20 Yard Dumpster Rental in Beaufort, SC

The 20 yard dumpster measures about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall, holding roughly 110 to 130 filled contractor bags. That's a meaningful jump from the 15 yard — enough room for a home addition, a multi-room renovation, or a full-house flooring tear-out, and enough volume to handle a real load of storm debris after a tropical system moves through the Lowcountry.

It's a common choice for larger projects on the historic homes downtown and on Lady's Island, where a multi-room renovation can generate plaster, lath, and heart-pine trim faster than a smaller box can hold, and it's also the size most homeowners reach for in the weeks after a hurricane watch or warning, when downed limbs and storm-damaged material need to move fast. Still deciding between this and the 30 yard? Call (854) 212-5294 and describe the scope — we size these every day.

At 110 to 130 bags, the 20 yard comfortably holds a full kitchen and bathroom remodel done together, a whole-house flooring replacement, or the framing offcuts and drywall from a room addition. The extra 2 feet of length over the 15 yard and half-foot of added height give you real breathing room for bulky items like cabinets, doors, and larger furniture pieces that don't break down flat.

It also handles combined jobs — a renovation that includes both interior demo and some yard cleanup, for instance — without needing two separate deliveries. As with every size, the accepted materials are wood, drywall, tile, flooring, furniture, household clutter, yard clippings and branches, roofing shingles, and small appliances, while paint, solvents, oils, tires, batteries, hazardous chemicals, propane tanks, and medical waste stay out of every container regardless of size. If your project also involves broken concrete or masonry in any real volume, take a look at our concrete and heavy debris page, since that material can hit the weight allowance well before the box looks full.

Beaufort's Atlantic hurricane season runs June through November, and unlike inland parts of the state, storm debris here is a genuine, recurring reality rather than a rare event — downed limbs, damaged fencing, storm-surge-soaked belongings, and broken outdoor structures all generate real volume fast. A 20 yard is often the right size for a single property's cleanup after a tropical storm or hurricane, giving you room for both yard debris and any minor structural damage in one container.

For debris that's mostly limbs, branches, and yard waste, our yard waste removal page covers that side specifically, and our hurricane season storm debris guide walks through what to expect after a named storm moves through. If the property is larger, or the damage is more extensive, the 30 yard may be the better call — either way, call (854) 212-5294 as soon as it's safe to do so, since delivery windows fill up quickly right after a storm.
