How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Lancaster?

Baltimore, MD is 54 mi south of Lancaster. Target it only if your trucks run there routinely, and give it a separate campaign with its own budget.
Which keywords should a Lancaster roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental lancaster", "roll off dumpster lancaster pa", "20 yard dumpster lancaster" and "construction dumpster lancaster", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
