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 out of our own yard, 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 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 roof tear-off (up to roughly 2,000 sq ft)
- Bathroom remodel combined with flooring replacement in an adjoining room
- Small addition or outbuilding framing debris
- Whole-condo or townhome decluttering for a move
- Winter ice storm limb and yard debris cleanup
Pick a different size if…
- A quick single-room cleanout with light debris -- a 10 yard saves you space and cost
- Two-layer shingle 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 (864) 581-2571 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 outbuilding or addition framing debris | Fits with room for packaging and offcuts |
| A yard full of ice storm limbs and brush | Fits with room to spare for most residential lots |
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 Anderson kitchen fit comfortably. It's also the default recommendation for a single-layer asphalt shingle tear-off on an average-size roof, common work across both older homes near downtown Anderson and newer builds out toward Powdersville. 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 Anderson University and older parts of the city who want more capacity than a 10 yard but don't need 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 asphalt shingle tear-off on a roof up to roughly 2,000 square feet generally fits a 15 yard's weight allowance without issue. Older homes around Anderson County sometimes carry two layers of shingles from a prior re-roof laid over the original, and a two-layer tear-off often needs to move up to a 20 yard even though the visible roof area looks the same. Tell us the roofing material, whether it's a single or double layer, 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 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 Anderson and Anderson County
A 15 yard needs about the same driveway footprint as a 10 yard, just slightly taller walls, so it fits the same driveways whether you're near AnMed Health, out toward Belton, or in one of the newer subdivisions around Powdersville. If the container needs to sit in the street rather than the driveway, tell us when you book and we can talk through what the property allows.
Ice storms in Anderson County tend to bring down limbs rather than heavy snow load, which is a common reason homeowners call us for a 15 yard in the colder months -- enough capacity for a yard full of storm debris without needing our largest container. Call and describe what's on the ground and we'll size it correctly.

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 two-layer roof affect the size I need?
A second layer of shingles roughly doubles the weight coming off the roof, so a two-layer tear-off often needs a 20 yard rather than a 15. Tell us if you know there's an old layer underneath when you book.
Does a 15 yard fit on an Anderson 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 downtown Anderson.
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?
Our standard rental period runs seven days, and it's easy to extend if your project runs longer -- just tell us when you book or call to adjust.
