20 Yard Dumpster Rental in Snellville, GA
The 20 yard is the container people picture when they think of a dumpster, and the one most often requested. It's the versatile middle size that suits the widest range of jobs - though for genuinely heavy debris we'll often steer you to a 15 instead.

The versatile middle size
The 20 yard earns its popularity by covering the broad middle of the market: multi-room remodels, substantial cleanouts, roof tear-offs and deck removals all fit comfortably. If you're not sure and the debris is a general household mix, it's usually the safe choice.
Watch the weight
The one thing to watch is weight. Because a 20 yard holds real volume, it's easy to fill it with heavy material and run over the tonnage before it's full. On a job heavy with tile, plaster, clay or shingles, the 15 yard filled properly is often the smarter, cheaper option - and we'll tell you so.
Good for roof tear-offs, with a caveat
For a roof tear-off the 20 yard is a common choice, but remember shingles are dense: a 20 can reach its weight allowance looking half empty, which is expected. Tell us the squares and layers and we'll confirm whether one container covers the job or whether you'll want a swap.

(770) 746-706220 Yard Dumpster: common questions
What can I fit in a 20 yard dumpster?
Roughly eight pickup loads - enough for a multi-room remodel, a big cleanout, a roof tear-off or a whole-house flooring removal. It's the versatile middle size that suits most general household projects.
Is the 20 yard right for a roof tear-off?
Often, yes - but shingles are dense, so a 20 yard can reach its weight limit while it still looks half full. That's normal. Tell us the squares and layers and we'll confirm whether one covers it.
Should I get a 20 or a 15?
If the debris is bulky and light, the 20. If it's dense - tile, plaster, clay, shingles - the 15 filled properly is usually cheaper, because you'd hit the weight limit in the 20 before filling it. We'll help you choose.
