Dumpster Rental Sizes: Which One Is Right for Your Project?
Choosing the right size for your dumpster rental depends on the scope and type of project you’re working on. Below, we’ll break down the most common dumpster sizes available at Disposal Pro Haul Away Services and provide guidance on which size might best suit your needs.
Common Dumpster Sizes
At Disposal Pro Haul Away Services, we offer a range of dumpster sizes to handle any type of project. Our most popular sizes include:
10-yard dumpsters
13-yard dumpsters
15-yard dumpsters
20-yard dumpsters
30-yard dumpsters
10-Yard Dumpster: Perfect for Small Projects
The 10-yard dumpster is the smallest size we offer and is ideal for small-scale projects. It’s compact, easy to place, and still holds a considerable amount of debris. A 10-yard dumpster can typically hold about 3 pickup truck loads of material. This size is perfect for:
Small basement or garage cleanouts
Minor home renovation projects
Yard waste disposal
Light household debris
A 10-yard dumpster is an excellent choice for homeowners looking to clean out a cluttered space or complete a small home project without requiring a large dumpster taking up too much room.
13-Yard Dumpster: A Great Option for Medium-Sized Cleanouts
The 13-yard dumpster is slightly larger than the 10-yard option and offers extra capacity for medium-sized projects. It’s versatile and suitable for a variety of tasks such as:
Medium-sized home renovations
Yard cleanups involving small trees, shrubs, and branches
Removing old flooring or carpet
Clearing out a room or two of unwanted furniture and junk
The 13-yard dumpster provides a bit more room while still maintaining a compact footprint, making it a popular choice for medium-sized jobs.
15-Yard Dumpster: Ideal for Moderate-Scale Jobs
The 15-yard dumpster is a step up in size, giving you even more room for debris from moderate projects. This dumpster size holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads of waste and is ideal for:
Moderate home renovations like kitchen or bathroom remodels
Removing large amounts of yard waste
Cleaning out an attic or basement
Disposal of large furniture pieces like sofas, dressers, or mattresses
This size dumpster offers the perfect balance of capacity without taking up too much space in your driveway or yard.
20-Yard Dumpster: Best for Larger Home Projects
A 20-yard dumpster is commonly used for larger-scale home improvement projects or bigger cleanouts. This dumpster holds about 6 pickup truck loads of material and is suitable for:
Larger home renovations like entire room remodels
Major yard cleanups and landscaping projects
Deck or shed demolition
Roof shingle removal
If you’re working on a sizable project with plenty of debris, the 20-yard dumpster provides ample space to keep your job site clean and efficient.
30-Yard Dumpster: Ideal for Large-Scale Projects
The 30-yard dumpster is the largest size we offer and is best suited for large-scale construction or renovation projects. It holds approximately 9 pickup truck loads of material and is perfect for:
Major home additions or renovations
Large construction projects
Commercial cleanouts
Major landscaping or tree removal jobs
The 30-yard dumpster is a workhorse, designed to handle substantial debris and waste from the biggest projects. It’s ideal for contractors or homeowners tackling major renovations that produce a lot of debris.
How to Choose the Right Size Dumpster for Your Project
Now that you know the different sizes we offer, let’s walk through how to determine which size dumpster is right for your project.
Assess the Scope of Your Project
The first step in choosing a dumpster size is to evaluate the scope of your project. Consider the type and amount of debris you’ll be dealing with. For example, if you’re simply cleaning out your garage or attic, a smaller 10-yard or 13-yard dumpster may be sufficient. However, if you’re undertaking a larger project like a home renovation or major landscaping job, you’ll likely need a 20-yard or 30-yard dumpster.
Estimate the Volume of Waste
To avoid renting a dumpster that’s too small or too large, it’s helpful to estimate the volume of waste your project will generate. Think about how much junk or debris will need to be disposed of and how large the items are. For example, if your project involves removing bulky furniture or construction materials, a larger dumpster may be necessary.
Consider the Space Available
Another factor to consider is the amount of space available for the dumpster. If you have limited space on your property or in your driveway, a smaller dumpster may be more practical. A 10-yard or 13-yard dumpster can fit in tighter spaces, while a 30-yard dumpster requires more room.
