20 Yard Dumpster Rental in Lexington, KY

Renting a 20 yard dumpster in Lexington, KY puts the middle size in your driveway. It holds enough that a typical home project usually won't need a second haul, and it still fits most driveways.

What fits in a 20 yard dumpster?

• A kitchen tear-out: cabinets, countertops, flooring and drywall

• Floors or drywall from several rooms

• Clearing out the house before a move or a sale

• A roof tear-off (call first so we can check the weight)

• A mid-size job for a contractor

Remodeling an older Lexington home

A lot of Lexington homes were built before 1980, and older houses tend to throw off heavier debris. Plaster and lath weigh more than drywall, and you might find another floor under the one you're pulling up. If you're gutting a kitchen or bath in Chevy Chase, Kenwick or the older streets inside New Circle, start with a 20 and adjust from there.

Pulling plaster or old trim out of a house built before 1978? Use lead-safe practices. If you're paying someone to do that work, the EPA requires them to be lead-safe (RRP) certified.

Roof tear-offs

Shingles get heavy fast, and a whole roof's worth adds up. The City's Loan-a-Box only takes roofing in small amounts, so it isn't set up for a full tear-off. Give us the roof size and how many layers are coming off, and we'll tell you straight whether a 20 can handle the weight.

What can't go in?

Leave out tires, batteries, liquid paint and asbestos. Appliances that hold refrigerant, like fridges, freezers and window units, have to go out a separate way. Got old floor tile, siding or a textured ceiling that might have asbestos in it? Get it tested before demo day, not after.

Where does a 20 yard go?

Most driveways can take a 20, and the driveway is the first place we'd look. If yours won't work and the box has to go on a public street, the City wants a lane blockage permit for it. Traffic Engineering only issues those when there's no reasonable spot on your property. HOA neighborhoods have their own rules too, so check them before the truck shows up.

Stuck between sizes?

Give us a call at (859) 203-0319 and we'll go over your list before you order too big or too small. A single room or a garage might only need a 10 yard. A whole-house gut or new construction is a job for the 30 yard. Contractors, take a look at our commercial dumpster rental page.
