From a compact 10 yard for heavy debris to a 30 yard for whole-house cleanouts, we've got the right size for your project. Here's how they compare — and how to choose.
Remember: the right size depends on both the volume and the weight of your debris. Heavy material like concrete needs a smaller bin than you'd think.
| Size | Dimensions | Holds | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 14 ft L × 8 ft W × 3.5 ft H | ~3 pickup-truck loads | Single bathroom remodels, small garage or shed cleanouts |
| 15 Yard | 16 ft L × 8 ft W × 4 ft H | ~4–5 pickup-truck loads | Roofing tear-offs (single layer), large room remodels |
| 20 Yard | 22 ft L × 8 ft W × 4.5 ft H | ~6 pickup-truck loads | Basement remodels and finishes, whole-room gut renovations |
| 30 Yard | 22 ft L × 8 ft W × 6 ft H | ~9 pickup-truck loads | Whole-house and estate cleanouts, large multi-room renovations |

Most people size a dumpster by volume alone — how much space their junk takes up. That works for light debris like furniture, boxes, and general clutter, where you'll fill the bin before weight is ever a concern. Size up when in doubt.
But some materials flip the equation. Concrete, dirt, roofing shingles, tile, and plaster are dense enough to hit the container's weight limit while it still looks half empty. For those, a smaller bin loaded within its weight allowance is the right — and cheaper — call. Our blog digs into heavy debris and sizing by project in detail.
