Is a 15-Yard the Right Size?

A 15-yard is right for

  • A full room or a couple of rooms cleared out
  • Flooring and carpet tear-out
  • A small deck or shed torn down

A 15-yard is wrong for

  • A new build
  • A big estate cleanout
  • Heavy demolition debris across an entire house

What a 15-Yard Dumpster Is Really For

The 15-yard covers the jobs that outgrow a 10 without needing a full-size dumpster: a couple of rooms cleared out, a flooring and carpet tear-out, a small deck or shed coming down. Flooring runs heavier than people expect, and the 15 carries 1.5 tons, which can typically handle it.

It keeps the same 8-foot width and low 4.5-foot walls as the 10, so it still sits on a normal driveway and still loads over the side.

Will a 15-Yard Fit in My Driveway?

At 14 feet the 15 still fits a normal driveway with the garage left usable. The walls run 4 and a half feet, low enough to lift over, and the footprint is the same 8 feet wide as every size we carry.

What Fills a 15-Yard Before the Weight Does

With a ton and a half included, a flooring tear-out or a room of demo almost always comes in under. Tile and plaster are the heavy ones. If your load has a lot of either, call and we'll tell you which size keeps you under the limit.

15-Yard Dumpster Questions

What people ask us before they book. The full FAQ has the rest.

What are the dimensions of a 15-yard dumpster?

The 15-yard is 14 ft long, 8 ft wide, 4.5 ft tall. It holds about 6 pickup truck loads and includes 1.5 tons of weight.

What fits in a 15-yard dumpster?

The 15-yard is right for a full room or a couple of rooms cleared out. If you're between sizes, go up one, it beats filling this one and renting twice.

How much does a 15-yard dumpster cost in Columbia?

Pricing is exact rather than posted. The booking page shows the 15-yard number for your job, or call (803) 408-9990.

How long do I get the 15-yard for?

14 days on every rental. A flooring tear-out or a two-room cleanout is usually done inside a weekend, so the 15-yard rarely needs more. If your job runs long, call and we'll sort out extra days.

Where do you deliver 15-yard dumpsters?

Everywhere we run: Columbia, the Midlands, and out to Sumter, Florence, Aiken, and Greenville. No size is limited to certain towns. See the service areas.

Will a 15-yard dumpster fit in my driveway?

Almost always. At 14 ft long it's one of the easiest sizes to place, and the low walls make it easy to load over the side too.

Can I put concrete or dirt in a 15-yard?

Yes. Heavy material like concrete and dirt goes in a smaller dumpster at its own rate, and the 15-yard is in that range, so mention it on the phone and we'll set it up as a weight-rate rental.
