20 yard questions
Things people ask about this size.
Will a 20 yard fit in my driveway? +
Yes — it needs about 22 feet of straight clearance and 8 feet of width. Most Kansas City driveways take it comfortably. We do a sight-check before delivery.
How much does a 20 yard cost? +
Most 20 yards run $385–$485 flat-rate in Kansas City, including one week and disposal up to 4 tons. See pricing in Missouri.

Standard rental is one week. Extensions are $12/day. Need it picked up sooner? Just call — we can pull it whenever you're done.
