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

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Pasadena 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 smaller jobs in the Pasadena area: garage cleanouts, attic clear-outs, or single-room remodels. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit works with typical household debris.

A 10-yard roll-off is for projects with high density: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a container before the volume looks full; this works for a roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads.

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 Pasadena: whole-house decluttering, mid-size roof tear-offs, and large flooring jobs. The 22-foot length fits on most residential drives; the 4,000-pound rating handles shingles with framing scrap for your site.

The 20-Yard Container clears whole-house clutter, mid-size roof tear-offs, and week-long remodel debris in a single load and trip. Requires a swap-out? Call (626) 681-0953.

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 handles large estate cleanouts and framing debris in Pasadena: its height provides significant volume for your project. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for full-house remodels; the capacity supports ongoing work.

The 30-yard roll-off handles Pasadena home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong job sites.

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: fits commercial sites and large lots but exceeds typical residential driveway height limits

The 40-yard container handles large demolition and construction debris in the Pasadena metro: we drop this unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed load to ensure you finish the job without a second pull.

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

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy—rated for 10,000 pounds—rather than a standard roll-off used for roofing tear-off square sizing. We follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when disposing of these heavy loads in Pasadena. Low side walls allow for easier loading of your debris.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects your property 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: volume of debris, weight, and where the roll-off sits on your driveway; a 10-yard or 20-yard works for most in Pasadena; a 30-yard is for remodels; and 40-yard jobsite construction debris containers are for demolitions.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy materials like concrete fill a container before the box is full: the dense tonnage of masonry hits the limit early; lighter C&D debris fills the volume with space to spare for bulky items.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

Placement depends on the size of your container: a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives; a 30-yard requires overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher.
