Dumpster Rental 101: What Size Do You Need?

Don't overpay for air or get stuck with a bin that's too small. A guide to choosing the right roll-off for your project.

Choosing the right dumpster size is the first step to a successful cleanout. Too small, and you’re paying for a second haul. Too big, and you’ve wasted money on air.

At Apex, our standard 15-yard and 20-yard dumpsters are designed to fit perfectly in a residential driveway while holding a massive amount of debris. A 15-yard dumpster holds roughly 6 pickup truck loads of waste. This is perfect for a medium kitchen remodel, a basement cleanout, or re-shingling a moderate roof.

Weight Matters

It’s not just about volume; it’s about weight. Dense materials like plaster or hardwood flooring add up fast. Our flat-rate includes up to 4 tons, which is generous for general debris. If you are disposing of specialized heavy items, let us know beforehand.
