A 20 yard trash dumpster holds roughly 20 cubic yards of debris, enough for a mid-size roof tear-off or a full garage clean-out, and it is one of the most requested 20 Yard Dumpster Rental sizes we place. Kirkland Porta Pros prices this 20 yard roll-off dumpster rental by the day, the week or the month, and the unit fits most driveways without eating the whole yard.

Picture a box about 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 4.5 feet tall; those dumpster dimensions for the 20 yard size, sometimes listed as the 20 yard dumpster measurements on spec sheets, are what most crews plan a layout around. That footprint handles drywall, flooring, old cabinets and yard waste from a project the size of a kitchen remodel or a two-car garage cleanout, and it pairs well with a Standard Porta Potty Rental when a crew is on site all week. If you are not sure this size fits your pile, Dumpster Sizes and Dimensions walks through the dumpster sizes for the 20 yard option alongside the 10, 30 and 40 yard choices side by side. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point to place the container flat and pull out without dragging it across a curb or a lawn in Kirkland. That clearance matters more on older streets near downtown Kirkland where driveways run short and parking is tight, similar to what we see on jobs near Porta Potty Rental in Kenmore, WA, 5.5 miles northwest. If your site cannot offer that runway, call ahead so the driver can plan an angle placement instead of turning you away at the curb; the same access questions come up when we quote a Roll-Off Dumpster Rental anywhere in the service area. Homeowners doing a single-story reno usually land between 10 and 20 yards; contractors clearing a full interior often go straight to 30 Yard Dumpster Rental or 40 Yard Dumpster Rental instead. For smaller loads, the 10 Yard Dumpster Rental page covers driveway jobs and single-room gutting, and our Service Areas page lists every city we deliver a 20 yard dumpster size into.

Day rates suit a fast tear-out; week and month pricing fits a remodel that drags on past a single weekend. A separate delivery fee applies on top of the rental, and that runs from about 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance and access, similar to how a Storage Container Rental or a Temporary Fence Rental prices delivery separately from the unit.

If the container sits in a driveway or on private property, you likely need nothing from the city. Placement in the street or the public right of way is a different matter and needs confirming with the City of Kirkland directly, since we cannot cite a specific ordinance here without checking it first. Dumpster Permit Requirements covers the general pattern other cities use so you know what questions to ask. Contractors running an active build should also look at Construction Dumpster Rental and Construction Site Services, since a single delivery often bundles with a portable toilet order and maybe a Handwashing Station Rental, under OSHA 1926.51(c), which sets toilet counts by crew size on a job site. Housekeeping rules under OSHA 1926.25 also require debris to be cleared from active work areas, which is exactly the job a roll-off is doing on site. If your project sits near Bothell, 6.1 miles north, or Woodinville, 7.8 miles northeast, our routes cover both without a long-haul surcharge tacked onto the delivery fee.
Most rentals run by the day, week or month, and the table above reflects all three. A week is standard for kitchen or bath remodels; contractors doing a slower gut job often go monthly since the per-day cost drops the longer you keep it.
Paint, batteries, tires, refrigerants and most chemicals are excluded on standard loads. Full detail lives on What Cannot Go In a Dumpster. Ask before loading anything liquid or pressurized so the haul does not get rejected at the landfill.
Most residential driveways in Kirkland handle it fine, but the truck needs roughly 60 feet of straight clearance to set it down level. Narrow lots or steep driveways sometimes call for street placement instead, which shifts the permit question.
Weight limits vary by material type and by hauler agreement, and going over triggers an extra charge. Dumpster Weight Limits breaks down typical caps by debris type so you can plan the load before it is too late to split it.
Usually no, if it sits entirely on private land like a driveway or yard. Placement anywhere touching a city street or sidewalk needs a call to the City of Kirkland to confirm what is required before delivery day.
