20-Yard Dumpster Rental

The 20-yard is the size most Seattle homeowners actually need but rarely order first. If you're gutting one bathroom or clearing a single closet, a 10-yard is plenty. Once a project touches two or three rooms, a Wallingford kitchen remodel, a Capitol Hill flooring rip-out, a full Magnolia garage cleanout, the 20-yard saves you the hassle and cost of swapping out a smaller bin mid-job. It carries the volume of a mid-size renovation while staying low enough (about 4.5 feet at the wall) to toss debris over the side by hand instead of hauling everything up to a taller container.

Seattle logistics decide more than the size does. Steep grades on Queen Anne and West Seattle mean the delivery driver needs a flat, firm spot to set the bin so it doesn't shift, a level driveway apron or a wide pad works best. Narrow older streets in Fremont and parts of Ballard leave little room for a roll-off truck to maneuver, so we ask about parking, overhead wires, and gate widths before we roll out. If the only place for the container is the street, King County and the City of Seattle require a right-of-way permit; we'll tell you that upfront and point you to the process rather than let you get a citation.

On weight: the 20-yard is roomy, but heavy material fills the weight allowance long before it fills the box. Roofing shingles, concrete, dirt, and tile are dense, a bin can hit its tonnage cap while looking half empty. For clean concrete or dirt from a Rainier Valley or Green Lake job, ask us whether a smaller bin or a separate load makes more sense; we'd rather right-size it than surprise you. Mixed renovation debris and household junk, which is what most 20-yard rentals hold, rarely runs into weight limits.

Our price is flat and stated before the truck leaves the yard. The number you hear covers delivery, the rental window, pickup, and disposal at the transfer station. If your load runs over the included tonnage, that's the one variable, and we quote the per-ton overage rate the same day so there's no mystery charge on the back end. Right-sized bins, honest flat-rate pricing, and no games about what fits in a Seattle driveway.
