Roll-Off Dumpster Sizes

Whether you’re tackling a major home renovation or just clearing out the garage, at some point, you might find yourself knee-deep in debris and in need of a dumpster. But how do you decide which size is right for you? This guide to roll-off dumpster sizes breaks down the options and offers tips to ensure you rent the perfect dumpster to keep your project running smoothly.

The Primary Dumpster Rental Sizes

Roadrunner’s dumpsters come in a range of capacities, from 15 to 20 cubic yards. But not just any option will work for your specific project, and knowing the size you need can set you up for a smooth cleanup.

• 15-yard dumpster: This option boasts about 4-5 pickup truck loads worth of space, making it great for small- to medium-sized projects.
• 20-yard dumpster: Ideal for moderate home and commercial projects, it offers a larger capacity at 20 cubic yards (or 6-8 pickup truck loads).

For projects like roofing, where the material may be particularly heavy, you can opt for a smaller container with more frequent pickups to adhere to weight restrictions.

Estimating the Right Roll-Off Dumpster Size

An important factor when deciding on the size of your dumpster is the scale of your project. Here are a few rules of thumb to help you gauge the necessary capacity:

• A 15-yard dumpster is best for small kitchen or bath renovations, one-car garage cleanouts, small basement cleanouts, and flooring projects.
• If you’re doing a full-home remodel or commercial project, you’re likely looking at a 20-yard dumpster. This option is great for larger kitchen or multiple bath renovations, two-car garage cleanouts, and larger basement cleanouts and flooring projects.

Remember to also consider duration; a smaller dumpster might need emptying more frequently if you’re working on an ongoing project. Here at Roadrunner Dumpsters, we will work with you to help estimate what size dumpster will be best for your specific project.

Final Considerations

In addition to dumpster rental size and capacity, consider the logistics of placing a dumpster on your property. Ensure there is enough space for the container and easy access for disposal. Check with your local municipal regulations to see if a permit is required and also inquire about weight restrictions.
