Most projects in Pasadena fit one of four roll-off sizes: the choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room you have for a container.

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

Steel arms secure the Roll-Off Container firmly on your driveway during delivery. Our drivers take care to position them away from vehicles, landscaping, and overhead obstacles. For specific placement guidelines or special requests, call (626) 681-0953. We'll confirm the exact specs before setting the container.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal for small jobs: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills the container quickly; it works well for a single-story roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in a driveway.

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

The 20-yard container is the go-to for mid-size work; it clears whole-house decluttering in one haul and a mid-size roof tear-off without extra trips. A single swap out covers the full week of demo and finish debris pulled by the crew.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Pasadena 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 bulk: home additions, full-house remodels, and large estate cleanouts in Pasadena. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for your project; it offers volume for framing, roofing, and general debris.

The 30-yard roll-off handles Pasadena home additions, full-kitchen and full-bath remodels, and weeklong job-site debris loads.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Pasadena 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: large 40-yard bin for commercial sites, often too tall for residential driveways.

The 40-yard container is built for new construction and large demolition work in the Pasadena metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—and the 8,000-pound rating covers a bulky mixed load without a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial cleanouts: crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the build and requires space on site.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Dense materials require a specialized lowboy: concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil. These loads are heavy—often reaching 10,000 pounds—so they differ from standard roofing tear-off square sizing. When working in Pasadena, we follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards to ensure the roll-off stays compliant for the job.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the pavement: this protects your driveway from damage. If the job mixes demolition concrete with a home tear-out — we pair the lowboy with a standard 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: the volume of debris, the weight of your load, and where the roll-off sits in Pasadena; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; 40-yard jobsite construction debris containers are for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like concrete hit the Tonnage limit before the container is full: bricks and C&D debris fill space quickly; choose your box size based on the specific material constraints for your project.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives: a 30-yard container requires overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard bin is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher in Pasadena to confirm your fit.
