Specifications
The 20 yard at a glance
Dimensions
22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high
Capacity
20 cubic yards — holds about 110–130 bags
Weight included
3–4 tons included in the flat rate
Driveway space needed
About 25 ft long × 10 ft wide, plus door swing
Flat-rate pricing across the lineup is based on the size you choose, the debris type and the rental period — delivery, pickup and disposal are all rolled into that one number, no hidden fees. Debris needs to stay below the container's top rail on every size so our driver can haul it safely, and that holds whether it lands on your driveway or, on the rare job that needs the street instead, wherever the local permit rules allow.
Is this the one?
When the 20 yard is the right call
If we could keep only one container size, this would be it. At 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high it carries a 3–4 ton allowance and holds roughly 110 to 130 bags — enough for a genuine medium remodel, a roofing job or light construction, while still fitting a normal single-family driveway across Staten Island and the rest of Richmond County. This is also the size we point people toward for storm-debris cleanup. Hurricane Sandy came ashore on October 29, 2012, and hit Midland Beach, New Dorp Beach and Oakwood Beach among the hardest anywhere on the island — basement cleanouts and water-damaged item removal are exactly the kind of job a 20 yard's weight allowance is built to handle when a serious storm event calls for it.
It's also the right call on plenty of jobs people first think need a 30. General remodel debris — drywall, flooring, siding, cabinets — will usually fill a 20's weight allowance before it fills a 30's volume. Concrete, dirt, brick and heavier masonry are better routed to a 10 for that portion of the job — mixing dense material into a full 20 yard load is the fastest way to run over the included weight, and everything still needs to stay below the top rail. Any ground-disturbing work near a job site — a driveway apron, a fence post, in-ground work of any kind, not the dumpster placement itself — requires a call to New York 811 first, the real one-call utility-locate service covering all five NYC boroughs including Staten Island.
Straight advice: The one to default to when you're genuinely unsure. It's rarely the wrong answer for a remodel, a roof or a storm-debris haul — just route concrete, dirt, brick and masonry to a 10 instead, and keep everything below the top rail.
Ideal for
- Medium remodels with drywall, flooring and general debris
- Roofing jobs and light construction
- Storm and flood-debris cleanup after a major weather event
- Basement cleanouts and water-damaged item removal
- Most Staten Island driveways without crowding the garage
- The default when a job description doesn't clearly point to a 10, 15 or 30

How it sizes up against the others

Answers
20 Yard Dumpster questions
What fits in a 20 yard dumpster in Staten Island?
A medium remodel with drywall, flooring and general debris, a roofing job, or light construction debris. It holds roughly 110 to 130 bags of material and a 3–4 ton weight allowance — the size most Staten Island jobs land on when the project is bigger than a single room but not a full whole-home gut.
Is a 20 yard dumpster right for storm-debris cleanup?
Often, yes. Neighborhoods like Midland Beach, New Dorp Beach and Oakwood Beach were among the hardest hit when Hurricane Sandy came ashore in October 2012, and a 20 yard's weight allowance is well suited to basement cleanup and water-damaged item removal after a serious storm event.
Do I need to call before I dig near my construction site?
If the job involves any ground-disturbing work near the dumpster — a driveway apron, a fence post, or any in-ground work, not just placing the container itself — call New York 811 first. It's the real one-call utility-locate service covering all five NYC boroughs including Staten Island, and it's free.
