Two things determine your size — volume and weight. Most people only think about one.
Dumpster sizes are measured in cubic yards — that’s volume, how much space you have. But every container also has a weight limit. Pick based on volume alone and you can hit the weight ceiling before the container looks full. Here’s how to get both right.
Every size we offer, with dimensions, weight limits, and what each handles best.
All prices are all-in — delivery, 7-day rental, pickup, and disposal included. No fuel surcharge, no rural fee, no broker markup. What you hear on the call is what appears on your invoice.

Match your project to the right container before you call.
The most common sizing mistake in Owensboro is choosing based on how big the dumpster looks rather than what the project actually produces. Here’s a project-by-project guide based on what we see every week in Daviess County.

Concrete, shingles, soil, and brick follow different rules. Here’s what you need to know.
Heavy debris fills the weight limit before the volume limit — meaning the dumpster looks half-empty but you’ve hit the maximum safe load. This is the most common overage situation we see in Daviess County.
Extremely heavy. A 10-yard container filled with pure concrete weighs about 12 tons — well over the 2.5-ton limit. For concrete, fill the container no more than 1/3 full. We recommend a smaller container loaded lightly or multiple pickups.
~350 lbs per square (100 sqft of roof). A 20-yard handles up to ~3 tons — safe for a 1,500–2,000 sqft single-layer roof. Two layers double the weight. Always tell us your square footage and number of layers before we deliver.
Similar to concrete — heavy by volume. For pure soil loads, fill the container 1/3 to 1/2 max. Mix with lighter material where possible. Call us first and we’ll spec the right approach for soil-heavy jobs.
The safest approach for mixed loads is to layer — heavy material at the bottom, lighter debris on top. This distributes weight and maximizes volume. Tell us your mix and we’ll confirm the right size before delivery.
If more than 25% of your load is concrete, brick, soil, or shingles — call us before booking. We’ll spec it correctly so you never pay an overage fee or need a second container mid-job.
Heavy C&D material goes to West Daviess County C&D Landfill on KY-815. Household debris goes to Grimes Avenue Transfer Station in Owensboro. Both are fully licensed — your disposal is compliant, documented, and done.
Container length, driveway space, and overhead clearance — what to know before delivery day.
| Size | Length | Driveway Needed | Truck Clearance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 14 ft | Single-car driveway | ~40 ft straight approach |
| 15 Yard | 16 ft | Single-car driveway | ~40 ft straight approach |
| 20 Yard | 22 ft | 2-car driveway | ~50 ft + overhead clearance |
| 30 Yard | 22 ft | Long driveway or job site | ~50 ft + overhead clearance |
| 40 Yard | 22 ft | Commercial lot or job site | 60 ft + overhead clearance |
We use protective boards under all containers on asphalt and paver driveways. Mention your surface type when you call — concrete driveways in good condition are rarely affected.
Our hook-lift truck needs ~14 feet of vertical clearance during drop-off. Low-hanging power lines, tree branches, or covered parking can prevent delivery. Describe your property when you call.
Under Owensboro Ordinance 29-99, a permit is required only if the container occupies any part of a public street or right-of-way. On private property — driveway, yard, job site — no permit needed.
