The 15 yard handles most single projects around the house. It's tall enough for bulky items, short enough to load comfortably, and its weight allowance covers a typical one-layer roof.
What a 15 yard is good for
- A kitchen remodel
- Roof tear-offs (one layer of shingles)
- Garage, attic or basement cleanouts
- Replacing a deck
- Some furniture along with remodeling debris
Not the best fit: Clearing a whole house or gutting several rooms? You'll likely fill a 15 yard before you're done, so go with the 20.

15 yard dumpster questions
How much does a 15 yard dumpster hold?
Fifteen cubic yards, or roughly 7 to 9 pickup truck loads: enough for a kitchen remodel or a packed two-car garage.
Is a 15 yard good for roofing?
Yes, for most single-layer roofs. Shingles are heavy, so tell us your squares and layers and we'll check the weight before you order.
What if I go over the weight limit?
Each size includes a weight allowance (1.5 tons for a 10 yard, 2 tons for a 15 yard, 3 tons for a 20 yard). Weight over that is $225 per ton, billed by the pound, so a little over costs a little.
What if I need it longer than two weeks?
Keep it as long as you need. Each day past two weeks is $10. Call when you're ready for pickup.
Can I fill it above the top?
No. Debris has to stay level with the top edge so the load can be covered and hauled safely.
