Medium Dumpster Rental Orlando

Our medium dumpster rentals — the 15-yard and 20-yard — are the most frequently ordered sizes in Orlando. They hit the sweet spot between having enough capacity for serious projects and still fitting comfortably in a residential driveway.

The 20-yard dumpster in particular is our most popular size overall. It handles the majority of home renovation projects, full-room remodels, and moderate construction jobs without the cost of a large container. If you’re unsure what size you need, the 20-yard is almost always the right call.

Both medium sizes are driveway-friendly with protective board placement included. They accommodate multi-day projects with our standard 10-day rental period, giving you time to work at your own pace without rush fees.

15-Yard Dumpster — Starting at $325

The step up from our small dumpsters, ideal for:

• Full kitchen remodel (cabinets, countertops, flooring, drywall)
• Roof tear-off on a single-layer ranch or small structure
• Whole-house cleanout for a small to mid-size home
• Deck or patio demolition (up to ~200 sq ft)
• Flooring replacement across multiple rooms
• Large landscaping project with mixed debris

The 15-yard measures approximately 14 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall. It holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads — enough for most single-trade renovation projects.

20-Yard Dumpster — Starting at $350

Our most popular size and the go-to for serious home projects:

• Major kitchen or bathroom gut renovation
• Multi-layer roof tear-off on a standard home
• Whole-house cleanout for a full-size home or estate
• Large deck demolition (200-400 sq ft)
• Garage conversion or addition demolition
• Storm damage cleanup with mixed debris
• Complete flooring replacement throughout a home

The 20-yard measures approximately 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall. It holds about 6 pickup truck loads — the capacity sweet spot for most Orlando renovation projects.

Over half of our Orlando residential orders are for the 20-yard dumpster. Here’s why it dominates:

• Capacity without overkill — It handles full renovations, multi-room cleanouts, and roof jobs without the footprint or cost of a 30-yard container
• Price-to-capacity ratio — At $350, you get 33% more capacity than a 15-yard for just $25 more. That math makes the 20-yard the best value in our lineup
• Still driveway-friendly — At 22 feet long, it fits in most Orlando driveways while leaving room for a vehicle
• Contractor approved — Roofers, remodelers, and general contractors consistently choose the 20-yard for residential jobs because it handles a full project without needing a swap

When in doubt, go with the 20. It’s rare that an Orlando homeowner regrets having the extra capacity.

Orlando’s housing stock — from 1960s ranch homes in Conway to 1990s builds in Hunters Creek — generates consistent renovation demand. Medium dumpsters are the workhorses of these projects:

Kitchen Remodels: A typical Orlando kitchen gut produces 1,500-2,500 lbs of debris including cabinets, countertops, tile backsplash, flooring, drywall, and old appliances. A 15-yard handles a straightforward remodel; choose the 20-yard if you’re also replacing flooring in adjacent rooms.

Roof Tear-Offs: A single-layer tear-off on a standard Orlando ranch (1,500-2,000 sq ft) generates approximately 3-4 tons of shingles and underlayment. The 20-yard is the standard contractor choice for this job. Multi-layer roofs or larger homes should consider our 30-yard option.

Whole-House Cleanouts: Estate cleanouts, pre-sale cleanups, and downsizing projects vary widely. A 15-yard handles a 2-bedroom home; the 20-yard covers a 3-4 bedroom house with garage contents.

Deck and Patio Demolition: Pressure-treated lumber from a standard Orlando backyard deck (200-300 sq ft) fits comfortably in a 15-yard. Larger structures or composite decking may need the 20-yard.

A few practical details that help Orlando homeowners get the most from their medium dumpster rental:

• Weight limits apply — Both the 15 and 20-yard include up to 2 tons of weight in the base price. Most renovation debris stays well under this limit. For heavy materials like concrete, tile, or dirt, consider our small dumpster options sized specifically for heavy loads
• Fill level matters — Debris cannot extend above the top edge. Pack flat items along the bottom and fill gaps with smaller debris to maximize space
• 10-day rental included — Most medium-sized renovation projects complete within this window. Extensions available at $35/day
• Same-day delivery — Order by noon for same-day delivery in the Orlando metro area
• Placement flexibility — We can place medium dumpsters on driveways, parking pads, or street-adjacent areas with permit where required
