12 Cubic Yard Containers (12' long x 7 1/2 wide x 4' high) are appropriate for household projects including the cleanout of small room such as a basement, garage or attic space or a small landscaping project. Try visualizing a mini-van. A 12 cu. yd. dumpster has approximately the same dimensions.

20 Cubic Yard Containers (20' long x 7 1/2 wide x 4' high) would be used for bigger projects like the cleanout the entire contents of several rooms or a small house. These containers would also be appropriate for a medium-scale bathroom or kitchen remodel, a roofing, siding, window or deck project. This is the largest size that would be available for a landscaping project.
