The 20-yard is our most popular size, and by a wide margin — it's the container most Manchester customers end up ordering because it sits right at the sweet spot between capacity and footprint. At 22' × 7.5' × 4.5', it's noticeably larger than the 15-yard while still fitting on a standard residential driveway.
It holds an estimated 110–130 trash bags, or about 6 pickup-truck loads, with a 3–4 ton weight allowance included. That's enough to cover a whole-house cleanout, a larger remodel, most roofing tear-offs, or a substantial landscaping project without needing to step up to a bigger box.
Like every size besides the 10-yard, we quote the 20-yard on the call based on your project and location — flat rate, with delivery, the rental period, tonnage allowance, and pickup all included.

Why the 20-Yard Is Our Most Popular Size
Most projects don't neatly fit into "small" or "very large" — they land somewhere in the middle, and that's exactly where the 20-yard works best. It has enough capacity to handle a genuinely large job without the extra length and clearance requirements of our 30 and 40-yard containers, which is why it ends up being the right call for the majority of the jobs we quote across Manchester.
Dimensions & Capacity Explained
At 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall, the 20-yard holds roughly 110 to 130 trash bags' worth of material — about 6 pickup-truck loads — with a 3–4 ton weight allowance. That combination of size and tonnage covers most whole-property projects without requiring careful weight management the way a smaller container might.
What Fits in a 20-Yard Dumpster
This size is our standard recommendation for a whole-house cleanout, a larger remodel spanning multiple rooms, a roofing tear-off up to about 50 squares, or a landscaping project generating significant debris. It also comfortably handles a combined garage, basement, and attic cleanout, or a moving-out cleanout ahead of listing a property.
Cost Factors for a 20-Yard Rental
We quote the 20-yard on the call based on your project scope, material type, and location — always flat rate, with delivery, the rental period, tonnage allowance, and pickup included and no fuel or environmental surcharge tacked on afterward. Call (603) 634-9248 with a description of your project for an accurate number.
Delivery & Placement Notes
Standard site requirements apply: about 60 feet of clear space for the delivery truck to back in, roughly 25 feet of overhead clearance, and a flat, hard surface to set the container on. Most standard residential driveways handle the 20-yard's footprint without issue, but if your driveway is on the narrower side, mention it when you book.

Londonderry and Auburn, both with a mix of larger residential lots and active remodeling, are two of the towns where this size gets ordered most.

20 Yard dumpster questions
Why is the 20-yard the most popular size?
It covers the widest range of project types — whole-house cleanouts, larger remodels, most roofing jobs, and landscaping — without the extra length and clearance requirements of a 30 or 40-yard, which makes it the right fit for most of the jobs we quote.
Will a whole-house cleanout fit in a 20-yard?
For most single-family homes, yes. Larger homes or cleanouts that include a full garage and shed sometimes call for a 30-yard instead — describe the property when you call and we'll size it accordingly.
How much roofing can a 20-yard handle?
Roughly up to 50 squares, depending on layers and pitch. If your roof is larger than that, ask us to confirm sizing based on the actual square footage.
How does the 20-yard compare to the 30-yard?
The 20-yard is 4.5 feet tall with a 3–4 ton allowance; the 30-yard is a full 6 feet tall with a 4–5 ton allowance. The 30-yard is the better fit for whole-house projects with heavier debris, commercial cleanouts, or new-build construction.
What's the rental period?
Standard rental is 3–7 days, same as our other sizes.
What do I need to prep before delivery?
About 60 feet of clear space, 25 feet of overhead clearance, and a flat, hard surface like a driveway.
