$400-$550
2-4 tons
90-130 trash bags
Best for whole-home cleanouts, kitchen remodels, and roof tear-offs on an average Buffalo double. It is the most commonly rented size in Buffalo because it strikes a balance most homeowners need without paying for space they will not use. Call (716) 415-6801 and we will help you size it correctly.
The 20-yard is our mid-size container: 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4.5 feet high, with 2 to 4 tons included.
Asphalt shingles are heavy, and extra layers add weight. When you call, tell us the size of the roof and how many layers are coming off so we can check the weight allowance against the job.
Cabinets, countertops, flooring and drywall add up quickly. If tile, plaster or masonry is involved, it weighs more than you would expect.
At 22 feet long it needs a clear path and room to set down. If your driveway is short, ask us whether it will fit or whether street placement with a permit makes more sense. Stuck between a 20 and a 30? If you are clearing a whole house or taking down walls, go up.
| Size | Dimensions | Included weight | Typical price | Holds about | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 12 ft L x 8 ft W x 3.5 ft H | 1-2 tons | About $250 | 50-70 trash bags | Single-room cleanouts, small bathroom demos, modest yard cleanups |
| 20 Yard | 22 ft L x 8 ft W x 4.5 ft H | 2-4 tons | $400-$550 | 90-130 trash bags | Whole-home cleanouts, kitchen remodels, roof tear-offs |
| 30 Yard | 22 ft L x 8 ft W x 6 ft H | 3-5 tons | $500-$650 | 130-180 trash bags | Large remodels, estate cleanouts, small commercial jobs |
| 40 Yard | 22 ft L x 8 ft W x 8 ft H | 4-6 tons | $650-$800 | 180-250 trash bags | New construction, major demolition, commercial buildouts |
Prices are typical ranges and vary by location, debris type and rental length. Heavy material such as concrete or dirt reaches the weight allowance faster than its volume suggests. Call (716) 415-6801 for an exact quote.
A 20-yard dumpster holds about 90 to 130 standard trash bags worth of material. It is the size most Buffalo homeowners rent for a whole-home cleanout, kitchen remodel, or roof tear-off.
A 20-yard dumpster in Buffalo typically costs $400 to $550, including delivery, pickup, and a 2 to 4 ton weight allowance. A street placement permit adds $50-$100 if your project needs one.
For most single-family homes, yes, but asphalt shingles are heavy. A steep or multi-layer roof can hit the weight allowance before the container looks full, so mention your roof size when you book so we can confirm the right weight limit.
It depends on where the container sits, not on its size. If it stays entirely on your driveway or private lot, the City of Buffalo does not require a permit. If any part sits on the street or sidewalk, Buffalo requires a right-of-way work permit, and its Green Code lists dumpster placement under that permit. Confirm the current steps with the Department of Public Works before delivery.
It is 22 feet long and 8 feet wide, so you need a clear straight path and room to set it down. Some short or narrow driveways cannot take it. In that case, ask about a 10-yard or about street placement with a permit.
