Is a 15-Yard Dumpster Right for My Project?
A 15-yard dumpster holds roughly 15 cubic yards of debris — about 4–5 pickup-truck loads or 80–100 standard 33-gallon bags.
It’s taller than our 10-yard bin but smaller than a 20-yard, making it ideal when you need “more than small, less than huge.”
16′ L × 7.5′ W × 4.5′ H
Standard weight allowance:
about 2–3 tons (depends on debris and service area)
Driveway-friendly:
fits most Scranton driveways without blocking garage access.
Is a 15-Yard Dumpster Right for My Project?
Choose a 15-yard if you want a dumpster that can handle a full cleanup without wasting paid-for space.
Pro tip:
If most of your debris is dense (tile, plaster, concrete), the 10-yard may save you money on weight overages.
If it’s bulky furniture or multi-room debris, a 20-yard might be better.
15-Yard vs. Other Sizes
Smaller? Choose a 10-yard for heavy debris or limited access.
Bigger? Go with a 20-yard for larger remodels or roofing up to ~50 squares.
Need serious capacity? Try our 30-yard or 40-yard options.

Weight & Loading Guidance (Avoid Overage Fees)
- Plan by weight, not just volume. Flooring, tile, plaster, and wet debris add tons fast.
- Load evenly. Keep weight balanced front-to-back and side-to-side.
- Stay below the fill line. Nothing above the top rail — lids and tarps must close.
- Heavy-material rule: if over half your load is dense (tile/concrete), call us — a smaller bin may be more cost-effective.
We can estimate weight for shingles, flooring, or yard debris by phone — saving you money on overages.
