A 20 yard dumpster holds around 8 pickup truck loads and works for roof tear-offs, garage cleanouts and mid-size remodels. Richardson Porta Pros prices day rentals between $51 and $112, with typical jobs landing near $75 a day depending on how long you keep it. Weekly and monthly terms cost more but drop the per-day rate.
A 20 yard roll-off dumpster is the size most Richardson homeowners land on when a 10 yard bin feels tight and a 30 yard feels like overkill. If you are still deciding, check dumpster sizes and dimensions for a side by side comparison, or look at the smaller 10 yard dumpster rental and the bigger 30 yard dumpster rental options before you commit. The truck dropping it off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the unit, so a driveway that opens onto a street rather than a cul-de-sac loads faster. Once it is placed, most homeowners fill a 20 yard bin with framing, drywall, flooring, and old furniture without hitting the sides. If your project throws off heavier debris like shingles or concrete, weight adds up fast, and it helps to read dumpster weight limits before you load anything dense to the top.
A 20 yard trash dumpster comfortably fits a kitchen demo, a full-house declutter, or debris from a deck rebuild. It is not built for everything though. Certain materials, including tires, batteries and most liquids, cannot go in regardless of dumpster size, and what cannot go in a dumpster covers the full list so you are not stuck paying a rejection fee. Contractors running a bigger job in Richardson often pair a dumpster with other construction site services, since a single roll-off rarely covers a whole project. If you are not sure this size fits your scope, our dumpster rental cost guide breaks down pricing by size so you can compare before ordering. Homeowners doing a renovation instead of new construction usually want the home renovation porta potty page too, since a bin and a toilet often get delivered together.
Placement rules depend on where the dumpster sits. If it stays on your driveway or private lot, you likely will not need anything from the city. If it has to sit in the street or right of way, that changes, and this needs confirming directly with Richardson before delivery day. We do not guess at ordinance numbers here, so check dumpster permit requirements and call the city to confirm before you schedule. This matters more in tighter neighborhoods near downtown Richardson than it does out toward Murphy, which sits about 8.5 miles northeast, where lots tend to be wider and driveways longer.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Delivery is billed separately and generally runs $100 to $150 for a short-term rental. If your job also needs sanitation on site, bundling in a standard porta potty rental or checking porta potty rental cost at the same time saves a second call.

Most rentals run by the day, week or month, and pricing scales with duration. A week costs more than a single day but less per day overall. Confirm your timeline when booking so Richardson Porta Pros can hold the unit that long.
Driveways and private lots are the easiest spot, no permit conversation needed in most cases. Street or right-of-way placement needs confirming with the city first. See dumpster permit requirements for the questions to ask before delivery.
A 20 yard bin suits mid-size cleanouts, roof jobs and single-room remodels. Smaller demolition or yard debris often fits a 10 yard dumpster rental, while whole-house guts usually need a 40 yard dumpster rental. Compare volumes on dumpster sizes and dimensions.
Usually yes, but banned items still apply regardless of what else is in the bin. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before loading, since tires, paint, and certain electronics are common rejection triggers on Richardson jobs.
