Dumpster Sizes Compared: 15 & 20-Yard Roll Off Guide - McDumpsters

Choosing the right dumpster size saves you money and headaches. Here's how to pick between our two roll off dumpster sizes.

15-Yard Roll Off Dumpster

Dimensions: 16' long x 7.5' wide x 4.5' tall

Capacity: ~4-5 pickup truck loads or 75 trash bags

Price: $350

Best For:

  • Garage and shed cleanouts
  • Single bathroom renovations
  • Kitchen or basement cleanouts
  • Decluttering and downsizing
  • Medium landscaping projects
  • Moving cleanup

The 15-yard is our most popular size — handles the widest range of home projects and is our most affordable dumpster rental option.

20-Yard Roll Off Dumpster

Dimensions: 22' long x 7.5' wide x 4.5' tall

Capacity: ~6-8 pickup truck loads or 100 trash bags

Price: $400

Best For:

  • Kitchen gut renovations
  • Roof tear-offs and replacements
  • Multi-room renovations
  • Estate and whole-house cleanouts
  • Construction debris
  • Deck demolition

Quick Decision Guide

  • Small to medium project (garage, bathroom, yard, single room): 15-yard ($350)
  • Demolition, construction, or multiple rooms: 20-yard ($400)

When in doubt, go with the 20-yard. The $50 difference is nothing compared to the hassle of needing a second dumpster.
