20 Yard Dumpster Rental in Citrus County, FL

The 20 yard roll-off is the workhorse size for home projects in Citrus County. It is big enough for a full kitchen remodel or a whole-house cleanout and still fits on most driveways. Call (352) 765-8040 and we will connect you with an independent local dumpster company for a free quote. We are a referral service, not the hauler.

How big is a 20 yard dumpster?

A 20 yard container holds twenty cubic yards, about six pickup-truck loads. Most are about 22 feet long, 7 to 8 feet wide and 4 to 5 feet tall. The longer box takes long items like carpet rolls, cabinets and framing lumber without cutting them down.

Jobs that call for a 20 yard

• Whole-house cleanouts. Clearing a home before a sale, after a move, or after a loved one passes. Furniture, mattresses, boxes and household goods add up fast.
• Kitchen remodels. Cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring and drywall from a full gut.
• Roof tear-offs. Many single-story Citrus County homes fall in the 20 to 30 square range. A 20 yard handles most one-layer tear-offs; see our roofing dumpster page for weight math.
• Flooring replacement. Carpet, pad and tile from a whole house.
• Mid-size demolition. A screen room, shed or small addition.
• Storm cleanup. Wet drywall, carpet and furniture after flooding. See storm debris.

20 yard vs. 10 yard vs. 30 yard

When you are unsure, size up. A second haul almost always costs more than the price gap between a 20 and a 30.

Weight, days and price

A 20 yard rental usually includes two to three tons and seven to fourteen days. Heavy debris such as shingles, tile and wet drywall can hit the limit before the box looks full. Ask your provider:

• How many tons are included, and what is the per-ton overage?
• How many days, and what does an extra day cost?
• Is there a fee for mattresses, tires or appliances?

Pricing is usually a flat rate covering delivery, pickup and disposal. A 20 yard costs more than a 10 yard, mostly because of the bigger weight allowance and landfill fees. The county charges haulers by the ton at its Central Landfill near Lecanto, and that cost is part of every quote. Call (352) 765-8040 for an exact price for your address.

Placement on Citrus County properties

A 20 yard needs a flat, firm spot about 25 feet long with clear room for the truck to back in and tilt the bed. Driveways work best. Many lots in Citrus Springs, Beverly Hills and Inverness Highlands have sandy soil that turns soft in the summer rainy season, so avoid parking on the lawn after storms.

Street placement may need a permit from Citrus County Public Works. Deed-restricted neighborhoods such as Sugarmill Woods, Citrus Hills and Pine Ridge often have HOA rules on how long a container can stay. Ask before you book so you can schedule the pickup in time.

Making a whole-house cleanout easier

Cleanouts are emotional and physical work. A few things help:

1. Sort keepers, donations and trash before the dumpster arrives, so the rental clock is not running while you decide.
2. Call local charities for pickup of furniture in good shape.
3. Recruit help for one long weekend instead of spreading it over weeks.
4. If you would rather not lift anything, ask about full-service junk removal instead of a dumpster.

What stays out of the box

No liquid paint, chemicals, batteries, propane tanks, fuel or tires. Refrigerators and AC units with refrigerant need special handling. The county takes household hazardous waste at the landfill.
