Better Suited to Another Size

Pure concrete, dirt, or brick is often cheaper in a 10 yard low-profile dumpster, since the 15 yard’s weight limit is reached well before the bin is visually full. Tires, batteries, paint, and asbestos are not accepted in any size.

What’s the difference between a 15 yard and a 20 yard dumpster?

The 15 yard holds about 4 to 5 pickup truck loads versus 6 to 8 for the 20 yard, and it has a slightly lower weight allowance — the 15 yard is the better fit when your project is bigger than a single room but doesn’t need whole-house capacity.

Do I need a permit for a 15 yard dumpster in Macon?
