Quick answer: A 20-yard dumpster rental in Longview costs $479 flat rate — delivery, 7-day rental, pickup, and TCEQ-compliant disposal included. It measures 16 feet long by 8 feet wide by 4.5 feet tall, holds approximately 6 pickup truck loads, and supports 3 tons of debris. This is the most popular size in Longview — it handles full home renovations, roofing projects up to 2,000 square feet, and estate cleanouts across every Longview ZIP code.
20-yard dumpster dimensions and capacity
The 20-yard measures 16 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall. It holds approximately 6 full-size pickup truck loads of debris — enough for a complete home renovation or an entire household’s worth of belongings.
At 4.5 feet tall, most adults can still clear the sidewall. The rear swinging door opens flat for walking in heavy items, appliances, and bundled materials. At 16 feet long, it takes up about two parking spaces on a standard Longview driveway — enough room to park in front of or behind it on most properties.
The 3-ton weight limit is the key advantage over the 15-yard. That extra ton means you can load a full renovation’s worth of mixed debris — drywall, tile, wood, and moderate-weight debris without worrying about the scale.
What the 20-yard handles in Longview
Here is why the 20-yard dominates residential work in Gregg County:
Full home renovation
Kitchen gut, bathroom demo, flooring throughout, drywall removal — the 20-yard handles a complete home renovation for properties up to about 2,000 square feet. Whether you are renovating a 75601 Longview Heights property or updating a 75605 Spring Hill home, this is the standard contractor recommendation.
Roofing up to 2,000 square feet
Asphalt shingles weigh approximately 3 pounds per square foot. A 2,000 square foot roof produces about 6,000 pounds of shingle debris — exactly 3 tons, right at the 20-yard limit. For a single-layer tear-off on a roof under 2,000 square feet, the 20-yard is the right call. Multiple layers or roofs over 2,000 square feet should step up to the 30-yard.
Estate cleanout
Clearing an entire household after a family member passes, or cleaning out a property before a sale, is one of our most common 20-yard bookings in Longview. Furniture, appliances, clothing, household items, and miscellaneous accumulation from decades of living — the 20-yard handles it. We offer extended rental at $7 to $10 per day because we understand estate cleanouts cannot always be rushed.
Storm debris cleanup
After the March 2026 storms that knocked out power to over 21,000 Longview customers and downed trees across the East Flemming and Pine Tree Road corridor, the 20-yard was our most-requested emergency container. Fallen branches, fence sections, damaged siding, and water-damaged interior materials fit in a single 20-yard for most residential properties.
3 tons: the weight sweet spot for Longview projects
Three tons (6,000 pounds) is the practical threshold for most residential waste in East Texas. At this weight limit, you can load a full renovation’s worth of mixed debris — drywall, wood, carpet, tile, and household items — without worrying about the scale.
Where 3 tons gets tight is heavy material. Concrete runs about 4,000 pounds per cubic yard — just 3 cubic yards maxes out a 20-yard’s weight limit while the container still looks mostly empty. East Texas clay soil weighs 2,200 to 2,400 pounds per cubic yard — about 5 cubic yards before you hit 3 tons.
The roofing math is exact: a 2,000 square foot roof at 3 pounds per square foot produces 6,000 pounds of shingles — 3 tons. That leaves zero margin for felt paper, flashing, nails, and any drip edge. If your Longview roof is close to 2,000 square feet, the 30-yard with its 4-ton limit gives you breathing room.

How to book a 20-yard dumpster in Longview
Booking takes about five minutes, and you do not need to be home for delivery. Here is exactly how it works.
- Tell us the job and your ZIP code — Call or text (903) 555-0192 Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 6 PM. Tell us what you are clearing and whether you are in 75601, 75602, 75603, 75604, or 75605.
- Confirm the drop spot — Pick the flat, clear patch where the container goes. A 20-yard is 16 feet long and 8 feet wide, and our truck needs a straight approach.
- Get delivery next business day, or same day — Most orders go out the next business day. Call before 10 AM to ask about same-day delivery on in-stock containers. The driver texts a photo of the placed container, and you do not need to be home.
- Load it, then call or text for pickup — Fill to the top edge only, never above the walls. Call or text when you are done, or before day seven, and we add you to the next pickup route, usually within 24 hours.
Is a 20-yard enough for your roof tear-off?
Shingles weigh about three pounds per square foot, so a single-layer 2,000-square-foot roof produces roughly three tons of debris, which is exactly the 20-yard’s included weight. That is the working rule: single layer, up to about 2,000 square feet, a 20-yard works. Above that, or with two layers, step up to a 30-yard.
Two details trip people up. First, felt paper, flashing, and nails add 10 to 15 percent beyond pure shingle weight. Second, rain adds water weight to uncovered shingle debris, and Longview averages about 50 inches a year. Cover the container between work days, and if your roof sits right at 2,000 square feet, plan on the 30-yard. Our roofing dumpster guide has the full weight table.
