How big is a 20 yard dumpster?
Picture a box about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4.5 feet tall. That's the standard footprint for this size, though exact dumpster dimensions on a 20 yard unit can shift a few inches between manufacturers. Lehi Porta Pros checks each container against the delivery address before it leaves the yard, because tight driveways in older Lehi neighborhoods need an accurate measurement, not a guess. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set the container down safely, so a short cul-de-sac or a packed street can change where it lands. If you're comparing dumpster sizes for a bigger tear-out, look at the 30 yard dumpster rental or 40 yard dumpster rental pages before you commit. Smaller cleanouts usually fit a 10 yard dumpster rental instead. Full measurements for every box we run sit on the dumpster sizes and dimensions page, and general roll-off dumpster rental info covers delivery logistics for Lehi driveways and job sites alike.
What does a 20 yard dumpster cost in Lehi?
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Day rates cover a quick load-and-haul, week rates fit a full remodel timeline, and month rates suit a slow-moving construction job. A separate delivery fee applies on top of the rental period, and that runs from about 100 to 500 dollars a day depending on distance and truck access. Homeowners in American Fork, 5.9 miles southeast of Lehi, and Saratoga Springs, 8.1 miles southwest, pay the same base rates since Lehi Porta Pros dispatches from one yard. For a full cost breakdown including weight overage and what drives the price up or down, see dumpster rental cost. Construction crews juggling multiple containers on one site should look at construction dumpster rental for volume scheduling.
Do I need a permit for a 20 yard dumpster in Lehi?
Permit rules depend on where the container sits. If it stays entirely on private property, most Lehi jobs don't need one. If it has to sit in the street or blocks a sidewalk, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. Lehi Porta Pros can flag this during scheduling, but don't assume based on a neighbor's setup. Check the dumpster permit requirements page for what to ask the city, and review what cannot go in a dumpster before you start loading, since paint, tires and certain electronics get rejected at the transfer station. Overloading past the rated weight also triggers a fee, covered on dumpster weight limits. Job sites running toilets alongside the dumpster should check OSHA portable toilet requirements, since OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets toilet counts by crew size, separate from any dumpster rule.
How long can I keep a 20 yard dumpster?
Rental periods run day, week or month, and Lehi Porta Pros bills by whichever term fits the job. A weekend rate also exists for short cleanouts that start Friday and wrap Sunday. Ask about swap-outs if the job runs long. See dumpster rental cost for term comparisons.
What can't go in a 20 yard dumpster?
Paint, batteries, tires, refrigerants and most electronics are excluded at the disposal facility, and mixing them in risks an added fee. Full detail is on what cannot go in a dumpster. Ask Lehi Porta Pros before loading anything questionable.
How much weight can a 20 yard dumpster hold?
Weight limits vary by material. Roofing shingles and concrete fill the weight limit fast even in a partly-empty box. Check dumpster weight limits for tonnage caps before loading dense debris.
Is a 20 yard big enough for a kitchen remodel?
Usually yes. Cabinets, countertops and flooring debris from a standard kitchen fit within 20 cubic yards. Larger remodels touching structural walls may need the 30 yard dumpster rental instead.
Does Lehi Porta Pros deliver outside Lehi?
Yes. Crews in Draper, 8.4 miles north, and Riverton, 13.0 miles northwest, get the same dumpster sizes and rate bands. See service areas for full coverage.
