The most common dumpster sizes are the following:
10-yard dumpster: If you have a small attic or garage to clean out, a 10-yard dumpster is a good candidate for the job. This size dumpster is also good for a small remodel and yard debris.
15-yard dumpster: If you have a larger project that requires the removal of heavy, bulky debris, consider a 15-yard dumpster. A dumpster this size can fit anywhere from 80 to 100 33-gallon trash bags, or 2,000 to 4,000 pounds. If you’re replacing a roof, doing a large home cleanout or taking on a bigger construction project, a 15-yard dumpster might be a good choice.
20-yard dumpster: If you have a big junk removal project and want to be on the safe side, this size dumpster could make sense for you.
30- to 40-yard dumpster: These are large dumpsters suited for full-home renovations.
