So you decided that you are going to have a project completed on your house and now you need to get a dumpster rental to keep your job site clean and improve the overall construction experience. What size of dumpster do you need? Choosing a dumpster size can be a bit tricky if you are unsure on the amount of trash that your project will create.

Let’s take a look at some general guidelines that will help you choose the right dumpster size for your project.

Small Project

Recommended Dumpster Size: 15 yard Roll-Off Dumpster or 15 Yard Specialty Dumpster

If you are having a small project completed on your home like a bathroom remodel or new cabinets installed you will most likely be fine with a 15 yard dumpster.

15 yard dumpsters give you plenty of room for large items while also being small enough to easily fit in most driveways.

Most one room project, unless it’s a particularly big room, will usually be fine with a 15 yard dumpster.

Medium Project

Recommended Dumpster Size: 20 yard Roll-Off Dumpster or 25 Yard Specialty Dumpster

For more medium sized projects like full kitchen remodels, master bedroom & bath remodels, & small to medium sized roofing projects a 20 yard roll off dumpster or 25 yard specialty dumpster will be with correct size.

20 Yard dumpsters will fit in most driveways and give homeowners 33% more room than a 15 yard dumpster.

Large Projects

Recommended Dumpster Size: 30 yard Roll-Off Dumpster or 25 Yard Specialty Dumpster

For larger projects like major remodels, whole home construction, & home additions we recommend that people get a 30 yard roll off dumpster rental.

This is the biggest dumpster that we offer and it provides homeowners and builders with the sufficient room needed to dispose of larger items.

30 yard dumpster rentals also allow you to put more debris and building materials in them before needing to have them swapped.
