20-Yard vs. 30-Yard — How Do I Choose for a Phoenix Project?
For most Phoenix jobs, your choice comes down to debris volume, type of project, and how fast your crew works. Here’s the rule of thumb we see across hundreds of DX jobs each year.
A 20-yard dumpster is perfect for single-room remodels, light construction, or moderate debris. It fits easily in most driveways and keeps costs tight.
A 30-yard dumpster is the better choice when your Phoenix project involves multiple rooms, bulky debris, or fast-moving crews. It prevents mid-day overflow and reduces the number of swaps.
20-Yard Is Best For:
- Bathroom remodels
- Kitchen remodels
- Smaller interior tearouts
- Roofing under 40 squares
- Driveways with limited space
30-Yard Is Best For:
- Multi-room remodels
- Whole-home updates
- Additions and framing projects
- High-volume debris and bulky material
- Crews that move fast and fill dumpsters quickly
Remember: in Arizona, heavy material always goes in a 10-yard — concrete, dirt, rock, block, or masonry. Your 20 vs. 30 decision only applies to standard construction debris.
If you’re unsure, choose the 30. The only complaint we’ve ever heard about a 30-yard is, “I’m glad we had the extra room.”
