20 Yard Dumpster Rental in Peoria
The 20-yard dumpster is the most popular container we rent, and for good reason: at 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4 feet high it holds about six pickup-truck loads with a 3-ton weight allowance, enough for a whole-house cleanout, a large remodel, a full roof replacement or a busy contractor’s week, while its 4-foot walls keep it easy to load by hand.
It fits most driveways lengthwise. If yours is short, send us a photo and we will confirm before delivery.

20 Yard dumpster FAQ
- Why is the 20 yard the most popular size?
- Can a 20 yard dumpster take a whole roof?Usually. Shingles are heavy, so we size roofs by weight: a typical single-layer residential roof fits within the 3-ton allowance, and larger or double-layer roofs may need a second container or an overage. Give us the square footage.
- Does it fit on a city driveway?It needs about 22 feet of length plus room for the truck to back in. Most Peoria and Tri-County driveways work; the short drives of West Peoria, the Heights and the older Pekin and Creve Coeur blocks usually mean a smaller box; for a very short one we suggest a 15-yard.
