What fits in a 15 yard dumpster
About 4 to 5 pickup truck loads. That covers a two-car garage cleanout, a full basement, roughly 1,500 square feet of carpet and pad, a mid-size deck removal, or a large yard clearing project.
The extra 6 inches of height over a 10 yard adds real capacity without making the walls hard to load over. For most homeowners doing a decluttering project, this is the container that gets the job done in one pull.
When to size up instead
If you are clearing an entire house rather than one level of it, or the garage has been accumulating for twenty years, go to a 20 yard. Sizing up one step costs far less than a second delivery.
Space you need
About 60 feet of straight approach, 10.5 feet of width, and 22 feet of overhead clearance. The 16 foot box fits a standard two-car driveway with room to walk around it.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a 15 yard dumpster cost in Johnson City?
Quoted per project. The 15 yard is a volume-driven rental. garage and basement debris is bulky and light, so most loads stay inside the weight allowance and the price is driven by size and rental window rather than tonnage. The six variables behind every quote.
Is a 15 yard dumpster big enough for a garage cleanout?
For most two-car garages, yes. Garage debris is bulky but light, so you will hit the volume limit before the weight limit. Break down shelving and boxes as you load and a 15 yard handles it.
What is the difference between a 15 and a 20 yard?
The 20 yard is 6 feet longer and 6 inches taller, holds about 2 more pickup loads, and includes roughly a ton more disposal weight. For roofing and kitchen remodels, take the 20. For garage and basement cleanouts, the 15 is usually enough.
