Top 5 Projects That Are Perfect for a Small Roll-Off Dumpster

At redbox+ Dumpsters®, we know that navigating dumpster sizes can be daunting for anyone. Should you get a small roll-off dumpster, or would a larger bin be more suitable? Our team can always help you weigh your options and find the right bin for your needs, whether that’s a driveway-friendly dumpster rental or an Elite container. Today, we’ll take a deep dive into our smallest option: a Mini dumpster rental. 

A Mini bin is an incredibly compact dumpster, with options for 10-yard and 15-yard waste capacities. It’s perfect for small spaces, like back alleys, narrow driveways, or worksites where space is at a premium. For example, our 10-yard Mini carries the same volume as our Standard 10-yard bin, but it’s six feet shorter! 

So, what kinds of projects would benefit from a small roll-off dumpster? Let’s take a look at some. 

5 Most Popular Projects for Small Roll-off Dumpster Rental

1. You’re Cleaning Out the Garage.  

Even small areas of your home can generate enough waste for a dumpster. That’s especially true for garage cleanouts, where you may be contending with bulky lawn equipment, old tools, and other unwieldy items that require easy disposal. Our compact Mini dumpster rentals can handle as much as 4.5 pickup truck loads worth of trash (for the 15-yard container), making them great for this type of project. 

2. You’re Tackling DIY Home Improvement. 

If you’re doing home maintenance, you need a place to put all your waste. A small roll-off dumpster is well-suited to handle items from a weekend DIY project, like cleaning the roof and gutters, tackling spring cleaning, or fixing damaged window screens. It also means these items won’t lie around the house, unattended, for weeks on end—you can simply toss them in the bin and get rid of them. 

3. You’ve Got a Small Yard Waste Project. 

Whether you’re clearing dead shrubs from the garden or setting up vegetable planters for next season, a small-scale yard project can generate a good amount of waste. From grass clippings to tree branches, shrubs, plants, logs, and dirt, our small roll-off dumpsters are suitable for disposing of most standard yard materials. Items like tires or oil are likely to be considered hazardous waste and are probably prohibited, but we can help advise you on your local guidelines to be sure. 

4. You’re Doing Renos for a Small Kitchen or Bathroom. 

Whether you’re a contractor or an ambitious homeowner, a Mini bin can be perfectly sized for a small kitchen or small bathroom renovation. That’s true if this area is small in square footage or if the scale of your renovation isn’t comprehensive—for example, upgrading a bathtub to a shower unit, without changing the rest of the bathroom.  

5. You’re Doing Some Light Remodeling.  

Another ideal project for a small roll-off dumpster is light remodeling work. Think: changing out the light fixtures throughout your home, replacing the carpeting in one room, or other lighter projects. If it helps, our smallest Mini bins (10-yard containers) can usually carry between 50 and 70 garbage bags of waste materials. If you think your project will exceed that capacity, you may require a larger bin.
