A 20 yard roll-off dumpster holds about 20 cubic yards of debris, roughly 8 pickup truck loads, and works for roof tear-offs, garage cleanouts, and mid-size remodels. South Fulton Porta Pros delivers them across South Fulton with a truck that needs about 60 feet of straight clearance to set the box down.
Dumpster sizes for the 20 yard box run roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and just under 4.5 feet tall, though dumpster measurements can shift a little between manufacturers. That footprint is the sweet spot between a 10 yard dumpster, which fills fast on a bathroom gut, and a 30 yard dumpster, which needs more driveway room than most South Fulton lots have to spare. If you are staring at a pile of shingles or drywall and not sure which box fits, the full dumpster sizes and dimensions breakdown compares all four sizes side by side, and our dumpster rental cost page shows how size affects price. Before the truck rolls, check dumpster weight limits and what cannot go in a dumpster, since shingles and concrete get heavy fast and overloaded boxes get flagged at the scale.
| duration | low | typical | high |

| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Day rates are for short pulls, like a one-afternoon garage clear-out. Weekly pricing fits most home renovation and construction jobs since it covers the full haul-load-haul cycle without rushing. A separate delivery fee applies on top of the box rental itself, and that fee scales with distance, so a drop closer to central South Fulton runs less than one out toward Fayetteville, which sits about 19.1 miles southeast. For full project math, see dumpster rental cost and construction dumpster rental if the job runs multiple weeks with a general contractor pulling permits.
Placement on your own driveway or yard usually needs no city sign-off, but putting a roll-off in the street or right-of-way is a different question, and that needs confirming with the City of South Fulton before delivery. We do not guess at ordinance numbers here, since rules and fees vary by jurisdiction and change without much notice. Check dumpster permit requirements for what to ask the city, and if your job also involves fencing off a work zone, look at temporary fence rental or chain link temporary fence for pricing on securing the site while the dumpster sits out.
Most rentals run about a week, matching the weekly rate in the table above, and that covers most home renovation timelines. Need it longer? Monthly pricing kicks in and often saves money over renewing weekly. Ask about swap-outs if the job runs past a month, since a mid-project dump-and-return keeps things moving on active construction site services.
Tires, batteries, paint, chemicals, and most electronics are off-limits in a standard roll-off, and mixing them in risks extra fees. Full details live on what cannot go in a dumpster. If your job involves paint or coatings, remember OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) covers washing facilities for workers handling those materials.
Weight limits depend on material type. Shingles and concrete hit the ceiling fast even in a half-full box. See dumpster weight limits for the specifics before you load anything dense.
Driveways are simplest and skip the permit question entirely. Street placement needs city confirmation first. A flat 60 feet of clearance behind where the truck parks makes delivery and pickup go smoothly either way.
Yes. Renovation and construction jobs often need a portable toilet rental and a handwashing station rental alongside the dumpster. Ask South Fulton Porta Pros about bundling delivery for the whole construction site services package in one trip.
