Sizing Up Your Space: The Look of a Residential Roll-Off
Wondering what your dumpster will look like once it’s sitting in your driveway? The 15-yard and 20-yard dumpsters our most popular with our homeowners, are both 8 feet wide, so the main difference you’ll notice is their length and height.
Think of it this way: if you have a typical two-car driveway, both sizes will generally fit nicely, but the 20-yard dumpster will extend farther down the driveway. You’ll want to keep this extra length in mind if you have a garage, walkway, gate, parked vehicles, or other areas that need to remain accessible.
The good news is that both dumpsters are designed with residential projects in mind, and our driver will work with your placement instructions to position the dumpster safely and conveniently on your prop

There are several easy ways to let us know exactly where you’d like your dumpster placed. We want to make delivery as simple as possible, so choose whichever option works best for you!
-
Send us a photo. A quick picture of your driveway, yard, or planned placement area can be a great way to show our driver exactly where you want the dumpster.
-
Give us a description. Just let us know where you'd like it placed—for example, “Put it on the left side of the driveway and leave enough room for us to open the gate.” The more helpful details you can provide, the easier it is for our driver to get it right.
-
Leave a marker. You can also place something noticeable, such as a garbage can, cone, or other easy-to-see item, in the spot where you'd like the dumpster delivered.
Whichever method you choose, we'll do our best to place the dumpster where you need it while making sure there is enough room for safe delivery and pickup. If there are any special instructions or access concerns, just let us know when you schedule your dumpster.
Your Cleanup Bin is Arriving
When your dumpster arrives, our driver will carefully position it in the location you selected and make sure it is placed safely and conveniently for your project. We’ll do our best to position the dumpster exactly where you requested while allowing enough room for safe delivery, pickup, and access around the container.
You don’t have to be home for your dumpster delivery as long as we have clear access to the property and have good instructions about where you’d like the dumpster placed. If you’ve provided a photo, description, or marker showing the desired location, our driver can use that information to make the delivery even easier.
Wondering what the delivery actually looks like? Ckick to watch our short dumpster delivery video to see how our driver arrives, positions the dumpster, and safely sets it in place. It’s a quick way to know exactly what to expect when your Tri County Trash dumpster arrives!
Step Inside: Using the Dumpster’s Back Gate
One of the great features of our dumpsters is the swing-open door on the back. Instead of having to lift everything over the side, you can open the door and walk right into the dumpster to load your debris. This makes a big difference when you're hauling heavier items, furniture, boxes, or bulky materials.
Walking items in through the back also makes it much easier to spread your debris evenly and load the dumpster efficiently. Rather than creating one big pile near the front or side, you can work your way across the dumpster and make the most of the space you've rented.
Just remember to keep the load level with or below the top of the dumpster and never overload it. If you’re loading large or heavy items, take your time and use good lifting practices. The back door is there to make loading easier—so take advantage of it!
