15 Yard Dimensions

Our 15 yard dumpster interior dimensions measure 17 feet long, 7 feet wide and 3 feet high. Although the exact measurements may vary based on dumpster manufacturer, the capacity and volume of the 15 yard dumpster will be the same.

15 Yard Weight Capacity

When you rent a 15 yard dumpster, the rental includes the disposal of 3 tons (6,000 pounds) of material. It’s a lot of weight and it’s very rare that customers surpass 3 tons of material within their dumpster. Again, we do not charge extra for any weight under 3 tons within a 15 yard dumpster.

15 Yard Volume and Material

Here’s another way to think about it, a 15 yard dumpster can hold the same amount of material as about 4 pickup trucks. That’s about 80-100 33-gallon trash bags. Carpet, roof shingles, cabinets, drywall, and all other general waste are accepted in the 15 yard dumpster. Concrete, dirt, and hazardous waste are not accepted within our 15 yard dumpsters.

What do you mean by YARD?

The word “Yard” in 15 yard dumpster refers to one cubic yard of area. It’s an industry standard used to reference the size of large waste containers. You can also think of 1 cubic yard as 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet.

How much is a TON of debris?

A ton is 2000 pounds. What does a ton of waste look like? For example, a sheet of drywall that is 4′ x 8′ and 1/2″ thick, weighs about 52 pounds. So 38 sheets of drywall would weigh about a ton. Dumpsters contain a lot of waste. But, be sure your material remains below the top of the dumpster. When garbage is piled too high, it makes it difficult for the truck to secure the load. This poses a risk to others because debris could fall out of the dumpster during transport. Material stacked above the fill line can also slide off or, be blown off in the wind onsite. This poses a risk to you and your clean-up crew.
