A 20 yard roll-off dumpster holds about 20 cubic yards of debris, works for roof tear-offs, garage cleanouts and mid-size remodels, and typically runs $91 to $500 for a month depending on how long you keep it. Gardena Porta Pros delivers it with about 60 feet of straight clearance needed behind the truck.
Dumpster sizes for the 20 yard box run roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and just under 4 feet tall, though exact dumpster dimensions can shift slightly by manufacturer. That footprint fits a driveway in most Gardena neighborhoods without spilling onto the sidewalk. If you are unsure whether this box or something bigger fits your project, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page breaks down how the 20 yard compares to the 10 yard dumpster rental, the 30 yard dumpster rental and the 40 yard dumpster rental. We ask about your load before delivery because a 20 yard roll-off dumpster rental filled with concrete or shingles hits its weight cap fast, even though the box still looks half empty. Curious what actually can't go in the can. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before you start tossing. For general contractor cleanups, this size pairs well with construction dumpster rental service and with temporary fence rental if the site needs to stay closed off overnight.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Short rentals and month-long rentals price differently because of how often the truck has to come back. A day rate covers a fast in-and-out job, a weekly rate suits a bathroom gut or small addition, and the monthly rate serves longer remodels where the dumpster just sits and fills gradually. Delivery is billed separately and typically falls between $100 and $500 for a day-of drop, or $120 to $420 if it is bundled into a month-long job. For the full cost breakdown across sizes, see dumpster rental cost or the general roll-off dumpster rental overview. If your project runs longer than expected, ask about extending before the truck shows up for pickup rather than after.
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or curb strip rather than your driveway, needs confirming with the City of Gardena before delivery. We do not guess at this. If the dumpster sits entirely on private property, driveway or yard, permitting usually is not a concern, but street placement is a different question with its own local requirement. Our dumpster permit requirements page walks through what to ask the city and what information to have ready when you call. Weight limits matter here too. Overloading a 20 yard box past its rated capacity can trigger overage fees, so review dumpster weight limits if you are hauling anything dense like tile, dirt or roofing debris.
Gardena sits close to several communities we also serve. Alondra Park is about 2.0 miles west, West Athens roughly 2.4 miles north, and Lawndale about 3.1 miles west, so if your job site spans city lines, our service areas page and the porta potty rental Gardena hub cover both dumpsters and restroom needs across that footprint. Job sites juggling a dumpster often need a portable toilet too. Pair this rental with a standard porta potty rental or check how many porta potties do I need for crew-size guidance under OSHA 1926.51(c). Sites applying paint, coatings or adhesives also fall under the washing rule in OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), which is worth reviewing alongside our handwashing station rental options.
Most Gardena customers rent by the week or month, matching the pace of the actual project rather than guessing. A weekly rental suits a single-room remodel; a monthly rental fits a longer renovation. Talk to us about swap-outs if the box fills before the job wraps.
Certain items are barred from any roll-off, including hazardous materials, tires and some appliances depending on local rules. See what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list before loading, since violations can mean added fees or a refused pickup.
Most residential driveways in Gardena handle it fine, but the delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point. Narrow alleys or tight side yards may need the smaller 10 yard dumpster rental instead. Tell us your driveway layout when booking.
Usually not, since driveway placement stays on private property. Street or curb placement is different and needs confirming with the city first. See porta potty permit requirements for how we handle similar right-of-way questions on other equipment.
The 20 yard suits mid-size cleanouts and single-room remodels, while the 30 yard dumpster rental handles whole-house projects or larger construction debris. Weight limits and footprint both scale up with size, so match the box to your actual debris volume, not just square footage.
