15 Yard Dumpster Rental

The 15 yard dumpster is the most popular residential size we rent in Central Florida. It hits the sweet spot between capacity and footprint — enough room for a serious renovation, but compact enough to fit comfortably in a standard driveway alongside a parked vehicle.

Our 15 yard is $375 flat. That covers delivery, pickup, disposal, a 3-ton weight allowance, and a full 10 days of rental. No fuel surcharges, no environmental fees, no surprise add-ons at billing.

Most homeowners who call asking what size to rent end up in a 15 yard. It's the right answer for a kitchen remodel, a two-bath job, a 2-car garage cleanout, or a mid-size renovation. The 10 yard sometimes fills faster than expected; the 20 yard sometimes leaves you paying for capacity you didn't need.

Delivery is driveway-friendly with protective 2x10 boards under the contact rails — included at no extra charge. Same-day delivery is available throughout the Orlando metro when you book by mid-morning.

A 15 yard dumpster measures approximately 16 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 4 feet tall — about 5 standard pickup truck loads of debris.

Here's what fits comfortably in a 15 yard:

• Full kitchen demo — cabinets, countertops, tile backsplash, flooring, drywall, and old appliances
• Two bathroom renovations — vanities, tubs, tile surrounds, fixtures, and flooring
• 2-car garage cleanout — boxes, old furniture, broken tools, lawn equipment, general junk
• 2-3 bedroom home cleanout with mixed materials
• Partial roof tear-off or porch roof — shingles and underlayment
• Deck demolition — pressure-treated lumber from a 200-300 sq ft backyard deck
• Large landscaping project — limbs, sod, pavers, mixed yard debris
• Multi-room flooring replacement — tile, hardwood, laminate, carpet

To maximize the space, load flat items along the bottom first, then fill the gaps with smaller debris. Debris cannot extend above the top rim at pickup, so compact as you go.

The 15 yard is the workhorse of residential renovation. Here's where it shines:

Full Kitchen Remodel

A typical Orlando kitchen gut generates 1,500-2,500 pounds of mixed debris: cabinets, countertops, tile backsplash, flooring, drywall, and replaced appliances. A 15 yard handles all of this with room for the always-surprising amount of stuff hiding behind base cabinets.

Two-Bathroom Remodel

One bathroom often fits in a 10 yard, but two bathrooms — common in Orlando's mid-century ranches — pushes volume into 15 yard territory. Cast iron tubs alone take significant capacity. Vanities, tile surrounds, fixtures, and flooring from two baths add up quickly.

2-Car Garage Cleanout

A garage that hasn't been purged in 10-15 years surprises owners with the volume inside. Old paint, broken tools, abandoned hobby projects, bikes, patio furniture, and decades of forgotten boxes. The 15 yard handles a full 2-car garage without scheduling a second pickup.

Mid-Size Renovation

Combination projects — a kitchen plus dining area, or a primary bedroom plus ensuite bath — exceed a 10 yard but don't need the footprint of a 20 yard. The 15 yard is purpose-built for this middle tier.

Every 15 yard rental includes a 3-ton weight allowance (6,000 pounds) in the flat $375 price — a middle-ground capacity designed for the mixed-load nature of residential renovation debris.

What fits comfortably under the 3-ton limit:

• Full kitchen demo (typically 1,500-2,500 lbs)
• Two-bathroom gut (typically 2,000-3,500 lbs)
• 2-car garage cleanout (typically 1,000-2,500 lbs)
• Mid-size mixed renovation (typically 2,000-4,000 lbs)
• Backyard deck demo with some pavers (typically 2,500-4,000 lbs)

The 3-ton allowance makes the 15 yard a good fit for a mix of light and moderately heavy materials. Drywall, lumber, and household debris are light per cubic foot. Tile, brick, small amounts of concrete, and roofing shingles are denser — and the 15 yard handles reasonable amounts of these without overage.

For loads that are heavily concrete, dirt, or a full roof tear-off, the 10 yard with the same tonnage is often a better fit — heavy projects fill on weight before they fill on volume.

