What fits in a 15-yard dumpster?
A 15-yard dumpster holds about 5 to 7 pickup-truck loads of debris. We recommend the 15-yard dumpster most for garage cleanouts and small roof replacements. Weight still matters, so keep the 2.5-ton limit in mind as you load. Typical jobs that fit:
- A two-car garage cleanout
- A small roof tear-off (see the shingle weight math below)
- A larger bathroom remodel or a small flooring job
- A larger concrete, dirt or brick job, loaded halfway
These are typical examples. Bulky items take more room than you expect, so describe your job when you call.
How many roof squares fit in a 15-yard dumpster?
About 20 squares of one-layer asphalt shingles stay under the 15-yard dumpster's 2.5-ton limit, if your shingles weigh about 240 pounds per square. Check the weight on your own bundle wrapper, because shingle weights vary by brand and style.
Example: 80 lb per bundle × 3 bundles per square = 240 lb per square. 20 squares × 240 lb = 4,800 lb, just under the 5,000 lb (2.5 tons) included.
Is the 15-yard the right size, or should I go bigger?
If you expect to fill the 15-yard dumpster past the top rim, move up to the 20-yard dumpster; a second haul is billed as a whole new rental. If your job is small, the 10-yard dumpster saves space on your driveway.

15-yard dumpster questions
Will a 15-yard dumpster hold a two-car garage cleanout?
Most two-car garage cleanouts fit in a 15-yard dumpster. If the garage is packed to the ceiling, or you are clearing the attic too, a 20-yard dumpster is the safer choice.
Can I put concrete in a 15-yard dumpster?
Yes. The 15-yard dumpster is one of our two heavy-debris sizes. Concrete, dirt, brick and sand can be loaded halfway up the walls.
How many pickup loads fit in a 15-yard dumpster?
About 5 to 7 pickup loads, assuming an 8-foot pickup bed loaded level holds 2 to 3 cubic yards.
Is a 15-yard dumpster narrower than the others?
Yes, slightly. It is 7.5 feet wide instead of 8, and 16 feet long, which helps on tighter driveways.
