How to Choose the Right Dumpster Size

15, 20, or 30 yard? Here’s how to decide.

Quick Size Comparison

  • 15‑Yard: small cleanouts, yard debris, bathroom remodels.
  • 20‑Yard: kitchen remodels, roofing, medium renovations.
  • 30‑Yard: construction & demolition, whole‑home cleanouts.

How to Estimate Volume

Think in pickup truck loads: 15 yd ≈ 3–4 loads, 20 yd ≈ 4–6, 30 yd ≈ 6–8. When in doubt, size up to avoid a second haul.

Weight & Materials

Weight is billed after pickup at $55/ton. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, or shingles can add up quickly—call us if your project includes these.
