20 YARD DUMPSTER RENTAL

Ocala's Most Popular Dumpster

Ask any contractor in Marion County: the 20 yard hits the sweet spot of capacity, driveway footprint, and cost per cubic yard. Enough room for a serious project, low enough walls that hand-loading stays easy, and it still sits on a standard driveway — on boards, exactly where you want it.

Perfect For

On job sites, the 20 is the can Ocala builders call for first — and when it fills, we swap it fast so the crew never stalls.

20 vs. 30 — the Honest Answer

Take the 30 yard when volume is bulky but light — furniture, framing, cardboard-heavy cleanouts. Stick with the 20 when debris is dense (shingles, tile, plaster): you'll hit the weight allowance before the walls anyway, and the smaller can costs less. We size honestly — it's why Ocala keeps calling back. More in the size guide, or text photos to (352) 581-2576.

What actually fills a 20 yard in Ocala

The 20 earns its popularity on jobs like these — real projects, real debris lists, and an honest verdict on fit for each one.

A roof tear-off on an Ocala ranch

Shingles, felt, drip edge, ridge caps, and the handful of rotten decking sheets every tear-off finds. Roofers measure in squares — one square covers a hundred square feet of roof — and most single-story Ocala homes land somewhere in the twenties. By volume a 20 yard takes all of it easily; the real question is weight, covered below. This is the can our roofing dumpster service is built around, and no, a 30 yard does not help — shingles run out of tonnage long before they run out of walls.

A whole-home cleanout in the historic district

Every mattress, dresser, sofa, and box in the house, plus the shed nobody has opened since the last hurricane season. A full household of furniture and general junk fits a 20 with room to walk the last loads in. If the attic and garage rival the house itself — decades of accumulation, hoarding-level volume — start with the 30 yard instead.

A kitchen plus two bathrooms

The multi-room remodel: full cabinet runs, two vanities, a tub, tile, and drywall from every wall you touched. The 20 handles it as one load. The caveat is dense debris again — if tile on mortar runs through the whole house, keep that fraction separate in a 10 yard and let the 20 carry the bulk.

A deck and fence demo before a pool install

Deck boards, joists, railing, and a full fence run of panels and posts. Demolition lumber is bulky and light, so the 20 takes a deck and fence together with air to spare. If the shed and the porch roof are coming down the same week, that is a whole-property clear-out — size up to the 30.

Two tons, shingles, and the honest math

The $449 rate includes 2 tons of disposal. Three-tab shingles weigh roughly 225 to 250 pounds a square, so about 16 to 17 squares ride inside the allowance; architectural shingles are heavier, closer to 10 or 11 squares per 2 tons — and a second layer doubles everything. Bigger roofs are not a bigger-can problem, they are a two-load plan: load to the allowance, we swap, the crew keeps working. Concrete or clay roof tile is several times heavier again — call us before booking a tile job. Household loads are the opposite story: a 20 yard of furniture and boxes rarely comes near 2 tons. The weight limits guide lays out the full material-by-material table.

Getting a 20 delivered in Ocala

Because the 20 is the size most Ocala calls ask for, the fleet runs tightest in spring and right after storms — booking a day ahead guarantees your slot, and a morning call still lands same-day more often than not. On delivery the driver walks the placement with you: downtown and in the historic district that means planning around grand oaks and overhead lines before the can comes off the truck. Boards go under the rails every time, and the can stays on the concrete rather than digging into your yard. Roofing crews: tell us which side of the house the tear-off starts on and we will spot the can so the crew tosses straight off the eave. Book the 20 yard online and pick your day.
