20-Yard Dumpster: Frequently Asked Questions
It holds 20 cubic yards of debris, which is roughly equivalent to 8 to 10 standard pickup truck loads. It’s the ideal size for a full kitchen gut, a 2,500 sq. ft. basement cleanout, or a medium-sized roofing job.
Yes, this is the industry standard for roofing. A 20-yard bin can typically hold 50 to 60 “squares” of asphalt shingles (one square = 100 sq. ft.). However, shingles are heavy; if you have multiple layers of roofing, let us know so we can ensure you stay within legal weight limits.
We generally recommend our 10-yard bins for “clean fill” (concrete, brick, or dirt). Because a 20-yard bin is so large, filling it with concrete would exceed the legal weight limit for NYC roads and make it impossible for our trucks to lift safely.
It measures approximately 19 feet long and 7.5 feet wide. This is about the size of a large van or a suburban SUV. It will fit in most standard Staten Island driveways but will take up about two parking spaces if placed on a Brooklyn street.
Driveway Placement: No permit is required.
Street Placement: In Brooklyn and Staten Island, the NYC DOT requires a permit for any container placed on a public street or sidewalk. As a registered carter, Capri Carting handles the permit logistics so your job stays legal and fine-free.
Our drivers are experts at precision placement. We aim to leave enough room for you to access your garage or for pedestrians to use the sidewalk, provided the drop-off area is clear of parked cars on delivery day.
For safety and legal reasons, your debris must be “level-full.” If items are sticking out above the rim, our drivers cannot legally haul the load on NYC bridges or highways.
