This is Red Hawk Dumpsters’ 20-yard dumpster. Our dumpsters are 16 feet long, 7½ feet wide, and 66 inches tall. This holds anywhere between seven and eight pickup
trucks’ worth of material, or 120 bags of trash. This dumpster is perfect for a modest kitchen remodel, an attic
cleanout, or generic yard waste. This dumpster also comes with a 7½-foot door. All of our large dumpsters do,
making it really easy to get any large, heavy material in just by walking in the back door.

Who Is the 20-Yard Dumpster Best For?
The 20-yard is our most popular dumpster — and for good reason. It handles the full range of mid-size residential and commercial projects without the cost of going bigger than you need.
Homeowners choose the 20-yard for full kitchen or bathroom renovations, whole-house flooring replacement, multi-room remodels, estate cleanouts, and large garage or basement purges. If your project spans more than one room or involves tearing out built-in materials, this is your size.
Contractors use it for mid-size renovation jobs, roofing tear-offs (up to 30 squares of shingles), siding replacement, and multi-trade job sites generating mixed C&D debris. The 20-yard fits in most residential driveways while giving your crew real capacity.
Property managers use the 20-yard for full-unit turnovers, multi-unit cleanouts, and renovation projects across their portfolio. One container handles what would take multiple truck loads from a junk hauler.

Weight Limits & Real Project Examples
The 20-yard includes 4,000 lbs of disposal weight — enough for most renovation and cleanout projects.
Full kitchen remodel: Cabinets, countertops, flooring, drywall, and appliances from a standard kitchen weigh 2,000–3,500 lbs. Fits well within the limit.
Roofing tear-off (20 squares): At ~250 lbs per square, a 20-square single-layer tear-off generates about 5,000 lbs — right at the limit. Double-layer roofs or larger homes should consider the 30-yard.
Whole-house cleanout: Furniture, clothing, household items, and miscellaneous debris from a 3-bedroom home typically weighs 2,500–4,000 lbs. The 20-yard handles it with room to spare.
Large deck removal: A 16×20 wood deck generates about 3,000–4,500 lbs of lumber. Fits in the 20-yard, but call us if the deck is pressure-treated or composite — those are heavier.
Overage beyond 4,000 lbs is billed at $0.04/lb. Same-day delivery available — book online or call (919) 823-4295.

From the initial phone call to make the arrangements to the final dumpster being hauled away I could not have been more satisfied. Drivers were on time and professional. Even though the prices went up after the first two dumpsters.. thanks 47.. they were honest and fair with their explanation. Not their fault. I would use them again and recommend their services if asked. I just hope I don’t have to unload 10- thousand pounds of junk from a home again. They helped make an extremely difficult and emotional experience doable. Thank you+1Posted on Google![]()
