Choose The Right Roll Off Dumpster Size For Yard Debris

A successful yard cleanup starts with the right container. For most residential projects, the practical choice is one of three roll off dumpster sizes: a 10, 15, or 20 yard dumpster. Choose 10 yards when weight is the constraint (soil, stumps, concrete), 15 yards for typical brush and limb cleanups, and 20 yards when bulky, mixed debris dominates. Larger 30–40 yard cans are usually reserved for construction or demolition and are rarely needed for routine yard waste dumpster service, a point echoed by both Infinite Disposal and Rumpke’s size guidance. As a quick reference, “a cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft space; one cubic yard is roughly the size of a standard kitchen oven,” which helps translate piles into container needs (Infinite Disposal’s guide to roll-off sizing). Right-sizing controls rental cost, avoids overweight fees, and keeps your project on schedule.
