15-Yard Dumpster Rental Beloit | Best Remodeling Bin Size

July 07, 20262 min read

When people call us to rent their first dumpster, they usually ask for one of two sizes. They either want the tiny 10-yard bin or the really popular 20-yard bin. But there is a size right in the middle that is usually the best choice for homeowners: the 15-yard dumpster.

If you are worried the small size will fill up too fast, but you really don't want a massive metal box taking up your whole driveway, the 15-yard bin is the perfect middle ground.

What Actually Fits Inside?

To give you an idea of the size, this dumpster holds about five pickup truck loads of trash. It is made for medium-sized projects around the house. When your trash is too bulky for regular garbage bags, but you don't quite need a massive construction bin, this is the one to get.

It works great for projects like:

  • Gutting a bathroom: Remodeling a bathroom makes a weird amount of trash. This bin easily holds an old tub, a toilet, the bathroom vanity, and all those heavy broken floor tiles. The same logic applies to kitchens—see managing remodel debris day by day.

  • Tearing off a roof: Roofing shingles are incredibly heavy. A 15-yard dumpster is just the right size for a normal roof replacement. It holds all the old shingles without letting the bin get so heavy that our truck can't lift it safely. Our complete roofing dumpster guide shows how to calculate shingle weight by roofing squares.

  • Moving out: If you are packing up a house you've lived in for years, you are going to find a lot of junk. This size gives you plenty of room to toss out old plastic storage bins, ruined clothes, and broken lawn chairs.

This size costs $450 to rent, and that price covers up to 2 tons of weight.

The best thing about the 15-yard bin is how it is built. The side walls are nice and low. That means you can easily walk right up to it and throw heavy garbage bags over the edge without hurting your shoulders. Plus, it fits easily in a normal driveway, so you still have room to park your car and get into your garage.
