When Should You Rent a 15-Yard Dumpster?

At redbox+ Dumpsters®, we’re frequently asked: what’s the right bin for a project? When you’re just starting to research your options, you may not know if a 15-yard dumpster rental will be more beneficial than a 30-yard container. While every project varies in its needs, it helps to know more about each type of bin available. Today, we’ll do a deeper dive into our 15-yard options.

First of all, how much does a 15-yard dumpster rental really hold? The name doesn’t refer to the bin’s exact dimensions, but its waste capacity—this type of bin can hold approximately 15 cubic yards of materials. If that’s difficult to picture, you can think of it in trash bags or truck loads: this bin holds about 80 to 100 trash bags’ worth of waste or 4.5 pickup truck loads.

Does that mean, if you have more waste than that, you should opt for a larger bin? Not necessarily. Below, we’ll explore a few good reasons to choose a 15-yard dumpster rental.

Choosing a 15-Yard Dumpster Rental

3 Reasons to Choose a 15-Yard Bin

When you’re considering your options for bin rentals, it’s not just about the amount of waste each container can carry. It’s also about your project, your space, and your needs. With that in mind, here are just a few additional reasons that homeowners or businesses may opt for the 15-yard dumpster rental:

  • Limited space. The size and available space of your worksite will often dictate what bin rental is right for your needs. If you’ve got an incredibly limited amount of space or your workspace is also being taken up by vehicles, equipment, and materials, it’s worth considering the more compact 15-yard bin for your project.
  • Residential projects. For homeowners as well as companies embarking on residential projects, a 15-yard bin is a great option. That’s because it’s great for driveways or curbs, or even some yards, depending on the layout. Plus, our pavement pad protectors are fantastic for helping to keep the ground underneath well-protected from any damage.
  • Bulky items. When you’re clearing out large and bulky items, such as long pieces of furniture or odd-sized landscaping features, you need a good amount of space. The 15-yard bin is great for these projects.

Our 15-Yard Dumpster Rental Options

When you choose redbox+ Dumpsters, one of the great benefits is the versatility we offer our customers. It means that we have a range of options that can suit your purposes—including options for short-term and long-term rentals as well as different options for 15-yard dumpster rentals. These include:

  • Our 15-yard Mini bin. Designed to fit in extremely tight spaces, our 15-yard Mini bin still offers approximately 15 cubic yards for waste disposal. This container is shorter in length but taller in height, making it ideal for ultra-short driveways, condo communities, or small alleyways.
  • Our 15-yard Standard bin. Our Standard container is a little more spread out than the Mini bin, while still being a perfect size for most driveways. This container, like all our others, offers great features like pavement pad protectors and an operational rear door.

Depending on the length of your project and your waste management needs, you may find that your bin requires emptying periodically. That’s no problem! Our team can collect and empty your bin, and then return it to your site—often on the same day. We make it extremely convenient to choose redbox+ Dumpsters.
