Charlotte garage and basement cleanout dumpster sizes — ballpark ranges, exact price confirmed on site
Garage volume is set by what stands vertically, not by the slab size. Wire shelving, a workbench, two bikes, a dead treadmill, and eight years of holiday bins fill a 10-yard container faster than most people expect, because none of it packs flat. A useful rule: count the pickup-truck loads you'd otherwise make. A 10-yard roll-off holds roughly 3 pickup loads, a 15-yard about 4, and a 20-yard about 6. Furniture and mattresses are the swing factor — a single sectional sofa can eat a quarter of a 10-yard box. When a homeowner is between two sizes on a cleanout, the larger container is almost always the cheaper decision, since a second haul costs a full second rental.
The 20-yard is the workhorse for combined cleanouts — garage plus storage room, or a bonus-room and attic clear-out done in the same weekend. A 20-yard box runs roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and about 4.5 to 6 feet tall depending on the container, so the walls are low enough to load a dresser over the side instead of walking everything up the door end. That height difference is why a 20-yard often beats a 30-yard for household work: the 30-yard's taller walls make lifting furniture in genuinely hard. Reserve the 30-yard for estate-level volume, where a whole house is emptying at once and the extra capacity earns its keep.
