The 20 Yard Roll Off: Our Most Requested Size
Waist-High Walls and Room for a Whole KitchenIf you're not sure which size to get, this is usually the answer. A 20 yard roll off dumpster is the steel bin our truck slides off its frame onto your driveway, and it has walls about waist high: 4 feet, on a box 20 feet long and 7 feet wide. A whole kitchen fits, cabinets and all. Tyler Superior Dumpster Rental provides 20 yard dumpster rental to Tyler and surrounding Texas cities, including Lindale, Whitehouse, Bullard, Chandler and Winona.
Honestly, most people who call about a 15 should take the 20. It's only $20 more, and a second trip for a second can costs a lot more than that. The exception is heavy stuff like tile or concrete, which belongs in a 15 yard dumpster. Gutting a whole house? Look at the 30 yard dumpster.

What People Use a 20 Yard Roll Off For
Four jobs make up most of our 20 yard calls. Each one is bulky, but not so heavy that 2 tons runs out early.
Kitchen Remodels
Cabinets, countertops, a few sheets of drywall, the old floor and the range. That's 1.5 to 2.5 tons and most of a 20 yard can. Granite or quartz tops are the heavy part, so mention them when you call. Last spring a kitchen job off Old Jacksonville Highway came in at 2.3 tons, about $20 over.
Carpet and Flooring Tear-Outs
Carpet is light: the EPA puts it at about 147 pounds per cubic yard, and the pad under it at 62. Carpet out of a whole three-bedroom house rarely tops a ton. Tile is another story. Roll the carpet tight and tape it, and you'll fit twice as much.
Deck and Fence Removal
Clean lumber is about 169 pounds per cubic yard, so an old deck or a long run of picket fence fills space long before it fills tons. Cut posts and long boards to lie flat. If the posts come out with concrete footings, tell us, because those add weight fast.
Moving and Move-Out Cleanouts
Couches, a dresser, the stuff in the attic nobody opened since 2012. A 20 yard handles a move-out from a two or three-bedroom house, though mattress sets carry an extra fee. Bigger estates are on our cleanout dumpster rental page.
20 Yard Dumpster Dimensions
It's 20 feet long, 7 feet wide and 4 feet high, so it holds 20 cubic yards. Think of it the way a hay hauler counts: about six to eight pickup beds heaped once. On the ground it takes up a bit more than a parked pickup, and most Tyler driveways have room.
If your driveway is short or slopes hard, tell us when you call. We can angle the can, set it on the parking pad beside the garage, or put it in the yard on firm, dry ground. Our drivers have dropped 20s into some tight spots off Broadway and in the older streets near downtown. The one thing we can't do is set it under a low power line.
20 Yard Dumpster Rental Prices in Tyler
These totals start at $345 with 2 tons in, then add $50 to $70 for each extra ton. Tonnage check: weight, not space, is what moves the price.

Tires, mattress sets and other extra-fee items aren't in these numbers, and we'll quote them up front.
Ways to Keep a 20 Yard Under 2 Tons
- Leave dirt, rock and concrete out unless we planned for them at booking
- Throw a tarp over it when a storm rolls in, since wet sheetrock soaks up water
- Knock apart cabinets and dressers so they lie flat instead of trapping air
- Spread the heavy pieces across the floor first, front to back
Getting Ready for Your 20 Yard Dumpster
Where Should the Dumpster Go?
Almost always the driveway. Pick a spot with about 60 feet of straight room for the truck to back in and nothing hanging low, then we set boards down and drop it. Rails on boards.
Does Rain Change the Weight?
It does. Tyler averages about 47 inches of rain a year, and soaked drywall or carpet can weigh a lot more than dry. A cheap tarp over the can during a storm week can save you an overage. We've seen a week of May rain push a flooring job over 2 tons.
Do I Need to Be Home for Delivery?
No. Text a photo of the spot, maybe with a chair or a cone where you want the front end, and we'll call ahead and set it there. Plenty of customers in Bullard and Chandler are at work when we drop.
Should I Get Two 15s Instead of One 20?
Usually not. One 20 at $345 beats two 15s at $650. The only time we suggest two cans is when a job has a pile of concrete and a garage full of junk, so the heavy stuff rides low in its own can and the light stuff gets the room.
20 Yard Dumpster FAQs
How big is a 20 yard dumpster?
A 20 yard dumpster measures 20 feet long, 7 feet wide and 4 feet high. It holds 20 cubic yards of debris, which is about six to eight heaped pickup loads. On the ground it needs a space a little larger than a parked pickup, plus room for the truck to back in straight.
How much is a 20 yard dumpster rental in Tyler, TX?
A 20 yard dumpster rental in Tyler starts at $345. That price covers delivery, pickup, a 7-day rental and 2 tons of landfill weight. Each extra ton costs $50 to $70. Most kitchen remodels, carpet jobs and move-outs come in between $345 and about $380.
How many pickup loads fit in a 20 yard dumpster?
About six to eight heaped pickup loads fit in a 20 yard dumpster. A standard pickup bed holds roughly 2 to 3 cubic yards when it's piled up, and the dumpster holds 20. If you'd need more than three or four trips to the landfill, a dumpster is usually cheaper.
What happens if my 20 yard dumpster goes over 2 tons?
You pay $50 to $70 for each ton over the 2 included. The load is weighed on the landfill scale, and we call you if it looks like it'll go over before any charge applies. A full can of mixed remodel debris usually lands between 2 and 3 tons.
Can a 20 yard dumpster hold a kitchen remodel?
Yes. A typical kitchen remodel, with cabinets, countertops, drywall, flooring and old appliances, fits in a 20 yard dumpster and weighs about 1.5 to 2.5 tons. Stone countertops push it toward the top of that range. Fridges need their freon removed first.
How long can I keep a 20 yard dumpster?
Our standard rental is 7 days, and you can keep it longer if we set that up when you book. If you finish early, call and we'll pick it up the same day or the next. Contractors who need it for weeks can get swaps instead of one long rental.
