Choosing the Right Dumpster Size for Your Columbus Home Project

Which Dumpster Size Do You Need?

Not sure whether you need a 10-yard, 15-yard, or 20-yard dumpster for your Columbus home project? Ordering too small means extra hauls and added costs. Ordering too large means paying for space you don't use. This guide helps you pick the right size the first time.

10-Yard Dumpster: Small Projects

A 10-yard dumpster is best for minor home projects like bathroom remodels, small deck removals, or single-room cleanouts. It holds roughly 3 pickup truck loads of debris. If you're tackling a weekend garage cleanout or replacing flooring in one room, this is usually the right call.

15-Yard Dumpster: Medium Projects

The 15-yard dumpster is our most popular size for Columbus homeowners. It's ideal for medium-sized renovations, clearing out multiple rooms, or larger garage and basement cleanouts. Think kitchen remodel debris, whole-room flooring replacement, or a significant decluttering project.

20-Yard Dumpster: Large Projects

For major remodels, roofing projects, estate cleanouts, or whole-home renovation debris, the 20-yard dumpster has you covered. This is our largest option and handles significant volumes of construction materials, furniture, and household junk.
