Dumpster Size Guide: Choosing 10, 15, 20, 30 or 40 Yards

How yard sizes work

A cubic yard is a 3x3x3 foot cube. A 10 yard container holds about three pickup-truck loads; a 20 yard holds roughly six; a 40 yard can hold the debris from a full commercial gut.

Quick sizing chart

10 yard: concrete, dirt, small bathroom. 15 yard: garage cleanout, single-layer roof. 20 yard: kitchen remodel, flooring for a whole home. 30 yard: new construction, large additions. 40 yard: demolition and commercial cleanouts.

When in doubt, size up

Paying for a slightly larger box usually costs less than a second haul. Our team can help you choose by phone in a couple of minutes.
