A 20 yard roll-off dumpster holds about 20 cubic yards of debris, roughly 4 to 6 pickup truck loads, and fits most kitchen remodels, roof tear-offs, and garage cleanouts in Hollywood, and it is one of the most requested 20 yard dumpster sizes we book alongside the 20 yard dumpster rental page itself. Hollywood Porta Pros delivers them on a schedule that works around your job, not the other way around.
A 20 yard roll-off dumpster rental runs about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall on the box itself, and those 20 yard dumpster measurements are the ones customers ask about most when comparing a 20 yard trash dumpster to other sizes. That footprint is the middle child of our lineup: bigger than a 10 yard dumpster rental, smaller than a 30 yard dumpster rental or a 40 yard storage container sized job. If you are still comparing dumpster dimensions 20 yard against other dumpster sizes 20 yard and up, the full breakdown lives on dumpster sizes and dimensions, and our portable toilet rental crews often deliver both to the same job site. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the unit to drop and pull the box safely, so a driveway in a tight Hollywood neighborhood off US-1 may need a quick look before drop-off. We plan that clearance with every roll-off dumpster rental we book, whether it is going curbside or on a job site. Weight matters too. Loading it past the rated limit triggers overage fees, and shingles or concrete fill it fast even when the box still looks half empty; see dumpster weight limits before you load anything dense, and if the job also needs a temporary fence rental to secure the site, plan that at the same time.
Paint, tires, batteries, and most chemicals are off limits in a standard roll-off, along with anything flagged by the county as hazardous waste. Full guidance sits on what cannot go in a dumpster, and it is worth a read before the truck shows up, because a rejected load costs time and sometimes a second delivery fee, the same way we advise checking porta potty permit requirements before a restroom lands curbside. Renovation debris, furniture, yard waste, and general construction scrap are all fine. If your project involves a permit for placement on a public street in Hollywood, that is a city matter we cannot answer with a blanket rule; check current requirements on dumpster permit requirements or with the city directly before the box lands in the right of way, much like porta potty placement guide recommends confirming placement before a unit arrives.
Pricing depends on how long you keep the box and what goes in it. Here is where a 20 yard unit typically lands against daily, weekly, and monthly rental windows.
| Duration | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Day | $51 - $112 |
| Week | $426 - $778 |
| Month | $91 - $500 |
A delivery fee usually applies on top of the rental rate, and that alone can run from $100 to $500 depending on distance and scheduling. For a side-by-side on all sizes, see dumpster rental cost, and if you are budgeting a full job site, compare it against porta potty rental cost too. Contractors running multi-week jobs often do better on a week-long booking than several short ones stacked together; if your project is bigger than a single dumpster can handle, pair it with construction dumpster rental planning up front, alongside construction site services like fencing and a storage container rental for tools.
About 20 cubic yards, which is roughly 4 to 6 full pickup truck loads. That is enough for a single room gut, a mid-size deck removal, or a garage cleanout. Heavier material like tile or concrete will hit the weight cap before the box fills up visually, so check dumpster weight limits first.
It depends on where the box sits. Driveway placement usually needs no permit, but street or right-of-way placement is a city decision that is not standardized here, so confirm current rules with Hollywood before delivery. Start with dumpster permit requirements for the general framework.
Most renters keep one for a week, but day and month terms are both available. Longer terms cost more in total but less per day, so a week often beats renting daily three separate times. The same monthly porta potty rental style logic applies here too, so weigh your timeline against the table above.
A 30 yard box holds 50 percent more volume and suits whole-house cleanouts or larger renovation jobs. If you are unsure which fits, dumpster sizes and dimensions walks through both side by side before you commit to either one.
Same-day delivery depends on route and inventory that day. Jobs near Dania Beach, 2.5 miles north, or Hallandale Beach, 7.6 miles southeast, often work into an existing route faster. Call ahead and we will confirm what is realistic for your address and timeline.
