Roll-Off Dumpster Sizes · Odessa, TX
20-Yard Dumpster Rental in Odessa, TX
The 20-yard is our most popular all-around box in Odessa. It is the go-to for a roofing tear-off, a whole-room-plus remodel, or a serious cleanout — big enough to swallow a real job, but still low enough to walk debris in over the side. If you are not sure what size you need, the 20 is rarely the wrong answer.
What does a 20-yard dumpster hold?
Around 20 cubic yards — roughly six pickup loads — in a box about 20 to 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall. That height still lets you toss debris over the rail instead of hauling it up a ramp.

Placement and delivery
At 20 to 22 feet, a 20-yard needs a bit more driveway length and overhead clearance than the smaller boxes — no low power lines or carport roofs over the drop spot. Providers set it on boards and position it so you can still get in and out. Providers cover all of Odessa, Gardendale, and the surrounding Ector County area.
