The 20 yard container in Quincy, IL
The 20 yard is the size we deliver most often, and there's a simple reason for it: it's big enough to handle a real renovation or a full re-roof without forcing you to guess on a second delivery, but it's still practical to place on a standard driveway.
Whether it's a kitchen and bath combo, a full tear-off roof job on a house near downtown Quincy, or clearing out a house before it goes on the market, the 20 yard covers more projects than any other size we stock.
Who the 20 Yard Is Built For
This is the go-to size for a kitchen-and-bath remodel, a full roof tear-off, or a large basement or estate cleanout where a 15 yard would leave you short. It's also the size most contractors around Quincy request by default when they haven't measured out the debris in advance.
What Actually Fills It
A full roof tear-off on an average-size house, gutted cabinetry and flooring from a kitchen remodel, or a whole-house decluttering ahead of a move will typically fill a 20 yard. It's also the size that handles combined interior demo — drywall, old cabinetry, and flooring — from more than one room at once.
Delivery and Placement
At 22 feet, the 20 yard needs a longer driveway or a bigger stretch of curb than our smaller boxes, and the truck needs enough room to back in straight. On the tighter, older lots near downtown Quincy or in the South Side district, our crew will walk through placement with you ahead of time so there are no surprises on delivery day.

Placing a 20 yard container on a Quincy-area property
The 20 yard is a regular sight on re-roofing jobs after a west-central Illinois hailstorm rolls through, and it's the size we bring most for clearing out a full house on the bluffs above the Mississippi before it's listed or handed down after a family move.

Answers
20 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
Is a 20 yard dumpster big enough for a full roof replacement?
For most average-size single-family homes in Quincy, yes — a full tear-off of asphalt shingles typically fits within the 3 to 4 ton limit. If the roof has multiple layers of old shingles or a lot of wood decking to replace, mention it up front so we can plan for the extra weight.
How much driveway space does a 20 yard dumpster need?
You'll want at least 22 feet of clear, flat space plus room for the delivery truck to back in and drop it straight. If your driveway is shorter or has an obstruction like a low tree branch or carport, tell us before delivery and we'll figure out the best spot.
What's the typical cost of a 20 yard dumpster in Quincy?
Roll-off rental in the Quincy market generally runs $275 to $800 depending on size, weight, and rental length, as a general reference point. A 20 yard usually falls in the middle of that range — call (217) 860-6534 for an exact quote.
