A step up from our smallest container, built for remodels, roofing tear-offs, and bigger yard cleanups across Plymouth and the South Shore.

The 15 yard dumpster is our most popular mid-size option, and for good reason — it holds meaningfully more than the 10 yard without needing much extra room to park it. It's the size we recommend most often for a single-room remodel, a full roof tear-off on an average home, or a yard cleanup that's generated more brush and debris than a couple of truck loads.

- Enough room for flooring and yard-work debris
- Fits most Plymouth driveways without crowding
Dimensions and Capacity
The 15 yard container runs about 16 ft long by 7.5 ft wide by 4.5 ft tall, with room for roughly 4–5 pickup-truck loads of debris. Typical rentals stay in the 2–3 ton range, which covers most single-trade remodels and moderate cleanouts.
What It's Good For
This size handles a kitchen or bathroom remodel, new flooring throughout a room or two, a full roofing tear-off, or a yard-work project with a lot of brush, branches, and old landscaping material. It's a common choice for homeowners who tried to estimate with a 10 yard and realized they'll generate more debris than that.
Driveway Placement
At 16 ft long, the 15 yard dumpster still fits on the great majority of Plymouth driveways. The sandy, well-drained soil common across the South Shore's glacial outwash plain is generally stable under a loaded container, though we recommend protective boards for older or edge-of-driveway placements, especially on properties near a pond or wetland where the ground can stay softer longer.

The 15 yard in Plymouth driveways
A 15 yard dumpster kept entirely on your private driveway in Plymouth generally doesn't require a town permit. Anything placed in the street or public right-of-way needs a permit through the Street Opening Permits process, administered by the Plymouth DPW. See Plymouth Code Chapter 260 for the town's full solid-waste bylaw.

15 Yard dumpster questions
What's the difference between a 10 yard and a 15 yard dumpster?
The 15 yard is about 2 ft longer and roughly 1 ft taller, holding an extra 1-2 pickup-truck loads. If your project is a full remodel or roof tear-off rather than a quick cleanout, the 15 yard is usually the safer bet.
Is a 15 yard dumpster enough for a kitchen remodel?
For most single-kitchen remodels, yes. If you're also replacing flooring throughout the house or doing a bathroom at the same time, ask us about a 20 yard instead.
Will a 15 yard dumpster damage my driveway?
A properly placed roll-off shouldn't damage a driveway in good condition. We can place protective boards under the wheels on request, which is worth asking for on older asphalt or near a driveway's edge.
How much yard waste can a 15 yard dumpster hold?
Enough for most residential yard-cleanup projects, including brush, branches, and old landscaping material. If you're clearing a large lot, let us know the scope so we can recommend the right size.
What size dumpster do I need for a roof tear-off?
A 15 yard typically handles a full single-layer tear-off on an average-size home. Larger roofs or multiple layers of shingles may call for a 20 yard — our team can help you size it based on your roof's square footage.
