A 20-yard dumpster can handle a substantial amount of yard waste, making it suitable for medium to large clean-up projects. It can fit everything that a 10-yard dumpster can handle and more. A 20-yard dumpster can accommodate various large items, making it ideal for home cleanouts, renovations, and big projects. Here are some of the larger items that can typically fit:
Large Household Items:
- Furniture
- Sofas/Couches – Sectionals or standard-sized sofas.
- Chairs and recliners – Including oversized armchairs or recliners.
- Tables – Dining room tables, coffee tables, and desks.
- Mattresses and bed frames – Queen or king-size mattresses, bed frames, and box springs.
- Appliances
- Refrigerators (check local disposal rules, especially for refrigerants).
- Washing machines and dryers.
- Dishwashers.
- Stoves, ovens, and microwaves.
- Large Electronics
- Televisions – Large flat screens or older tube TVs.
- Entertainment centers or large shelving units.
- Construction and Renovation Debris
- Lumber – Large wood pieces from construction or demolition.
- Drywall – Sections of drywall from renovation projects.
- Flooring materials – Carpeting, tiles, or hardwood planks.
- Old roofing materials – Shingles, gutters, and related debris.
- Outdoor Items
- Patio furniture – Large tables, chairs, or loungers.
- Grills – Full-sized grills.

Key Considerations:
- Volume: A 20-yard dumpster has enough room for the equivalent of about 6 pickup truck loads.
- Weight: While you can fit large, bulky items, make sure to stay within the dumpster’s weight limit, which typically ranges from 2-3 tons.
This size is commonly used for decluttering a home, garage, or yard after a major renovation or cleanout project.
