The 20 yard container in Holland
When someone is not sure what size they need, the 20 yard is often the answer. It is one of our most popular sizes and balances volume, footprint and value for residential and light commercial jobs. Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, kitchen and bath remodels, roofing, large landscaping and light demolition all fit it. It holds about 20 cubic yards, roughly six pickup truck loads or 110 to 130 standard trash bags.
It is about 22 feet long and 7.5 feet wide, and that is the thing to check, since it is most of a two-car driveway. Many driveways and job sites take it, and it loads easily over the 4.5-foot sides. For a project that makes debris over several days it is the dependable all-round container.
Space needed
a flat, solid spot about 22 feet long and 8 feet wide (a driveway, pad or lot, not the lawn), about 60 feet of clear approach for the roll-off truck, and about 25 feet of clearance overhead, free of wires and branches
Renovations, roofs and whole-home cleanouts
Furniture, bags and mixed junk from a whole house. Drywall, lumber, cabinets and flooring from a multi-room remodel. Shingles and underlayment off a roof. Branches, shrubs and green waste from a big landscaping job. Framing, doors and windows from light demolition. These are 20 yard jobs. Roofing is where the 10 and the 20 earn their keep, since they are the sizes most often booked for shingles and tar paper, with the weight checked first.
Holland and the towns around it each have their own rules on where a container may sit and who may haul. The 20 is the size most likely to bring those questions up, so we check the rules before booking, not on delivery day.
What the 20 yard includes
A flat rate can include delivery, pickup, disposal up to the included weight (typically 3 to 4 tons, depending on the debris) and a standard rental period of 7 days, with no hidden fuel or surprise fees. Need it longer? We can often extend it for a daily or weekly fee. Tile, plaster, shingles and wet green waste add up quickly, so plan by weight as well as volume, load evenly, and keep everything below the top edge. For concrete, soil or brick, ask about a 10 yard or a split load. Protective boards can go under the rails on request.
Suitability
Is the 20 yard the right size for you?
Rough working figures. Weight, not volume, is what usually decides.
Choose the 20 yard for
- Whole-home cleanouts
- Kitchen, bath and multi-room renovations
- Roofing, with the weight checked first
- Large landscaping and storm cleanup
- Light demolition: framing, doors and windows
Pick a different size for
- Mostly concrete, dirt, brick or tile (a 10 handles the weight better)
- Major demolition and commercial volume, which go in a 30 or 40
- Driveways without about 22 feet of clear length plus the truck approach
- Asbestos, paint, solvents, fuel, tires, batteries or medical waste
Placing a 20 yard container in Holland
It needs a flat, solid spot about 22 feet long and 8 feet wide (a driveway, pad or lot, not the lawn), about 60 feet of clear approach for the roll-off truck, and about 25 feet of clearance overhead, free of wires and branches. The driveway comes first. In the City of Holland a refuse collector licence applies, and the City Council approves applicants; we check the City's rules before booking. We found no rule on dumpster placement in the City code we could read, so for any spot in a street we check the City's rules and the placement with you before booking. MDOT requires a permit from anyone who wants to use state highway right-of-way for anything other than normal vehicle or pedestrian travel, so we keep containers out of the right-of-way of I-196, US-31, M-21, M-40, M-45 or any other state route. Check any neighborhood association rules too. Protective boards can go under the rails on request. Each town page covers its own rules.

Answers
20 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
Not covered here? Call (616) 344-9760 and ask.
How many pickup loads is a 20 yard dumpster?
Roughly six, or 110 to 130 bags. Think of a whole house of furniture and junk, or the debris from a multi-room renovation.
Can a 20 yard fit in a Holland driveway?
In many cases. It is about 22 feet long and 7.5 feet wide, and the truck needs about 60 feet of clear approach and about 25 feet of clearance overhead. Put it on the driveway or a pad rather than the lawn. A street spot needs the City's rules checked first.
What is the typical weight limit on a 20 yard?
Usually 3 to 4 tons, depending on the material. Shingles, tile, concrete, dirt and wet yard waste are the loads that test it. Household junk and remodel debris usually do not. We can estimate tonnage from your project materials.
Can I get a 20 yard the same day?
Often, depending on the schedule and the location. Same-day or next-day delivery is available when availability allows, so call early in the day for the best chance. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but we do not promise night or Sunday drop-offs.
