Selecting the perfect dumpster size for your home renovation project can be difficult for homeowners. Pick one that is too small, and it will have to make several trips; choose one that’s too big and you are potentially wasting your money.

The dumpster rental services you are working with should be able to guide you on picking the right one with just enough room for all the waste and debris you need to get rid of. They should have the experience to help you precisely predict the exact size you need, just by inquiring the type of project you are undertaking, and area size.

Cubic yards are used to measure dumpsters. For example, a 10 yard dumpster can hold 10 cubic yards of trash.

Typical dumpster sizes are:

ü  10 yards

ü  15 yards

ü  20 yards

ü  30 yards

ü  40 yards

Generally, for all small to medium scale home renovation projects, the first two sizes are more than enough:

 

1.     10 Yard Dumpsters

Approximate Size: 12’ long x 8’ wide x 4’ high

All home dumpster services should have one of these in their arsenal. It might be the smallest size available, but with the ability to hold 10 cubic yards of trash; this dumpster will be quite challenging to fill up. Rent this one if you are undertaking any of the following projects:

• Small garage clean up
• Small basement clean up
• 250-300 sq. ft deck or patio removal
• 1500 sq. ft  single shingle roof removal

• Small kitchen/bath remodeling project

2.     15 Yard Dumpsters

Approximate Size: 12' long x 8' wide x 5.5' high

When it comes to medium to large sized renovation and home cleanup projects, the 15 yard dumpster should be a good enough fit.

This size is a favorite for homeowners, and contractors who are expecting more waste than usual from a home-based project. These dumpster are typically called for during the following projects:  

• Large/Medium size garage and basement clean-ups
• Yard clean-ups
• Basement and kitchen remodeling for a medium-sized house

• 300-400 sq. ft deck and patio removal
