Quick Answer: A 10 or 15 yard dumpster covers most single-room and multi-room projects. Step up to a 20 yard for whole-home cleanouts and major renovations. When you're between two sizes, the larger bin costs less than a second haul.

  • • 10 yard: single-room remodels, garage cleanouts, roofing up to 32 squares (single layer)
  • • 15 yard: deck and fence tear-out, multi-room cleanouts, larger remodeling debris
  • • 20 yard: whole-home cleanouts, major remodels, estate cleanouts, downsizing
  • • Heavy debris like dirt and concrete goes in a 4 or 6 yard bin

Size matters when it comes to choosing the right dumpster rental. Whether you're cleaning out your home, remodeling a room, or tackling a larger renovation, picking the right size can make your project easier from start to finish.

Bin There Dump That's Plainfield location offers 4, 6, 10, 15, and 20 yard dumpsters to fit projects of all kinds. Here's a simple guide to help you choose.

10-Yard Dumpster: Small to Medium Projects

Got a small to medium size cleanout job on your hands? The 10 yard dumpster holds 4 pickup truck loads — perfect for those not-quite-massive cleanup jobs. It's also the largest size we provide for roofing, since shingles are heavy enough to hit the weight limit before the bin fills.

  • • Roofing jobs up to 32 squares (single layer)
  • • Single-room remodeling projects
  • • Flooring removal
  • • Closet and small room decluttering
  • • Garage and basement cleanouts

15-Yard Dumpster: Medium Projects

  • • Multi-room cleanouts
  • • Patio or deck removal
  • • Fence removal
  • • Larger remodeling debris
  • • Furniture and household items

20-Yard Dumpster: Large Projects

The big kahuna of our dumpster lineup, the 20 yard dumpster is for medium to large jobs. Holding up to 8 pickup truck loads, the 20 yard dumpster has got your back.

  • • Major home renovations
  • • Large garage cleanouts
  • • Whole-home and multi-room cleanouts
  • • Estate cleanouts
  • • Moving and downsizing

What About Heavy Debris?

Dirt, concrete, brick, and other dense material work differently. These loads hit the weight limit long before they fill a large bin, so they go in a 4 or 6 yard dumpster instead. Both also fit smaller driveways. Let us know what you're disposing of when you book and we'll match you to the right size.
