Dumpster rental guide

Choosing a 15 or 20 Yard Dumpster

Start with the material list, then compare the space and weight your project needs.

What changes with the size?

A 20 yard dumpster offers 5 more cubic yards of nominal volume than a 15 yard. The right choice also depends on the weight and shape of what you load.

Smaller cleanout or bathroom remodel

Consider 15 yards for a more contained project. List furniture and other bulky items separately from bagged material so you can explain what needs to fit.

Larger renovation or estate cleanout

Consider 20 yards when clearing more rooms or removing a larger volume of material. Space needs can grow when cabinets, furniture or awkwardly shaped debris are part of the load.

Roofing or heavy debris

Ask about the load before selecting either size. More volume does not make a container suitable for every heavy material, and excess weight can add charges.

Compare current rental details

Check the price, included weight, rental period and overage for each size. The booking quote updates for your dates and requested items.

Three questions before choosing

  1. What is coming out? List the rooms, bulky items and remodeling materials rather than guessing from the project name alone.
  2. Does anything need separate handling? Review what cannot go in a dumpster before counting those items as part of the load.
  3. Where will it go? Describe the placement area and truck access. Confirm exact dimensions with the team when space is limited.

If you are between sizes, call or text with that information. We can review your project before you send the rental request.
