Compare sizes

Most projects in the Harlingen 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 container room available.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Harlingen 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 a typical Harlingen garage cleanout or single-room remodel: shingles, drywall scraps, and packed boxes. We set the bin on driveway boards to protect the apron of your driveway, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits most household clear-outs.

A 10-yard roll-off is the right choice for dense C&D debris: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full; use this for a roof tear-off when you need a small bin, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads.

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

The 20-Yard Container clears whole-house cleanouts and mid-size roof tear-offs in one trip. On full demo job sites, a single swap-out keeps crews moving without downtime. Call (956) 405-1329 to reserve yours today.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Harlingen 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

The 30-yard dumpster is built for large projects in Harlingen; it handles home additions or full-house remodels: the container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for clearing out bulky framing debris on your long-term site.

The 30-yard roll-off fits Harlingen home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong jobsite output.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Harlingen 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: best for large commercial sites and too tall for most residential driveways

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Harlingen metro: we drop it with a hooklift truck; the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris without requiring a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off is our largest container sized for new construction and major commercial cleanouts: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when site clearing runs in parallel with building.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—because these dense materials bottom out a standard roll-off long before it looks full. This equipment differs from roofing tear-off square sizing, though we follow all EPA construction and demolition material management standards for waste disposal across Harlingen.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before a single piece of debris hits the ground: this protects the surface of your driveway. 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: volume, weight, and placement in Harlingen. A 10-yard or 20-yard bin works for most; a 30-yard roll-off handles remodels; only large demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers to manage the load.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense masonry materials fill a container by tonnage quickly; light C&D debris fills a box by volume: choose your size for the limit you will hit first when loading your waste for disposal.

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 belongs in a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher with your driveway for confirmation.
