers in the chart decide which one fits: volume in cubic yards and weight limit in tons. Volume tells you how much debris the container holds; weight limit tells you whether the contents push you into an overage charge.
For light, bulky debris like furniture, drywall, or attic clutter, volume is the limit you hit first - so size up. For heavy debris like concrete, dirt, roofing shingles, or tile, weight is the limit you hit first - so the smaller dense-load size often wins. A 10 yard half-full of concrete is cheaper than a 15 yard with a weight overage.
When you are genuinely between two sizes, sizing up at 904 Dumpster only costs $50 more, not 50% more. A second mid-project delivery costs another $299+. The math almost always favors going one size up.

Dumpster Sizes - Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the size questions Jacksonville homeowners ask most.
Standard residential roll-off dumpster sizes are 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards. The 10, 15, and 20 yard sizes cover almost every home project, which is why 904 Dumpster carries those three. 30 and 40 yard containers are used mostly for new construction and full-home demolition where the lot can fit a longer truck.
The 15 yard dumpster is the most popular residential size in Jacksonville. It handles roofing tear-offs, kitchen remodels, and medium-sized cleanouts while still fitting in a standard driveway. The 10 yard wins for tight driveways and small jobs; the 20 yard wins for whole-house projects.
For a single room or garage cleanout, a 10 yard handles it. For 2-3 rooms or a moderate cleanout, the 15 yard fits. For a whole-house or estate cleanout, choose the 20 yard. When you are between two sizes, sizing up at 904 Dumpster only costs $50 more, not double, so the 20 is the safer pick if you are unsure.
A 4 yard dumpster is the small steel front-load container you see permanently parked behind restaurants, gas stations, and small offices. It is roughly 6 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 4 feet tall, and it is built for weekly trash service, not project debris. For a one-time home cleanout or renovation, a 10 yard roll-off is the right starting size instead.
A 20 yard dumpster holds 20 cubic yards of debris (about 7 pickup truck loads), with a typical footprint of 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 5.8 feet tall. A 25 yard is uncommon in the residential roll-off market; most haulers jump straight from 20 to 30. The closest real next step up from a 904 Dumpster 20 yard is a 30 yard, which holds 50% more volume and is reserved for full-home demolition or large construction projects.
For a one-time, small load that fits in your pickup truck, a single trip to the Trail Ridge Landfill is cheaper than renting. For anything larger - a full room, a roof tear-off, or 2+ truckloads of debris - a 904 Dumpster roll-off is cheaper once you factor in fuel, your time, multiple landfill gate fees ($35-50 per trip), and the limits on what fits in a pickup. Most Jacksonville homeowners hit break-even at 2-3 truckloads.
Standard roll-off dumpster dimensions at 904 Dumpster: 10 yard is 12 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, 3.6 feet high; 15 yard is 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, 4.5 feet high; 20 yard is 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, 5.8 feet high. All three fit a standard residential driveway and require about 14 feet of overhead clearance for the delivery truck.
