A 20 yard trash dumpster, one of the most requested dumpster sizes for a 20 yard job, measures about 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 4.5 feet tall, and holds roughly 4 pickup truck loads of debris. It fits a kitchen remodel, a roof tear-off or a garage cleanout. Bayonne Porta Pros delivers a 20 yard roll-off dumpster rental across Bayonne, and typical rental runs $91 to $500 for a month depending on how long you keep it.
Picture a container roughly 22 feet by 7.5 feet, standing about 4.5 feet at the wall - those are the core 20 yard dumpster measurements to keep in mind when you're checking dumpster sizes 20 yard against your driveway or alley. That is enough volume for a full basement cleanout or a mid-size deck demo, without eating your whole driveway. If you are between sizes, compare it against the dumpster sizes and dimensions page before you book, since a 10 yard box runs smaller and a 30 yard runs longer. Bayonne driveways and rowhouse alleys are often tight, so measure your clearance first. A roll-off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the container down safely, so a short dead-end street or a packed curb in Bayonne can change where the driver places it. Ask about dumpster permit requirements if the container has to sit in the street rather than on your own property, since placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. We also handle construction dumpster rental for contractors running multiple pulls on one job.
Most household debris, wood, drywall, shingles, flooring and general construction waste all go in fine. What will not: tires, batteries, paint cans, and most appliances with refrigerant, along with anything flagged on our what cannot go in a dumpster list. Weight matters as much as volume. Concrete, dirt and roofing shingles get heavy fast, and going over your container's rated limit brings an overage charge, so check dumpster weight limits before you load. If your project is closer to yard waste and light debris, a 10 yard box may cost less; see 10 yard dumpster rental for that comparison. Bigger jobs, like a full home strip-out, often move up to a 30 yard dumpster rental or a 40 yard dumpster rental instead.
Pricing depends on how long you need the container and how it's picked up.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Delivery is billed separately, and a weekend rental for a fast Saturday cleanout runs a flat premium rather than a daily rate. Full breakdowns live on our dumpster rental cost page, and if you're comparing against porta potty pricing for a combined job, see porta potty rental cost too. For jobs needing both a dumpster and toilets on site, our construction site services page bundles the planning. OSHA 1926.25 requires scrap and debris to be cleared from active work areas, which is exactly why contractors in Bayonne keep a roll-off on site rather than letting waste pile up. If your load includes chute disposal from a multi-story renovation, OSHA 1926.252 covers that setup too.
Most renters keep it for a week or a month, and the price table above scales with duration. Day rentals suit quick cleanouts. If your project runs long, ask about swapping it out mid-job rather than paying overage on a packed container.
It depends on where the container sits. On your own driveway, usually no. On the street or sidewalk, you likely need approval, and that is not verified against a specific Bayonne rule here, so confirm with the city before placement. See dumpster permit requirements for guidance.
A 20 yard fits mid-size cleanouts and remodels. A 30 yard, covered on our 30 yard dumpster rental page, suits larger demolition or whole-house projects with heavier debris volume.
Some items are restricted. Appliances with refrigerant and certain electronics often need separate disposal. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before loading to avoid a rejected pickup.
Booking a few days ahead works for most jobs. Renovation season gets tighter. Bayonne sits about 9.8 miles south of Harrison and 11.4 miles south of Kearny, and trucks routing through that corridor fill up fast, so early scheduling helps. Request a quote to lock a delivery window.
