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.
