A 10 yard dumpster runs about 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4 feet tall, a 20 yard is roughly 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 4.5 feet tall, and a 30 yard adds another 2 feet of height. Orem Porta Pros sizes the load before we size the box.
A 10 yard dumpster is the compact option, and it's the one Orem Porta Pros delivers most for garage cleanouts and small remodels. Expect a footprint close to 12 feet by 8 feet, standing about 4 feet tall at the walls. That low wall height matters if you've got drywall or shingles going in by hand, since you're not hoisting material over your shoulder. This 10 yard dumpster size, with its compact 10 yard dumpster dimensions, handles roughly 3 to 4 pickup truck loads, which is plenty for a single-room renovation or a yard cleanup. If you're gutting a bathroom or clearing a garage in home renovation porta potty territory, this is usually the right call. Delivery still needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, same as any roll-off, so check your driveway length before you book. Compare these 10 yard dumpster measurements against the 10 yard dumpster rental page for load estimates, or look at dumpster rental cost in Orem before you commit to a size.
Twenty yard dumpster measurements, and dumpster dimensions 20 yard buyers ask about most, land around 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall, roughly double the volume of the 10 yard box in a similar footprint. This is the size Orem Porta Pros moves most often for kitchen remodels, roof tear-offs, and mid-size cleanouts. The extra length holds bulkier material, old cabinetry, fence sections, framing lumber, without the wall height climbing much past the 10 yard unit. That's a real advantage on 20 yard dumpster size jobs, and it's why dumpster sizes 20 yard options get requested for hand-loaded debris rather than loader work. If you're running a construction crew in Orem and need restrooms on the same site, pair the dumpster with construction dumpster rental planning and check construction site services for the full setup, toilets, fencing, and waste in one delivery window. Placement still needs that 60 foot straight shot for the truck, and residential streets in Orem sometimes limit where the box can sit legally, so confirm with the city before delivery day.
A 30 yard dumpster size stretches to roughly 22 feet long and 8 feet wide, same footprint as the 20 yard, but the walls climb to about 6 feet. That extra 1.5 feet of height is where the volume comes from, not extra ground space, which matters if your driveway width is tight. Thirty yard boxes suit whole-home cleanouts, additions, and commercial demo where the debris pile is tall rather than wide. Because the wall height jumps, loading by hand gets harder past waist level, so a lot of Orem crews rent this size when they've got a loader or dumpster ramps on site. Check dumpster weight limits before you fill a 30 yard box with anything dense like concrete or shingles, since weight caps out before volume does on heavy debris. For anything larger, the 40 yard dumpster rental page covers the next step up, and dumpster permit requirements is worth a read if the box will sit in a street or right of way.
Match the size to the debris type, not just the volume, because a 10 yard box full of concrete weighs more than a 30 yard box full of insulation. Orem Porta Pros walks through this with every customer before delivery. Here's how the three common sizes stack up:
| size | length | width | height | typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | 12 ft | 8 ft | 4 ft | garage cleanout, small remodel |
| 20 yard | 22 ft | 8 ft | 4.5 ft | kitchen remodel, roof tear-off |
| 30 yard | 22 ft | 8 ft | 6 ft | whole-home cleanout, addition |
Standard roll-off rates run in the range covered on dumpster rental cost, and daily, weekly, and monthly terms are broken out there too. If you're not sure what's allowed in the box, what cannot go in a dumpster covers the common rejects, paint, tires, batteries, before they cost you a rejected pickup fee. For general size and layout comparisons across every yard size we carry, see roll-off dumpster rental, the pillar page for this whole category.
Placement comes down to clearance and surface, and Orem Porta Pros checks both before the truck rolls. The delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point to lower the box safely, so a short driveway or a sharp curb cut can rule out certain spots. A flat, stable surface, concrete or packed gravel, holds up better than soft lawn under a loaded 20 or 30 yard box. If the dumpster needs to sit in the street or a public right of way, placement rules aren't something we can guess at from a spec sheet, that needs confirming with the city of Orem directly before delivery. Provo sits about 5.6 miles southeast of Orem and Pleasant Grove is 6.4 miles northwest, and both have their own placement rules that differ from Orem's, so don't assume one city's answer covers another. Check dumpster permit requirements for what to ask the city, and dumpster sizes and dimensions links back here if you're comparing footprints again before you finalize a spot.
Weight limits depend on the material more than the yard size. Concrete, dirt, and shingles hit the weight cap long before the box fills up visually. Check dumpster weight limits for material-specific guidance before loading, since overage fees can cost more than the rental itself.
It depends on where the box sits. Placement on your own driveway usually needs no permit, but street or right-of-way placement needs confirming directly with the city of Orem. See dumpster permit requirements before delivery day.
Rental terms run day, week, or month depending on your project pace, and pricing scales with duration. The dumpster rental cost page breaks out day, week, and month rates side by side so you can compare before booking.
Most roof tear-offs fit a 20 yard box, sometimes a 30 yard if it's a large or multi-layer roof. Shingles are heavy, so weight caps out before volume on most roofing jobs. Ask about dumpster weight limits when you book.
Some appliances need separate handling due to refrigerants or hazardous components. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before loading anything with a compressor or coolant line, since it can void the pickup.
