Questions
15 yard dumpster FAQ
How big is a 15 yard dumpster?
A 15-yard roll-off holds 15 cubic yards — about four to five pickup-truck loads. A typical one is roughly 14–16 feet long, 7½–8 feet wide and 4–4½ feet high. Ask us for the exact measurements when you book.
Should I get a 15 or a 20 yard dumpster?
If you’re clearing out a garage or basement, doing a kitchen or removing a deck, a 15-yard is usually right. If it’s a whole house, several rooms at once or a big roof, go 20. Still on the fence? Call us and describe the job — we’ll help you pick.
Can I put a whole deck in a 15 yard dumpster?
Many average-size wood decks fit in a 15-yard, especially if the boards are cut down and laid flat. Tell us the deck’s size and we’ll tell you if you need the 20.
Is delivery free?
Yes, if you’re within about 45 minutes of our home base in Plainville — that covers most of central Connecticut. Farther than that, a delivery fee applies, and we’ll tell you what it is before you book. Check your town or ZIP on our service area page.
What can’t go in the dumpster?
No concrete. Hazardous waste — chemicals, solvents, oil, wet paint, propane tanks and asbestos — can’t go in any dumpster. Mattresses, box springs and tires can go in for an additional charge; let us know when you book so we can include it in your quote.
How full can I fill it?
Up to the top of the walls, but not over. A load piled above the sides can’t be hauled safely, so keep everything level with the top.
