20 Yard Dumpster Rental for Construction in Cincinnati, OH
Another 20 Yard Drop on a Cincinnati Construction Site
Pulled into a Cincinnati job site this week with one of our 20 yard dumpsters for a contractor mid-build. Framing scraps, demo debris, drywall, broken pallets — the kind of pile that grows fast on a working site. The 20-yard is the can we get asked for most on construction jobs around Cincinnati, and it's easy to see why.

Why Contractors in Cincinnati Pick the 20 Yard
A 20 yard dumpster holds roughly 9-10 pickup truck loads of debris. On a construction site, that means you're not stopping work to run loads to the transfer station, and your crew isn't tripping over a half-full 10-yarder by lunch on day two.
The footprint is the same as the 10 and 15 yard — 12' long, 8' wide — just taller at 7' tall. That matters in Cincinnati because most residential lots and commercial side yards can fit the length, and the extra height is where the volume comes from. We drop on driveways, parking pads, and tight backstreets in Norwood, Oakley, Hyde Park, and Anderson Township all week.

What Fits in a 20 Yard Construction Dumpster
For a working Cincinnati construction job, a single 20-yarder typically handles:
- Full kitchen or bath gut — cabinets, countertops, flooring, drywall, tile
- Framing and demo scraps from an addition or whole-room remodel
- Roof tear-off up to ~25 squares of asphalt shingles (see our roofing dumpster guide)
- Siding replacement debris on a typical Cincinnati single-family
- Whole-house cleanouts before a renovation starts
Pricing — Straight Numbers
The 20 yard starts at $199 for a 24-hour rental, plus $0.09/lb on weight. That's the same base rate as the 10 and 15 — you're paying for what you actually throw away, not the size of the box. Driveway protection, delivery, and pickup are all included. No fuel charges, no zone fees, no weekend upcharges.

Most construction customers extend past the 24-hour minimum — just let us know up front and we'll quote the multi-day rate when you book.
