Choosing the right dumpster size saves you money and headaches. Here's how to pick between our two roll off dumpster sizes.
15-Yard Roll Off Dumpster
Dimensions: 16' long x 7.5' wide x 4.5' tall
Capacity: ~4-5 pickup truck loads or 75 trash bags
Price: $350
Best For:
- Garage and shed cleanouts
- Single bathroom renovations
- Kitchen or basement cleanouts
- Decluttering and downsizing
- Medium landscaping projects
- Moving cleanup
The 15-yard is our most popular size — handles the widest range of home projects and is our most affordable dumpster rental option.
20-Yard Roll Off Dumpster
Dimensions: 22' long x 7.5' wide x 4.5' tall
Capacity: ~6-8 pickup truck loads or 100 trash bags
Price: $400
Best For:
- Kitchen gut renovations
- Roof tear-offs and replacements

Quick Decision Guide
- Small to medium project (garage, bathroom, yard, single room): 15-yard ($350)
- Demolition, construction, or multiple rooms: 20-yard ($400)
When in doubt, go with the 20-yard. The $50 difference is nothing compared to the hassle of needing a second dumpster.
