Saint George Porta Pros delivers this size across the city and into nearby towns, and if you're not sure it's the right fit, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page walks through how it compares to the 10, 30 and 40 yard boxes. For a straight comparison of daily, weekly and monthly rates across all sizes, see dumpster rental cost.
How Big Is a 20 Yard Dumpster?
Among dumpster sizes, the 20 yard dumpster size and dumpster dimensions 20 yard shoppers ask about most: picture a box about 22 feet long and 7.5 feet wide, standing around 4.5 feet at the wall. That footprint is why we ask for close to 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point when we bring the roll-off truck in, a standard clearance figure for roll-off delivery regardless of city. In Saint George, that usually means backing down a driveway or a side street rather than trying to squeeze between a garage and a fence line. If your lot is tight, ask about the smaller 10 yard dumpster rental instead, or check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you commit. Weight matters as much as footprint here. Concrete, dirt and roofing shingles pack dense and can hit a container's weight limit long before it looks full, so read dumpster weight limits if you're loading anything heavier than household junk.
What Can I Put In a 20 Yard Dumpster?
Household junk, furniture, drywall, flooring, wood scraps and most construction debris all go in fine. Tires, paint, batteries, fluorescent bulbs and anything flammable typically don't, and the full breakdown is on what cannot go in a dumpster. If you're gutting a kitchen or clearing a yard after a storm, this size handles both without needing a second pull in most cases. Contractors running a longer job in Saint George often pair a 20 yard box with other construction site services like a portable restroom or temporary fencing, since a active job site needs more than just a dumpster sitting in the driveway.
Do I Need a Permit for a 20 Yard Dumpster in Saint George?
Placement on a driveway usually needs no permit, but putting a dumpster in the street or public right of way is a different question, and that needs confirming directly with the city before delivery. We don't guess on this. Check dumpster permit requirements for what to ask when you call, and plan the drop spot with our crew ahead of time so nobody is scrambling on delivery day. For jobs that also require a fenced perimeter around the container or the work zone, see temporary fence rental or chain link temporary fence.

Renovation crews working near Washington, about 7.8 miles northeast of Saint George, or out toward Hurricane, roughly 18.1 miles east, get the same size and same rate bands, since pricing here isn't a per-neighborhood guess. If your project runs long, 30 yard dumpster rental or 40 yard dumpster rental may cost less per cubic yard than pulling a 20 yard box twice.
How much does a 20 yard dumpster cost in Saint George?
Daily rental runs 51 to 112 dollars, and a full week runs 426 to 778 dollars, depending on debris type and how long you keep it. Monthly rates start lower per day but assume lighter loads. See dumpster rental cost for the full breakdown by size.
How long can I keep a 20 yard dumpster?
Most renters keep one for a weekend cleanout or a full week during a renovation. Longer jobs can run monthly. Tell us your timeline up front so we quote the right duration instead of defaulting to daily rates that add up fast.
What's the difference between a 20 yard and a 30 yard dumpster?
The 20 yard box is shorter and lower, built for household and mid-size cleanouts. The 30 yard dumpster rental holds more volume for whole-home renovations or new construction debris. Weight limits differ too, so check both pages before booking.
Can I put a 20 yard dumpster on the street?
Only with confirmation from the city first. Driveway placement is usually straightforward, but street or right-of-way placement is a separate question we can't answer with a blanket yes. Call ahead and we'll help you sort out where it can legally sit.
Do I need a permit for a residential cleanout dumpster?
It depends on placement, not project type. A driveway drop rarely needs one. Street placement often does. Dumpster permit requirements explains what questions to ask the city before we schedule delivery in Saint George.
