Of course, the size you'll need for your home project depends on the project and amount of waste. For small remodeling projects, like a bathroom, you'll probably be fine renting a 6 or 10 yard dumpster. Obviously, for larger remodeling projects like kitchens and basements, you'll want a 15 or 20 yard container. For household moving sizes can also vary but the most commonly used dumpster for this is a 20 Yard bin.
Sometimes, weight and density of the waste will dictate what dumpster size you'll need. If you're undergoing a roofing project, you'll need to rent a 10 yard bin or a 15 yard because many bin trucks can't lift a 20 yard dumpster full of shingles.
