Is a 20 yard the right size for your project?
The 20 yard dumpster is the most popular size for good reason — it handles the majority of home renovation and cleanout projects at a reasonable price point. It's the go-to choice for kitchen remodels, roof tear-offs (single layer on homes up to 1,500 sq ft), and multi-room cleanouts. At 4.5 feet tall, it's still low enough that most people can toss debris over the side without a ladder. If you're on the fence between a 15 and 20, go with the 20 — the cost difference is minimal, and running out of space means paying for a second haul.
Pro tip for Salem rentals: If you're unsure about sizing, call a few local haulers and describe your project. Most Salemdumpster companies will recommend the right size based on years of experience with local projects — and it's in their interest to get it right, since swapping out a dumpster mid-project costs everyone time and money.

20 Yard dumpster rental FAQ — Salem, Oregon
Why is a 20 yard dumpster the most popular size in Salem?
The 20 yard dumpster is the most commonly rented size because it handles the widest range of projects — from roof replacements and kitchen remodels to whole-house cleanouts. It offers enough capacity for serious renovation work without the higher cost and space requirements of a 30 or 40 yard container.
Will a 20 yard dumpster fit in my driveway in Salem?
At 22 feet long and 8 feet wide, a 20 yard dumpster fits in most standard driveways. You'll need about 25 feet of length (to allow for the swing door) and 10 feet of width. Make sure there are no low-hanging wires or branches above — the delivery truck needs about 18 feet of vertical clearance.
How long can I keep a 20 yard dumpster in Salem?
Most haulers include a 7-day rental period in their base price. Extensions are typically $5-15 per additional day. If you know your project will take longer, ask about 14-day or 30-day rental rates upfront — many haulers offer discounted extended rental periods.
