| Project Type | Common Debris | Why 20-Yard Works |
|---|---|---|
| Whole-Home Cleanouts | Furniture, bags, mixed junk | Fits bulky items + lots of bags |
| Renovations (Multi-Room) | Drywall, wood, cabinets, flooring | Ample volume + easy side access |
| Roofing (up to ~50 squares) | Shingles & underlayment | Capacity + weight headroom |
| Large Landscaping | Branches, shrubs, green waste | Height makes loading efficient |
| Light Demolition | Framing, doors, windows | Handles mixed waste well |
Heavier debris?
If more than half the load is tile, concrete, plaster, or dirt —
