20 Yard Dumpster Rental in Cottonwood Heights, UT
The 20 yard is the size most people ask for by name, and about half the time it is right. It handles a kitchen and bathroom together, a multi-layer roof, or a substantial clearance, and it still fits a standard residential driveway.

- Multi-layer asphalt roof tear-offs
- Large garage and basement clearances
- Whole-house flooring removal
- Newer subdivision remodels in Sandy and Draper
- Deck demolition combined with yard clearance
Not the right choice for: Concrete, stone or soil. Those need a 10 yard clean-fill container regardless of quantity, because dense material hits legal transport weight fast.
Why it is the default choice
It sits at the point where volume and weight allowance balance for ordinary mixed renovation debris. On newer valley-floor housing and the Sandy and Draper subdivisions, where the material is bulky rather than dense, the 20 yard fills properly before it gets heavy.
The roofing caveat
On an asphalt tear-off a 20 yard almost always reaches its tonnage before its volume. That is expected. Give us the square footage and the number of layers and we will say whether one container covers it or whether you need a swap.
Driveway footprint on the bench
At twenty-two feet it will occupy most of a standard two-car driveway lengthways, and on a steep bench lot the placement needs planning. Tell us if you need to keep a vehicle accessible and we will position accordingly, or suggest the 15 yard instead.

(801) 346-611120 Yard Dumpster: common questions
Is a 20 yard big enough for a whole-house clearance?
For a small house or a partial clearance, yes. For a fully furnished family home a 30 yard is the better answer, since household contents are bulky and you run out of space rather than weight.
Can I put concrete in a 20 yard?
No. Even a modest amount pushes it past legal transport weight. Concrete needs a dedicated 10 yard, kept clean so it routes as clean fill rather than the higher mixed rate.
Will it fit on a bench driveway?
Usually, though it takes up most of a two-car driveway lengthways and needs planning on a grade. We need about 60 feet of straight approach plus roughly 23 feet of overhead clearance when the container is raised.
