The 15 yard is the size we recommend when a 10 yard is cutting it close but a 20 yard feels like overkill. It's 16 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 4.5 feet tall -- a foot taller on the walls than the 10 yard, which adds real capacity without adding much to the footprint on your driveway. We deliver this size the same way we handle every size: our own truck covering both drop-off and pickup, so nothing gets lost in translation between a call center and a driver.
This is a common size for kitchen remodels, single-layer tile or shingle roof jobs, and general contractor swap-outs where a crew wants a container that holds a week or two of steady debris without needing an early pickup. It holds roughly 5-6 pickup truck loads, enough to clear most single-room-plus projects in one container.
If you've already looked at our 10 yard and worried it might run out of room mid-project, the 15 yard is usually the answer. Not sure which one fits? Our sizing guide walks through the decision.
Right job, right box
What this size is built for
Ideal projects
- Full kitchen remodel -- cabinets, countertops, flooring, drywall
- Single-layer shingle or tile roof tear-off (up to roughly 2,000 sq ft)
- Bathroom remodel combined with flooring replacement in an adjoining room
- Small addition or casita framing debris
- Whole-condo or townhome decluttering for a move
- Moderate driveway or patio concrete and paver removal
Pick a different size if…
- A quick single-room cleanout with light debris -- a 10 yard saves you space and cost
- Full tile-roof tear-offs on a full-size roof -- weight usually calls for a 20 yard
- Whole-house flooring replacement across a full home -- step up to a 20 yard
- New-construction framing scrap or a full home addition -- go 30 yard or larger
- Whole-house cleanouts ahead of a listing or estate sale
Not sure? Call (480) 319-6826 and describe what you are looking at. We would rather sell you a smaller container than have you pay for space you do not use.
Capacity in real terms
How much actually fits
| What you're loading | How it fits in a 15 yard dumpster |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen remodel (cabinets, counters, flooring) | Fits comfortably in one container |
| Single-layer shingle tear-off, up to ~2,000 sq ft roof | Fits by weight for a single layer |
| 5-6 pickup truck loads of mixed debris | This is the volume a 15 yard is built for |
| Small casita or addition framing debris | Fits with room for packaging and offcuts |
| Moderate patio or driveway concrete removal | Fits by weight for smaller slabs |
The projects that fit a 15 yard best
Kitchen remodels are the classic 15 yard job -- cabinets, countertops, old flooring and drywall from a standard Scottsdale kitchen fit comfortably. It's also the default recommendation for a single-layer tile or asphalt shingle tear-off on an average-size roof, common work across both older Old Town homes and newer builds alike. Contractors doing a bathroom-plus-flooring combo, or a small addition's framing debris, land here too.
We also deliver a lot of 15 yard rentals to homeowners on tighter lots around Old Town Scottsdale who want more capacity than a 10 yard but don't have room, or need, for a full 20 yard footprint. The extra height over the 10 yard adds meaningful volume without changing how much driveway space it takes up.
Roofing and weight -- what a single layer actually weighs
A single-layer tear-off on a roof up to roughly 2,000 square feet generally fits a 15 yard's weight allowance without issue. Clay or concrete tile, common on Scottsdale roofs, weighs considerably more per square foot than asphalt shingle, so a full tile tear-off often needs to move up to a 20 yard even though the volume looks similar. Tell us the roofing material and roughly the square footage when you book so we bring the right weight allowance. More detail in our roofing tear-off sizing guide.
Same logic applies to driveway or patio concrete removal: a 15 yard handles a moderate concrete or paver job, but a full driveway replacement usually needs a conversation about whether a 10 yard (lower weight allowance, often still enough) or a 20 yard makes more sense once we know square footage and thickness.
Placement across Scottsdale's neighborhoods
A 15 yard needs about the same driveway footprint as a 10 yard, just slightly taller walls, so it fits the same driveways across McCormick Ranch, Old Town and older lots without a problem. Scottsdale's HOA-governed communities do factor into placement more than a flatter, non-HOA neighborhood would -- our driver will confirm placement rules with you if your property sits in DC Ranch, Gainey Ranch or McCormick Ranch.
If the container needs to sit in the street rather than the driveway -- tight infill lots near Old Town sometimes require this -- check our permit guide for City of Scottsdale right-of-way rules, or call and we can tell you whether your address is likely to need one based on similar jobs nearby.

Answers
15 Yard Dumpster — frequently asked questions
Is a 15 yard big enough for a full kitchen remodel?
For a standard-size kitchen -- cabinets, countertops, flooring and drywall -- yes, a 15 yard is the size we recommend most often. Larger kitchens combined with adjoining room work sometimes push into a 20 yard, so mention the full scope when you call.
How does a tile roof affect the size I need?
Clay or concrete tile weighs considerably more per square foot than asphalt shingle, so a full tile tear-off often needs a 20 yard rather than a 15. Tell us the roofing material and roughly the square footage when you book.
Does a 15 yard fit on a Scottsdale driveway?
Yes -- it needs about the same footprint as a 10 yard, just taller walls, so it fits the same driveways across most neighborhoods, including tighter lots near Old Town Scottsdale.
How does a 15 yard compare to a 10 yard in practice?
The 15 yard is a foot taller on the walls, which adds meaningful capacity for the same driveway footprint. If you're debating between the two, the 15 yard is the safer choice for anything beyond a single small room.
What's the rental period for a 15 yard?
The standard rental period gives you plenty of time, and it's easy to extend if your project runs longer -- just tell us when you book or call to adjust.
