A 20 yard trash dumpster holds about 20 cubic yards of debris, roughly 4 to 6 pickup truck loads, and it runs 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4.5 feet tall on the ground. In Germantown, this 20 yard dumpster size is what most homeowners land on for a roof tear-off or a garage cleanout. Daily rental sits between $51 and $112.
A 20 yard roll-off dumpster rental measures roughly 22 feet by 8 feet by 4.5 feet, and those 20 yard dumpster measurements can vary a bit by manufacturer, so treat this as a close estimate rather than a guarantee for every unit you see on a lot. That footprint fits most driveways in Germantown without eating the whole yard, but the truck dropping it off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the container down level. If your driveway curves or backs up to a fence, measure that stretch before you book. Among dumpster sizes 20 yard sits in the middle of the lineup: smaller than the 30 yard dumpster rental crews bring for additions, bigger than the 10 yard dumpster rental suited to a single room gut. If you're not sure which one fits your pile, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page walks through all four side by side, and our roll-off dumpster rental page covers delivery basics for the whole lineup.
Renting one is priced by the day, week or month, and the difference matters if your project runs long. A short weekend cleanout costs less than a week-long remodel, and a month-long job costs more than either, so match the term to your actual timeline instead of guessing.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| Week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| Month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Delivery is usually billed separately, and that fee runs $100 to $500 depending on distance and scheduling.

If your job might stretch past a few weeks, monthly porta potty rental pricing works on the same logic worth knowing before you commit to a shorter term.
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or curb strip rather than your own driveway, needs confirming with the City of Germantown before drop-off. Rules on that differ by jurisdiction and change over time, so we can't quote you a fee or an ordinance number here. Our dumpster permit requirements page explains how to check before the truck shows up, and it's worth five minutes even if you're fairly sure your driveway is long enough to keep the container off the street entirely. Homeowners doing a renovation often pair a roll-off with home renovation porta potty service so the crew has both covered from day one. If you're not sure the 20 yard size is right, how many porta potties do I need has a companion logic for waste volume worth applying to debris too.
Know before you load: what cannot go in a dumpster and dumpster weight limits cover the two most common overage fees. Contractors juggling multiple sites should look at construction dumpster rental and pair it with construction site services for toilets, fencing and power in one call. For a 30 or 40 yard comparison, see 30 yard dumpster rental or 40 yard dumpster rental.
About 20 cubic yards, or 4 to 6 pickup truck loads. That's enough for a roof tear-off up to about 3,000 square feet, a full garage cleanout, or flooring and drywall from a mid-size remodel in a typical Germantown home.
Most rentals run by the day, week or month, priced separately, so pick the term that matches your job. A weekend cleanout and a month-long renovation cost very differently, and the dumpster rental cost page breaks down which term saves money at what volume.
Most residential driveways in Germantown handle it fine, since the container itself is about 22 by 8 feet. The bigger constraint is the 60 feet of straight clearance the delivery truck needs behind the drop point, so check your street access first.
You can, but placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Germantown first. Check dumpster permit requirements before delivery day so the truck isn't turned away.
It depends on job length, not a flat rule. A week-long rental costs less total than a month, but per-day cost usually drops the longer you keep it. Compare your actual timeline against the dumpster rental cost table before booking.
