About the 20 Yard
The a 20-yard container measures about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet of side height and holds larger remodels, flooring tear-outs, and mixed construction debris. It suits a full flooring and subfloor tear-out or a mid-size home addition generating mixed lumber and drywall waste.
the extra 6 feet of length over a 15-yard comes almost entirely from a longer footprint, not more height, so it still fits most standard driveways.
