Choose a Dumpster by Project
Cleanouts and Moving
Use a 15 yard for furniture and a single-room cleanout, a 20 yard for several rooms, and a 30 yard for larger home and estate cleanouts.
Remodeling and Demolition
A 15 yard works for a bathroom remodel. Move to a 20 yard for a kitchen or several rooms, and choose a 30 yard for a major renovation or demolition project.
Roofing
Choose a 15 yard for many single-layer tear-offs and a 20 yard for larger roofs or projects with other debris. Shingles can reach the weight limit before the container looks full.
Concrete, Dirt, and Brick
Dense material needs a dedicated plan. Use a compact container and confirm the allowed fill level and weight rate before loading. See our concrete dumpster options.
Dumpster Size FAQ
What size dumpster do I need for a home cleanout?
A 15 yard dumpster works for a garage, a single room, or a smaller cleanout. Choose a 20 yard for several rooms or a 2-3 bedroom home, and use a 30 yard for a whole-home cleanout with bulky furniture.
What size dumpster is best for a renovation?
A 15 yard is a practical choice for a bathroom remodel. A 20 yard gives most kitchen remodels and multi-room flooring projects enough room. Choose a 30 yard for major multi-room demolition or construction debris.
What dumpster size do I need for roofing?
A 15 yard dumpster suits many single-layer residential tear-offs. Choose a 20 yard for a larger roof, multiple layers, or a project with other debris. Shingles are heavy, so confirm the included weight before loading.
How much space do I need for a dumpster?
Plan for the container length plus room for the truck to place and remove it. Clear parked vehicles, branches, and overhead wires. Tell us about a tight driveway or street placement when you request a quote.
Standard starting rates include delivery, pickup, 7 days, and 1–2 tons of weight. Additional weight is $55/ton and extra days are $25/day.
