What Size Dumpster Do I Need for a Home Cleanout?

If you’re planning a home cleanout, one of the first questions that comes up is: what size dumpster do I need for a home cleanout? The right choice depends on the size of your project, the type of items you’re getting rid of, and how quickly you want the job done. At redbox+ Dumpsters of Central New Jersey, we keep it simple with two practical options: 20-yard and 30-yard dumpsters.

Why the Right Size Matters

Choosing the right dumpster ensures:

  • Efficiency – No running out of space mid-project.

  • Cost savings – Avoid paying for extra dumpsters or unused space.

  • Convenience – The right fit for your driveway and your project.

Dumpster Sizes We Offer

Here’s a breakdown of the dumpsters available from redbox+ Dumpsters of Central New Jersey and how they work best for home cleanouts:

Dumpster Size What It Fits Best Ideal For
20-Yard Dumpster Holds about 6 pickup truck loads of debris. Great for single-room cleanouts, garage cleanouts, or moderate basement projects.
30-Yard Dumpster Holds about 9 pickup truck loads. Perfect for multi-room cleanouts, larger basements, or whole-home cleanouts with bulky furniture.

Which Size Should You Choose?

  • Smaller projects like cleaning out a garage, attic, or basement = 20-yard dumpster

  • Bigger projects like whole-home cleanouts or multiple rooms = 30-yard dumpster
