15 Yard Dumpster Rental in Green Bay, WI
Your kitchen remodel just hit the demo phase and cabinets, drywall, and old flooring are stacking up faster than you expected. Or maybe you’re clearing out a finished basement, tearing off a roof on a mid size home near Ashwaubenon, or handling a cleanout that spans more than one room. A single garage cleanout container isn’t going to cut it, and jumping straight to the biggest size on the lot means paying for space you won’t use.
That middle ground is exactly where a 15 yard container fits. It measures about 14 to 16 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4 feet tall, and it holds roughly 4 to 5 pickup truck loads of debris. It’s the size most contractors and homeowners reach for once a project grows past one single room but hasn’t turned into a full home renovation.
Dimensions
The added capacity gives you meaningfully more room than the smaller size without a major increase in driveway footprint. The swing door at the back still gives you walk-in access, so loading bulky items like cabinets or old countertops doesn’t mean lifting them over a high wall.
How tall is a 15 yard dumpster? It stands about 4 feet tall at the side rail, which stays low enough to load without a ramp for most items.
| Length | 14 to 16 feet |
|---|---|
| Width | 8 feet |
| Height | 4 feet |
| Door width | About 7.5 feet |
| Weight limit | 2.5 tons (5,000 lbs) included in base price |
How Much Does a 15 Yard Roll Off Dumpster Hold?
A 15 yard roll off dumpster holds about 4 to 5 pickup truck loads of debris. That extra load of capacity compared to the smaller size is usually the difference between finishing a project in one container or having to call for a swap partway through. If your project realistically needs four to five truck runs, this size lines up well.
15 Yard vs. 10 Yard: When to Size Up
If you started out thinking a smaller dumpster would do the job, here’s how to tell if you’re at real risk of running out of room.
| 10 Yard | 15 Yard | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $200 / 7 days | $230 / 7 days |
| Capacity | 3–4 truck loads | 4–5 truck loads |
| Height | 3.5 feet | 4 feet |
| Weight limit | 2 tons | 2.5 tons |
| Best for | Single room, small cleanout | Multi-room, mid-size remodel |
Signs a 10 Yard Won’t Be Enough
- Your project touches more than one room at the same time
- You’re combining a remodel with a cleanout, not just doing one or the other
- You’ve already estimated four or more pickup truck loads
- You’re removing roofing material along with other construction debris
- You’d rather not risk stopping mid project to arrange more space
15 Yard vs. 20 Yard: When to Size Down
On the other end, some people default to the bigger container out of caution when this size would actually cover the job, and end up paying for unused space.
| 15 Yard | 20 Yard | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $230 / 7 days | $270 / 7 days |
| Capacity | 4–5 truck loads | 6–8 truck loads |
| Height | 4 feet | 4.5 feet |
| Weight limit | 2.5 tons | 3 tons |
| Best for | Kitchen remodel, roofing, basement | Whole-home cleanout, large construction |
Signs You Don’t Need a 20 Yard
- You’re working on one or two rooms, not the entire house
- Your project is a remodel or renovation, not a full demolition
- You’ve estimated five pickup truck loads or fewer
- You’re trying to keep the container footprint smaller for a tighter driveway

What Projects Is This Size Good For?
Kitchen Remodel Debris
Cabinets, countertops, old flooring, and drywall from a kitchen remodel add up fast, and this size gives you enough room to handle a full kitchen tear-out without running out of space partway through.
Multi-Room Cleanout
When a cleanout spans more than one room, like clearing both a living room and a bedroom before a move, this container handles the combined volume better than a smaller size built for single-room jobs.
Roofing Tear-Off, Small to Mid-Size Home
Shingles are heavy, so weight matters as much as volume here. For a small to mid size home, this size usually covers a full roofing tear-off within the included weight allowance, though steeper or larger roofs may need to size up.
Basement Renovation
Old carpet, drywall, furniture, and framing material from a basement renovation typically fit well within this capacity, especially for basements that aren’t fully finished.
Larger Deck or Small Addition Demolition
A bigger deck than a standard single-level project, or a small addition tear-down, often produces more debris than a small deck job but not enough to justify the largest containers.
Can You Put Heavy Materials in It?
Yes, but the same rule applies here as with every size: heavy material like concrete, brick, or roofing shingles hits the weight limit before it fills the available space. A full load of shingles from a roofing tear-off can use up most of the 2.5 ton allowance while the container still looks far from full.
If your project involves heavy debris, mention it when you book so we can confirm the right weight allowance. For the full breakdown of accepted and restricted materials, see our dumpster materials guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 15-Yard Dumpster Big Enough for a Kitchen Remodel?
For most standard kitchen remodels, yes. Cabinets, countertops, flooring, and drywall from a single kitchen typically fit within this container’s capacity.
How Many Rooms Can a 15 Yard Handle at Once?
It generally handles debris from one to two rooms comfortably. Beyond that, especially for a full-home cleanout, a larger size is usually a better fit.
How Many Trash Bags Fit in a 15 Yard Dumpster?
Roughly 80 to 100 standard trash bags worth of debris, though loose bagged trash isn’t the most space-efficient way to fill it. Bulkier items like furniture or construction debris will fill it faster by weight than by bag count.
Will It Fit in a Standard Driveway?
Most standard residential driveways in Green Bay can accommodate this size, though the delivery truck still needs clear access to place and retrieve the container safely.
