What size dumpster do you need in Lexington?

Roofing Projects

A typical Lexington roof tear-off generates 3–5 tons of shingles and underlayment. A 20–30 yard dumpster handles most single-layer residential roofs, but go with a 30 if you have a multi-layer strip or architectural shingles. Ask your hauler about weight limits — asphalt shingles are heavy and overweight fees in Kentuckycan add $75–$150 per extra ton.

Kitchen Remodels

Kitchen gut-outs produce cabinets, countertops, flooring, and drywall — bulky but relatively light. A 10–15 yard dumpster is usually enough for a standard kitchen demo in Lexington. If you're removing tile flooring or concrete countertops, size up to a 20 yard to stay under the weight cap.

Estate Cleanouts

Clearing an entire home in Lexingtontypically requires a 20–30 yard dumpster. Furniture, mattresses, clothing, and household items fill space fast. Plan for 2–3 loads if the property has a garage, attic, and basement. Schedule a 7–14 day rental so you can sort donations from trash without rushing.

Garage Cleanouts

New builds, additions, and major renovations in Lexington generate heavy mixed debris — concrete, lumber, drywall, and metal. A 30–40 yard dumpster is standard for active job sites. Most contractors in Kentucky keep a roll-off on site for the full project duration and swap it out when full.
