The Perfect

"Sweet Spot" for

Larger Remodels

Our Most Popular Size for Major Home Renovations, Roofing, and Big Cleanouts.

The 20-yard dumpster is the ultimate multi-tasker. It holds 20 cubic yards of debris, which equals roughly 110 to 130 standard 33-gallon trash bags or about six standard pickup truck loads. It’s the perfect size for projects that require a lot of volume but don't quite need commercial-level heavy equipment.

The 20-yard is the industry-standard size for roofing tear-offs across Central New Jersey — it's what our contractor and commercial clients rely on for shingle removal, underlayment disposal, and exterior remodeling debris. For residential use, it handles whole-house estate cleanouts, full kitchen demolitions, and large deck removals without breaking a sweat.

What Fits in a 20-Yard Dumpster?

New Paragraph

Perfect For These Franklin Township Projects:

• Major Kitchen & Bath Renovations: Plenty of room for gutted drywall, large custom cabinets, heavy countertops, and old appliances.
• Roofing Tear-Offs: The industry standard for roofing jobs. It easily holds the shingles, nails, and underlayment from a standard-sized Franklin Township home.
• Whole-House & Estate Cleanouts: Moving out or downsizing? This bin swallows massive amounts of bulky furniture, broken garage tools, mattresses, and years of attic clutter.
• Large Deck & Fence Removals: Easily accommodates the long, splintered wood planks and hardware from tearing down a backyard deck or a hurricane-damaged privacy fence.
• Heavy Debris & Dirt: Excellent for concrete, brick, or dirt removal. (Note: Because of local New Jersey road safety limits, heavy materials like concrete can only fill the bin halfway. Ask our experts for guidance!)

Franklin Township Regulations & Disposal Rules

We aren't a faceless national broker; we are your local Franklin Township neighbors. Renting a dumpster in Central New Jersey requires strict adherence to state and local environmental and landfill regulations.

What You Need to Know:

What You CAN Toss: Construction debris, yard waste (branches, leaves), furniture, boxes, and household junk are all perfectly fine.

What You CANNOT Toss: New Jersey law protects groundwater and local ecosystems. Absolutely no liquid waste is allowed. This includes wet paint, stains, varnishes, solvents, motor oils, and adhesive liquids. Appliances containing Freon are also strictly prohibited.

Concrete & Heavy Loads: Clean concrete, brick, and pavers are accepted, but because they get heavy fast, they typically require a dedicated concrete load to stay within weight limits. Let us know if you have heavy materials!

Permit Requirements: If placed on your private driveway, a permit is usually not required. However, if the dumpster must be placed on a public street or block a right-of-way, you may need a permit from the Township of Franklin.
