Asked constantly
20 or 30 yard - how do I choose?
One trade or one floor: take the 20. Gutting multiple rooms or framing anything: the 30. The upgrade costs less than a second haul, every time.
How many shingle squares per box?
About 30 to 35 single-layer squares in a 10 yard. Two layers cuts that roughly in half - which is when the 20 earns its slot.
What does a 10 yard actually hold?
Three pickup loads, give or take: one room's remodel debris, a garage's clutter, or about 30 squares of shingles.
What does a 20 yard actually hold?
Eight pickup loads: a kitchen down to studs, a whole-house declutter, or a deck plus the fence behind it.
What does a 30 yard actually hold?
Six to eight truck loads with tall walls - whole-home renovation territory, or new construction framing debris.