If your load comes in over 3 tons, the overage is $50 per ton, itemized on your invoice with the weight ticket from the disposal facility.

Picking the right size is the single biggest decision in a dumpster rental. Get it right and you'll fit everything in one bin with no overage fees. Get it wrong and you're either paying for a second rental or paying overage on the first. Here's how our four flat-rate sizes compare side by side, plus a project-to-size lookup and the one sizing rule almost every other rental company gets wrong.

Size Comparison Table

All prices include delivery, pickup, disposal, 10 days of rental, and the listed weight allowance. Overages: $50/ton and $25/day past day 10. No fuel surcharges, environmental fees, or hidden charges.

Pick by Project Type

If your project matches one of these examples, you have your size:

• Single bathroom remodel → 10 yard
• Roofing tear-off (single layer, average home) → 10 yard
• Single-car garage cleanout → 10 yard
• Concrete pad, driveway, or sidewalk removal → 10 yard (weight, not volume, will fill it)
• Kitchen remodel (cabinets + countertops + flooring) → 15 yard
• Two-bathroom remodel → 15 yard
• Two-car garage cleanout → 15 yard
• Mid-size landscaping or yard project → 15 yard
• Multi-room flooring tear-out → 20 yard
• Kitchen + bathroom combo remodel → 20 yard
• Partial home renovation (~1,500 sq ft) → 20 yard
• Whole-house cleanout or estate cleanout → 30 yard
• Hoarder cleanout → 30 yard
• Large construction project or major addition → 30 yard

Heavy Materials Rule — Different From Everything Else

For concrete, dirt, asphalt, tile, brick, or heavy roofing: always pick a 10 or 15 yard, regardless of how big your project is. Roll-off trucks have strict legal axle weight limits — typically about 22,000 lbs per axle group. A 30-yard dumpster filled with concrete would exceed legal road weight by 8,000+ pounds. The driver physically couldn't pick it up. You'd end up paying for a second container to transfer half the load.

The 10 and 15 yard sizes are matched to the truck's weight capacity, so a full one still gets hauled in a single trip. Most rental companies don't explain this and let customers over-rent. We tell you up front: heavy debris goes in 10 or 15 yard, full stop.

When to Size Up — and When Not To

Size up when you have bulky but lightweight debris (furniture, drywall, cardboard, yard waste, household goods), when you're not sure what's hiding in the attic or garage, or when your project scope is uncertain. One 20 yard at $425 is cheaper than two 10 yards at $650 — and avoids the second delivery wait.

Don't size up when you're working with heavy materials (see the rule above), or when your driveway has tight clearance. A 30 yard needs roughly 22 feet of length to set down, plus about 10 feet of vertical clearance for the truck arm to operate.

Still Not Sure Which Size?

If your project doesn't line up with anything above, send us a quick description of what you're tossing and we'll recommend a size and quote it on the spot. Same-day delivery is available across Orlando and Central Florida. If we deliver and the size turns out wrong, we'll swap it — most rental companies won't.

What's included when you book a 15 yard dumpster:

Flat $375 covers:

• Delivery to your Orlando metro address
• Pickup when you call, anytime in your 10-day window
• Disposal at a licensed facility
• 3 tons (6,000 lbs) of weight allowance
• 10 full days of rental, clock starting day of delivery
• Driveway-safe 2x10 protective boards
• Real-person phone support

Same-day delivery

Same-day delivery is available throughout the Orlando metro when you book by 10 AM. Bookings between 10 AM and 1 PM are sometimes accommodated depending on route capacity. After 2 PM, next-day is the realistic option.

10-day rental — why it matters

The Central Florida industry standard is 7 days. We include 10. That extra three days is calibrated to how residential projects actually run: weather delays don't trigger fees, supply runs don't push you into overage, and the contractor who shows up late doesn't cost you money.

Overage policy

Past day 10, extensions are $25 per day. Over 3 tons, overage is $50 per ton — itemized on your invoice with no markup or hidden processing fee. No fuel surcharges, no environmental fees, no weekend pickup premium. The flat $375 is the price.
