Loading Tips
To maximize space and stay within weight limits in South Jordan:
- Break down large items (furniture, cabinets) before loading
- Distribute weight evenly—heavy items on the bottom, lighter on top
- Fill voids with smaller debris to use every cubic foot efficiently
- Do not load above the top rail—tarping and transport require level fills
- Avoid soaking materials (wet drywall, saturated carpet) which add unnecessary weight
Why the 20 Yard Dumpster is the Most Popular Size
In South Jordan and across Utah, the 20 yard dumpster consistently ranks as the top choice for homeowners and contractors. Here's why:
- Perfect middle ground: Not too small to require multiple hauls, not so large that you're paying for unused capacity. It's the Goldilocks size for most residential projects.
- Versatile applications: From remodels to cleanouts to roofing, the 20-yarder handles the widest range of common projects without requiring project-specific sizing.
- Driveway-friendly dimensions: At 22 feet long, it fits in most standard driveways in South Jordan without blocking garages or extending into the street.
- Cost-effective: You get significantly more capacity than a 15 yard for only a modest price increase—typically $50–$75 more—while avoiding the premium of a 30 yard container.
- Weight allowance matches projects: The included 2–3 ton weight limit aligns perfectly with typical remodel and cleanout debris, minimizing overage fees.
- Easy walk-in access: The 4.5-foot sidewall height allows most people to toss bags and boxes over the side while still being low enough to walk materials in via the rear door.
Whether you're a DIY homeowner tackling a kitchen remodel or a contractor managing a roof replacement in South Jordan, the 20 yard dumpster delivers the capacity, convenience, and value that make it the go-to choice.
