A 20 yard roll-off dumpster runs about 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 4.5 feet tall, and holds roughly the load of a full garage cleanout or a mid-size roof tear-off. Providence Porta Pros prices these in the $91 to $500 a month range depending on how long you keep it and how much you throw in.
Dumpster dimensions on a 20 yard box land close to 22 feet by 7.5 feet by 4.5 feet, though exact dumpster measurements shift a little by manufacturer. That footprint sits between the smaller 10 yard dumpster rental and the bigger 30 yard dumpster rental, which makes it the size most Providence homeowners land on for a kitchen gut or a deck demo. If you're not sure this is the right box, dumpster sizes and dimensions walks through all four sizes side by side. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind them to drop and pull a roll-off cleanly, so measure your driveway or the curb space in front of your Providence address before the truck shows up. Tight urban lots near downtown Providence sometimes need the box placed in the street instead, which is a separate conversation with the city.
Construction debris, furniture, drywall, roofing shingles and yard waste are the usual fill for this size. What you cannot load matters more than what you can: tires, paint cans, batteries and certain electronics are off limits, and what cannot go in a dumpster covers the full list so you don't get hit with a rejected pickup. Overloading past the fill line or past the weight limit for the box also triggers extra charges, and dumpster weight limits explains how that's measured. If you're running a jobsite instead of a single cleanout, pair the dumpster with construction dumpster rental service and add temporary fence rental around the perimeter if the site borders a sidewalk or a neighbor's yard.
Maybe, depending on where the box sits. If it stays on your own driveway or lawn, most Providence properties don't need anything from the city. If it has to sit in the street or blocks a sidewalk, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery, since permit rules and fees vary by exact location and were not verified for this page.

| unit | duration | typical price |

| dumpster | weekend | $440 |
| dumpster | week | $600 |
| dumpster | month | $108 |
Day rates cover quick same-day loads, weekend rates fit a Friday-to-Monday cleanout, and week or month rates make more sense for a renovation timeline. See dumpster rental cost for how these compare against the other three sizes, and roll-off dumpster rental for the full lineup Providence Porta Pros runs.
Providence Porta Pros also handles the rest of a jobsite: portable toilet rental for crews on site, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the toilet ratio at one unit per 20 workers on a construction site, and a handwashing station rental covers 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not just sanitizer. If the project is a home remodel rather than new construction, home renovation porta potty bundles the toilet with the dumpster order.
Day rates run around $75, weekends around $440, and a full week lands near $600, with monthly rentals starting around $108 for longer jobs. Exact pricing depends on debris type and how long you keep the box. See porta potty rental cost for how these bundle with sanitation on the same jobsite.
Most Providence rentals run a weekend, a week or a full month, whichever fits the job. Renters who need the box longer than a month should ask about extended monthly terms directly, since long jobs often price out better than repeated weekly renewals.
Most residential driveways in Providence fit a 20 yard box, but the truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to deliver and pick up safely. Measure your space first, and call if your driveway is short, curved or gated.
A 20 yard box handles a single-room renovation or a garage cleanout. A 30 yard box, covered on 30 yard dumpster rental, suits whole-house cleanouts or bigger construction debris loads. When in doubt, how many porta potties do I need style sizing logic applies here too: estimate volume, then size up.
Only if it sits in the public right of way instead of on your own property. That placement needs confirming with the city of Providence before delivery, since rules vary by street and were not verified for this page.
