20 Yard Dumpster Rental in Simpsonville, SC

If you call us without a size in mind and describe a project that touches more than one or two rooms, there’s a good chance we point you toward the 20 yard. It’s our most-booked residential size for a reason: at 22 ft long by 7.5 ft wide by 4.5 ft tall, it holds about 6 pickup-truck loads of debris, which covers a whole-house cleanout, a larger remodel, or a full roof tear-off without needing a second drop-off partway through.

Weight allowance runs 3–4 tons, enough headroom that most household and remodel debris never comes close to the limit — it’s volume, not weight, that fills a 20 yard in the typical case. That changes if the load leans heavy on shingles, tile, or other dense material, so tell us what’s coming out when you call and we’ll confirm the 20 yard is still the right fit rather than the 30 yard stepping in ahead of schedule. Call (864) 432-6521 and we’ll walk through the project with you.

Why It’s Our Most-Booked Size

Most residential projects in Simpsonville land right in the range a 20 yard is built for — bigger than a single room, smaller than a full gut renovation. It’s the size that keeps a whole-house cleanout or a multi-room remodel to one delivery instead of two, and it does that without crowding a driveway the way a 30 yard can on a tighter in-town lot. When a customer calls unsure of what they need, this is usually where the conversation lands — see our size guide for the full breakdown across all five sizes.

20 Yard vs. 30 Yard — Which Way to Go

The 20 yard covers the great majority of whole-house and remodel jobs, but a couple of situations push toward the 30 yard instead: a commercial cleanout, a new-build construction site generating ongoing debris, or a whole-house project where you’d rather not risk running out of room mid-job. If your project is a single house and you’re not dealing with construction-grade volume, the 20 yard is usually the safer default — it’s sized for exactly that range. Call (864) 432-6521 and describe the job and we’ll steer you to whichever size actually fits.

What Doesn’t Fit / Weight Considerations

The 3–4 ton weight allowance handles general household and remodel debris comfortably, but a roofing tear-off approaching that 50-square ceiling, or a load mixing in tile and concrete, can bring weight into play before the box looks full — mention the material mix when you book. Whole tires can’t go in any size container; South Carolina bans them from landfill disposal outright under S.C. Code § 44-96-170, plus a $2 fee at time of sale or disposal, so those go to a registered tire retailer. Lead-acid batteries are banned under § 44-96-180 and belong at a battery retailer or recycler. Major appliances — refrigerators, washers, dryers, water heaters — fall under South Carolina’s “white goods” landfill ban, § 44-96-200. Electronics and TVs have been barred from landfill disposal statewide since July 2011, a real legal ban, not a suggestion. Asbestos, paint, fuel, and other chemicals are never permitted in any size. See our what can go in a dumpster in South Carolina guide for the full list.

Typical Rental Period

A 20 yard rental generally covers a standard rental window, which is plenty of time for a whole-house cleanout or a multi-room remodel to wrap. If the job runs long — a contractor delay, a weather hold, more debris than expected once you get into it — call us and we’ll work out an extension rather than leaving you racing a deadline.
