When to pick a different box

  • swap_horizConcrete, dirt, brick, or asphalt — the 2-ton allowance disappears after a few wheelbarrows of concrete; use the 10 Yard Heavy box (flat rate, no weight limit) instead
  • swap_horizWhole-home gut renovations or new construction — the volume runs out; that's 30 yard territory
  • swap_horizA single-room cleanout — you'd be paying for air; a 10 yard does the job for less

lightbulbTips before you book the 20 yard

  • arrow_forwardThis is the 'when in doubt' size: it covers the widest range of projects, which is exactly why it's the most-booked box on the platform.
  • arrow_forwardWatch the 2-ton allowance on demo debris — tile, plaster, and roofing are deceptively heavy even when the box looks half empty.
  • arrow_forwardThe 4.5 ft walls are still walk-up loadable; save your back by loading heavy items first, flat on the floor of the box.
  • arrow_forwardAt 22 ft long, measure your driveway — the box plus the truck's straight-line approach (~60 ft) is what decides the drop spot.

Dumpster rules & permits in Lafayette

Heads up: Lafayette has some of the strictest street rules in Contra Costa County. The essentials:

gavelOn your own Lafayette property: no permit

Driveway or private jobsite placement needs nothing from the city — and given Lafayette's street rules below, it's the way to go when possible.

gavelOn the street: permit + deposit + 5-day max

Lafayette requires a Right-of-Way (Encroachment) Permit for any dumpster or POD on the street, capped at 5 days, with a refundable street-damage deposit on top of the permit fee (lovelafayette.org). Plan your project window accordingly.

gavelThe right-of-way is wider than you think

On most Lafayette residential streets the public right-of-way extends roughly 20–25 feet from the road's centerline — even the shoulder in front of your house may legally be street. When in doubt, keep the box on the driveway.

gavelHillside streets need a plan

Roll-off trucks want ~60 feet of straight approach and 23 feet of overhead clearance — a real consideration on the narrow, oak-covered lanes of Happy Valley and Reliez Valley.

gavelLafayette remodels: 65% debris recycling

California's CALGreen code requires permitted Lafayette projects to divert at least 65% of construction debris. Our providers haul to certified facilities, keeping your paperwork clean.

Rules and fees are set by the City of Lafayette and can change — always confirm current requirements with the city before placing a container in the public right-of-way.

FAQ — 20 yard dumpster rental in Lafayette

How big is a 20 yard dumpster?expand_more
A 20 yard roll-off measures about 22 ft long × 8 ft wide × 4.5 ft tall and holds 20 cubic yards — roughly 6–8 full-size pickup truck loads. It occupies about two parking spaces end to end and still fits most residential driveways.
How much does a 20 yard dumpster cost?expand_more
A 20 yard dumpster starts at $749 when you book 7 or more days ahead — shorter-notice deliveries cost more. The price includes delivery, pickup, a 7-day rental, and 2 tons of disposal. Extra days are $50/day and overweight loads are billed per ton after pickup.
Is a 20 yard dumpster big enough for a kitchen remodel?expand_more
Yes — the 20 yard is the standard kitchen-remodel box. Cabinets, countertops, flooring, appliance packaging, and the drywall you open up all fit comfortably, and the 2-ton allowance covers a typical kitchen's debris weight.
How many roofing squares fit in a 20 yard dumpster?expand_more
Weight is the limit before volume: with a 2-ton allowance, figure two layers of asphalt shingles off a roof around 2,500 sq ft (about 25 squares single-layer). For triple layers or larger roofs, go 30 yard.
Can I put concrete or dirt in a 20 yard dumpster?expand_more
Don't — a 20 yard filled even a quarter of the way with concrete blows far past its 2-ton allowance, and the overage is billed per ton. Clean concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt go in the 10 Yard Heavy box: flat rate, no weight limit.
20 yard vs 30 yard — which one do I need?expand_more
Pick the 20 for one big room (kitchen, garage, roof) and the 30 for the whole house (gut renovation, estate cleanout, construction debris). If your project list keeps growing as you plan, that's usually a sign you want the 30.
How much does a 20 yard dumpster cost in Lafayette, CA?expand_more
A 20 yard roll-off in Lafayette starts at $749 when you book 7+ days ahead — shorter-notice deliveries cost more. That covers delivery to your Lafayette driveway or jobsite, pickup, a 7-day rental, and 2 tons of disposal. Extra days are $50/day; overweight is billed per ton after pickup.
Do I need a permit for a 20 yard dumpster in Lafayette?expand_more
Not if it sits entirely on your private Lafayette driveway or property — that's how most rentals here work. If the box must go on a public street, Lafayette requires an encroachment permit — see the local rules section on this page for the specifics. Apply before your delivery date.
