A 20 yard roll-off dumpster rental measures about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4.5 feet tall, and these 20 yard dumpster measurements mean it holds roughly 8 pickup truck loads of debris. Medford Porta Pros sets these boxes for kitchen remodels, roof tear-offs and garage cleanouts, and delivery runs $91 to $500 for the month depending on how long you keep it.
Dumpster dimensions on a 20 yard box put it at the middle-size range among dumpster sizes 20 yard buyers usually compare, and it is the middle-size box in most fleets, bigger than the 10 yard dumpster rental but well under the 30 yard dumpster rental footprint. Picture it against a two-car garage: it sits lower than a standard portable toilet rental unit, which stands about 92 inches tall, but it stretches out much farther on the ground. For exact numbers across the whole lineup, check dumpster sizes and dimensions. The truck dropping it needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the unit, so a short Medford driveway or a tight alley off a side street can change where we set it. We walk the site with you first, whether that is a driveway in West Medford or a lot near Tufts. If the box has to sit on a public street instead of your property, placement needs confirming with the city, since we cannot state a permit rule here without checking it against Medford's current code. Our dumpster permit requirements page covers what to ask about before delivery day.
Construction debris, furniture, drywall and yard waste are the usual fill for this size, and a 20 yard trash dumpster is the workhorse for construction dumpster rental jobs across Medford. Paint cans, tires, batteries, refrigerants and anything flammable are the common exclusions, and our what cannot go in a dumpster guide lists the rest before you load anything you would have to pull back out. Weight matters as much as volume. Roofing shingles and concrete fill the weight limit long before they fill the box, and going over means a reweigh charge, so read dumpster weight limits before a demo job. On active job sites we set this dumpster next to a standard porta potty rental or an ADA accessible porta potty, and OSHA 1926.25 covers keeping the work area clear of scrap and debris while OSHA 1926.252 addresses how waste gets moved off a site, including chutes and enclosures on multi-story tear-outs.

Day rentals suit a one-afternoon cleanout, week rentals fit a full remodel, and the monthly rate on longer jobs often beats paying week to week if the project runs past a few weeks. Delivery is billed separately and typically falls between $100 and $500 depending on distance and access, similar to the delivery fees we quote on restroom trailer rental jobs. For the full breakdown across every size, see dumpster rental cost, and if your project is closer to a full teardown, compare against the 40 yard dumpster rental before you commit to 20.
Most renters keep one for a week to a month. Daily rentals cover a single cleanout day, while month-long rentals suit renovations. Swap-outs are available if the box fills before the job is done. Ask about extending when you book through request a quote.
It depends on where the dumpster sits. Driveway placement usually needs no permit, but street placement needs confirming with the city, since we have not verified Medford's specific ordinance. See dumpster permit requirements before delivery.
Most kitchen remodels, roof tear-offs and garage cleanouts fit inside a 20 yard roll-off dumpster without needing to size up. If you are filling it with heavy material like shingles or concrete, weight limits become the deciding factor before volume does. Talk through your project with us before booking.
A 20 yard box suits a single-room remodel or garage cleanout, while a 30 yard handles a whole-house job or new construction. Height and length both increase. Compare specs on 30 yard dumpster rental before choosing.
