What the 20-yard holds
About six to seven pickup-truck loads. That is a kitchen and bath remodel, a deck tear-off, a single-layer roof on a modest house, or a garage cleanout with some furniture. The walls are low enough that a homeowner can throw debris over the side without a ladder. It is the can we drop most often because it fits a residential driveway and still takes a real remodel.
The published card at the Brooksville yard is $600 for a 20-yard roll-off with 3.5 tons included, and $700 for a 30-yard roll-off with 4.5 tons included. Both include 14 days. A day past that window is $10. A ton past the allowance is $55. The heavy-duty concrete can is the same 20-yard box, quoted by the load because concrete hits the tonnage limit before it fills the rim. Contractor and repeat-account pricing is quoted off this card, not invented on the website.
If the debris is concrete, block, or brick, do not use this standard 20-yard. Ask for the heavy-duty concrete can. It is the same outer size, but it is rated for dense loads, and it is priced by the load rather than the $600 mixed-debris rate. A standard can full of concrete will exceed 3.5 tons long before it looks full, and the $55-per-ton overage will cost more than booking the right box.
When the 20-yard is the wrong can
The 20-yard is the can we publish for a full-house cleanout, a larger remodel, a mid-size roof, and light demo. Use the 30-yard when the pile is a new addition, an estate, or roofing plus an interior gut that will not fit six or seven pickup loads. People who guess low and then order a second 20-yard spend more than starting with the larger can. If you are unsure, describe the pile in pickup loads.
Every truck leaves 16297 Cortez Blvd, Brooksville, FL 34601. The dispatch number is (352) 238-3147. There is no second office in Spring Hill, Tampa, or anywhere else on the list. Same- or next-business-day is the scheduling goal once the street address is known. It is not a promise that ignores drive time or a full board.
The 20-yard still comes from Brooksville, including jobs in Spring Hill, Pasco, Citrus, and the Tampa side of the map. The rate on this page is the published card. A longer drive does not add a fuel line to the $600. If the street cannot take the truck, we say so before the drop instead of after.
Jobs that fit a 20-yard
A kitchen and one bathroom: cabinets, a vanity, tile, drywall, and the packaging. A wood deck on a typical house, cut into pieces that sit below the 5-foot wall. A garage that has been a storage unit for a decade, once the appliances and the paint are pulled out and handled separately. A single layer of shingles on a smaller roof, if the crew is not also gutting the interior on the same can.
Six to seven pickup loads is the practical ceiling, not a suggestion to heap the box. Debris above the rim is a rejected pull. The driver will not tarp a can that is piled into a pyramid. If you are already at the rim and the pile in the yard is still large, stop and call for the 30-yard instead of forcing the 20.
The footprint is 16 by 7.5 feet. That fits most residential driveways that can take a truck. Measure the straight length, not the diagonal. A curve, a basketball hoop, or a low oak limb will stop the set even when the square footage looks fine on paper.
Loading the 20-yard so the weight stays honest
Heavy pieces go in first, toward the front, broken so they sit flat. Cabinets and drywall on top. Do not save the concrete chunks for the last hour. A standard 20-yard at $600 includes 3.5 tons. Tile and thinset from one bathroom rarely threaten that. A patio slab does. If you can hear the chunk hit the steel and the pile is still only knee-high, you are in concrete territory and you want the heavy-duty can, quoted by the load.
Keep a lane down one side until the end so you are not climbing a mountain of drywall to throw the last bags. The walls are 5 feet, which is the reason homeowners pick this size over the 30-yard. You should not need a ladder. If you need a ladder, the can is already too full or you ordered the wrong height.
Paint cans, tires, and batteries do not go in. A single set of them can get the load turned around at the facility, and then the can comes back to your driveway. Pull them before the pickup call.
The 20-yard against the 30-yard
The price gap is $100. The capacity gap is about three pickup loads and an extra foot of wall, plus 6 more feet of length. Choose the 20-yard when the driveway is tight and the pile is one room or one roof. Choose the 30-yard when a second drop is likely. Two 20-yard rentals are $1,200 before any overage. One 30-yard is $700. The arithmetic is the reason we ask for pickup loads before we recommend a size.
Both cans include 14 days and then $10 a day. Both charge $55 per ton past their allowance. The 20-yard allowance is 3.5 tons. The 30-yard allowance is 4.5 tons. A heavier, bulkier cleanout often lands inside the 30-yard allowance and outside the 20-yard allowance, which eats the $100 you thought you saved.
The truck still leaves 16297 Cortez Blvd. A 20-yard in Brooksville and a 20-yard in Pasco are the same box and the same $600. The appointment window is what changes with distance.
Walk the driveway before you book the 20-yard
Start at the street and walk the path the truck will use. You need a straight 16 feet where the box will sit, plus room for the truck to tilt the rails. Width is 7.5 feet, and the truck is wider than the box while it is placing it. A car in the driveway, a basketball hoop at the edge, or a trailer in the turnaround has to move before the window, not during it.
Look up. Oak limbs and service drops across a Brooksville driveway stop more sets than the ground does. If a limb is in the arc of the bed, the driver will not force it. Trim it or pick another spot. Look down. Fresh concrete, pavers, and brick need to be named on the call so boards go on the truck. A soft lawn after a Florida afternoon storm may wait until morning.
The 20-yard is the size we publish for a full-house cleanout, a larger remodel of two or more rooms, a mid-size roof tear-off, and light demo and flooring. It is also the most-requested can. Step up to the 30-yard when the pile is an addition, an estate, or roofing plus an interior gut that will not fit in six or seven pickup loads. Step sideways to the heavy-duty can when the pile is concrete, brick, or block. The $600 rate is for mixed debris, not for a patio.
Load heavy and flat first. Cabinets and bags last. Stop at the rim. A heaped can does not get pulled, and the day you lose is your remodel, not ours. Paint, tires, and batteries stay out of the box. Call (352) 238-3147 when it is ready. The truck returns to 16297 Cortez Blvd.
After the 20-yard is set
Load it below the rim, keep prohibited items out, and call for the pull inside the 14 days if you can. The office number does not change when the can is already in the driveway. Extra days are $10. The scale at the facility, not the look of the pile, decides the tons.
