20 Yard Dumpster Dimensions and Weight Limit
The box is 16 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall. It includes 3 tons, or 6,000 pounds.
Roofing is the most common weight surprise. A roofing square is 100 square feet of roof, and asphalt shingles weigh about 180 to 240 pounds per square. After allowing for felt and nails, a 20 yard with 3 tons covers about 22 to 29 squares of one layer. A second layer can double the weight, and rain adds more. For a two layer roof, plan on a bigger box or a second one.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment uses about 1,800 pounds per cubic yard for clean rubble such as concrete and brick. At that rate, 3 tons covers about 3.3 cubic yards of rubble. Concrete and brick should go in their own smaller box.
20 Yard Dumpster for Roofing in Longview
East Texas storms keep roofers busy. On July 6, 2026, the National Weather Service in Shreveport warned of 60 mph gusts and hail in southeastern Gregg County, after a similar warning in July 2025. After storms like that, roofers book boxes fast.
Give us your roof squares, shingle type, and number of layers when you call. We will match the size to the weight. On an older roof, ask your roofer about asbestos testing before tear off. Cover the box before rain, because wet shingles weigh more. For more detail, read our roofing dumpster page.

Is a 20 Yard Dumpster Rental Longview TX the Right Size?
Choose a 20 yard for a roof, a double room remodel, or a big cleanout. Choose a 15 yard for one kitchen or a rental unit. Choose a 25 yard or two boxes if the roof has two layers or the house is full. When you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.
Contractors who run bigger jobs can use two boxes, one for heavy debris and one for light debris. Read our page on construction debris dumpsters for how to split a load.
Where Can a 20 Yard Dumpster Go?
You need a spot about 16 feet long and 8 feet wide. The truck needs about 60 feet of straight room and about 23 to 25 feet of clear height. Look up for low limbs and power lines, and look around for parked cars, fences, and gates.
If the box sits fully on your driveway or yard, you generally do not need a city permit. If it goes on the street or the sidewalk, call Engineering Services at 903 237 1362. Most Longview driveways can hold a 20 yard. On a soft or new driveway, ask for boards under the box.
