Bayonne Porta Pros runs three main sizes: a 10 yard, a 20 yard and a 30 yard roll-off. The 20 yard is the one most homeowners and contractors end up booking, but the right pick depends on the job, the driveway, and how much debris you're actually hauling.
A 10 yard dumpster is the compact option, usually around 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall, though exact dumpster dimensions vary by manufacturer. It holds about 10 cubic yards of debris, roughly three pickup truck loads. That makes 10 yard dumpster sizes a fit for a bathroom gut, a small deck tear-out, or clearing out a garage in home renovation work around Bayonne. If you're pairing it with porta potty rental for a crew on site, the small footprint matters just as much as the debris capacity. You still need clearance to drop it. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so a short driveway or a tight alley off a Bayonne side street can rule this size out before you even get to the dumpster itself. Check dumpster weight limits before loading, since 10 yard dumpster measurements only tell you volume, not how much the truck can legally haul away.
A 20 yard dumpster typically runs about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4.5 feet tall, holding roughly double the volume of the 10 yard box. This is the size most Bayonne contractors default to for a kitchen remodel, a roof tear-off, or a full room renovation. The extra height means dumpster sizes 20 yard models hold bulkier items like cabinetry and old flooring without overfilling. It's still narrow enough for most residential curbs, but you'll want to confirm the same 60 foot straight-shot clearance behind the truck that any roll-off delivery needs. If you're not sure this is the right call, compare it against the 10 yard dumpster rental and the 30 yard dumpster rental before you book, or just check general roll-off dumpster rental options for the full lineup. Construction crews running multiple trades often pair this size with construction site services like fencing and toilets on the same delivery.
A 30 yard dumpster is the largest size most residential and commercial jobs need, running around 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 6 feet tall, the extra depth is what separates it from the 20 yard. That added height is what makes 30 yard dumpster size options work for whole-house cleanouts, large-scale demolition, or new construction debris in Bayonne. It still needs the same 60 feet of straight clearance behind the delivery truck, but because it's taller, loading heavy debris like drywall or shingles close to the top edge keeps the load legal. Anyone unsure whether they need this much capacity should read what cannot go in a dumpster first, since certain banned materials change the math on how much usable volume you actually have. For active job sites, pairing a 30 yard box with temporary fence rental keeps the perimeter secure between hauls.
Matching size to job type is the fastest way to avoid paying for a second haul. A single bathroom or small cleanout rarely fills a 10 yard box. A full kitchen or roof job usually needs the 20. Anything involving a full structure, an addition, or heavy debris volume points toward the 30.
| Job type | Recommended size | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom remodel | 10 yard | Small demo, limited debris |
| Garage cleanout | 10 yard | Furniture, boxes, light debris |
| Kitchen remodel | 20 yard | Cabinets, appliances, flooring |
| Roof tear-off | 20 yard | Shingles, underlayment |
| Whole-house cleanout | 30 yard | High volume, mixed debris |
| New construction | 30 yard | Framing scrap, drywall |
For daily rates, weekly rentals and monthly rates across all three sizes, the dumpster rental cost page breaks down current pricing bands. If your project runs longer than expected, construction dumpster rental covers extended-term options built for active job sites rather than one-time cleanouts.
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or curb rather than your own driveway, needs confirming with the city before delivery. If a roll-off has to sit on a public street in Bayonne rather than a private driveway, that's the situation where a permit question usually comes up. We don't have a specific ordinance number to cite here, so don't take a guess as gospel. Call the city directly or check dumpster permit requirements for what to ask about before your delivery date. Getting this wrong after the box is already dropped is a bigger headache than a five-minute phone call beforehand. If your job also involves sanitation for a crew, OSHA portable toilet requirements explains the facility ratios under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), which sets one toilet for 20 or fewer construction workers on site. That standard doesn't touch dumpster placement, but it's worth knowing if you're planning a multi-week job with porta potty rental running alongside the roll-off.
Bayonne sits close enough to several towns that comparing local options is easy. Harrison is about 9.8 miles north, Kearny is 11.4 miles north, and Linden runs 11.1 miles west, all within range if you're checking service areas for a job that spans city lines. Irvington is 10.6 miles northwest and Carteret sits 13.7 miles southwest, useful reference points if a project needs equipment delivered from a neighboring yard. For most Bayonne addresses, though, keeping the roll-off local keeps delivery windows tighter and cuts down on scheduling delays.
A 20 yard dumpster holds roughly double the volume of a 10 yard box, enough for a full kitchen remodel, a roof tear-off, or a mid-size renovation. Exact fill capacity depends on how dense the debris is. Heavy material like tile or concrete fills the weight limit before it fills the visual space.
A 10 yard dumpster usually covers a standard garage cleanout, holding about three pickup truck loads of furniture, boxes and light debris. If the garage is packed with heavier items or construction scrap, size up to a 20 yard to avoid a second trip.
The truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point to place a roll-off dumpster safely. Tight driveways, alleys, or sharp turns near the delivery spot can make this difficult, so measure the path before scheduling.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. Keeping the dumpster on a private driveway avoids that question entirely. If a driveway isn't an option, call the city or check porta potty permit requirements for the general permitting process, since sanitation and dumpster placement often get asked about together.
Both run about 22 feet long and 8 feet wide, but the 30 yard stands roughly 6 feet tall against the 20 yard's 4.5 feet. That extra height is where the added volume comes from, not extra length or width.
