Side-by-Side Size Comparison

All three of our roll-off containers share a driveway-friendly 7-foot width and include drop-off, pickup, and disposal in one flat rate.

Size Dimensions Capacity Included Weight Best For
11 Yard 12'L x 7'W x 4'H 4 to 5 pickup loads 1 Ton (2,000 lbs) Garage cleanouts, small bath remodels, yard cleanup
15 Yard 16'L x 7'W x 4'H 6 to 7 pickup loads 1.5 Tons (3,000 lbs) Kitchen remodels, flooring tear-outs, moving cleanouts
20 Yard 16'L x 7'W x 5'H 8 to 10 pickup loads 2 Tons (4,000 lbs) Whole-home cleanouts, estates, roofing, large renovations

When to Choose the 11 Yard Dumpster ($350)

If you have been searching for a 10-yard dumpster, our 11 Yard Dumpster gives you an extra cubic yard of space while still fitting easily in shorter residential driveways (only 12 feet long). Choose the 11 yard for:

  • Single-car or two-car garage cleanouts
  • Small bathroom vanity and tile tear-outs
  • Attic decluttering or seasonal yard debris

When to Choose the 15 Yard Dumpster ($375 to $400)

The 15 Yard Dumpster is our most popular mid-size option. It has the same 4-foot wall height as the 11 yard for easy loading over the sides, but stretches to 16 feet long and includes 1.5 tons of weight. Choose the 15 yard for:

  • Kitchen or multi-room remodeling projects
  • Carpet, hardwood, or tile removal across multiple rooms
  • Pre-move decluttering and bulky furniture disposal

When to Choose the 20 Yard Dumpster ($400 to $525)

The 20 Yard Dumpster uses the exact same 16'L x 7'W driveway footprint as the 15 yard, but adds an extra foot of height (5-foot walls) and includes 2 full tons of disposal weight. Available for 3, 7, or 14 days, it is built for:

  • Whole-home and estate cleanouts
  • Large construction, framing, and deck demolition
  • Multi-week contractor or renovation projects
Between Two Sizes? Stepping up from an 11-yard to a 15-yard or from a 15-yard to a 20-yard only adds $25 and includes an extra 1,000 lbs of weight allowance, which is much cheaper than ordering a second haul.
