A 20 yard trash dumpster measures about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall, holding roughly 8 pickup truck loads of debris. Those dumpster dimensions for the 20 yard size make it the most-booked box among dumpster sizes for a 20 yard job, fitting most kitchen remodels, roof tear-offs, and garage cleanouts around Saint Paul. Saint Paul Porta Pros delivers and picks up on the schedule you need.
A 20 yard roll-off dumpster rental is the middle child of the dumpster sizes and dimensions lineup, bigger than a 10 yard but easier to place than a 30. These 20 yard dumpster measurements put it at roughly two parking spaces end to end, and the 20 yard dumpster size works for most single-project cleanouts. It handles a bathroom gut job, a deck removal, or several rooms of flooring in one haul. Saint Paul Porta Pros crews ask about your surface before drop-off; driveways, alleys, and gravel pads all load differently, and access shapes where the truck can set the can. Before delivery day, check dumpster permit requirements if the container needs to sit on a street or boulevard rather than private property. If you are still comparing box sizes, the 10 yard dumpster rental page and the 30 yard dumpster rental page both break down what fits in each. For a full-scale teardown, the 40 yard dumpster rental is the next step up.
Pricing depends on rental length and what you're clearing out. A short one-day pull for a weekend cleanup runs cheaper than a week-long remodel job, and monthly rates apply if you're managing an ongoing renovation. Full pricing logic, including delivery fees, lives on the dumpster rental cost page.
| duration | typical range |
|---|---|
| day | $51 to $112 |
| week | $426 to $778 |
| month | $91 to $500 |
Delivery is usually billed on top, and the roll-off dumpster rental page covers how that fee is structured city-wide. A roll-off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the container down safely, so measure your driveway or alley before booking.
Most residential jobs in Saint Paul place the container in a driveway, which avoids street permitting entirely. If your lot doesn't allow that, or the job is downtown near tighter lots, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. Neighbors in West St. Paul, 4.3 miles south, and Maplewood, 8.8 miles northeast, run into the same question on tight urban lots. Keep the drop zone level and clear of low branches or wires. Once the box is full, don't overload it past the fill line; dumpster weight limits explains why overage fees show up on some invoices. Certain items never belong in the can at all, covered on the what cannot go in a dumpster page. For active job sites with dumpsters, fencing, and toilets all running at once, see construction site services and construction dumpster rental for how they're typically bundled.
Most rentals run by the day, week, or month, and the meter starts at delivery. A weekend cleanup usually fits the day rate; a full remodel often makes more sense at the weekly or monthly tier. Saint Paul Porta Pros can extend a rental mid-job if the work runs long.
Only if the container sits in the street, alley right of way, or boulevard instead of your driveway. Saint Paul permit rules vary by placement, so check with the city before delivery. Full detail is on the dumpster permit requirements page.
Paints, solvents, tires, batteries, and certain electronics are typically excluded, along with anything flagged as hazardous waste. Construction debris, furniture, and yard waste are usually fine. The what cannot go in a dumpster page lists specifics before you load anything questionable.
The truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point to lower the container safely. Overhead wires, low tree limbs, and parked cars along that path can delay or cancel a delivery, so clear the lane before the truck arrives.
Yes, plenty of renovation and construction jobs order both together. Saint Paul Porta Pros delivers dumpsters alongside standard porta potty rental units or full portable restroom rental setups on the same trip, which saves a delivery fee on larger jobs.
