How to Choose

Which Dumpster Size Do I Need?

Quick answer

For most homeowners, a 20 yard is the sweet spot — it handles a whole-home cleanout or a full remodel. Choose a 10 or 15 yard for single-room jobs or heavy debris like concrete, and step up to a 30 or 40 yard for new construction, demolition, or commercial-scale hauls.

1 Match the size to your project

Cleanouts and small remodels fit a 10 or 15 yard. Mid-size renovations and roofing suit a 20 yard. Major builds, additions, and teardowns call for a 30 or 40 yard. When you’re between sizes, going one up usually costs less than a second haul.

2 Watch the weight, not just the volume

Heavy debris like concrete, brick, dirt, and shingles hits the weight limit long before the bin looks full. For those materials, a low-profile 10 yard is almost always the smart, cost-effective choice.

3 Check your space and clearance

All our roll-offs need roughly 60 feet of straight-line room for the truck and about 23–25 feet of overhead clearance. Taller 30 and 40 yard containers are best on open driveways or job sites.

4 Still unsure? Just ask

What happens if I choose a dumpster that’s too small?

You’d either need a second haul (an extra delivery and disposal fee) or have to leave debris behind. Because sizing up one level is usually cheaper than a second container, we’ll always help you estimate volume honestly up front so you only pay once.

Dumpster Size Questions, Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

What dumpster sizes do you offer in Macon, GA?
We carry five roll-off sizes: 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 yard. They range from small 10 yard bins for single-room cleanouts and heavy debris, up to 40 yard containers for demolition and commercial-scale projects. Every size includes delivery, pickup, and disposal at a flat rate.
What is the most popular dumpster size?
The 20 yard is our most-booked size. It handles a whole-home cleanout, a full kitchen or bath remodel, and medium roofing jobs without the oversized footprint of a 30 yard, making it the best all-around fit for most homeowners.
How much does a dumpster rental cost in Macon?
Our flat rates start at $295 for a 10 yard and scale up to $500+ for a 40 yard, all including delivery, pickup, and disposal for a standard 7–10 day rental. That’s competitive with — and often below — the Macon-area average of roughly $319 to $772 published by other providers.
What size dumpster do I need for a whole-house cleanout?
A 20 yard fits most whole-home cleanouts, including furniture and general household junk. For very large estates, hoarding cleanups, or if you’re also removing built-ins, a 30 yard may save you a second haul.
Which dumpster size is best for concrete, dirt, or brick?
A 10 yard is the best choice for heavy, dense materials. Because concrete, dirt, and brick are so heavy, they reach the weight limit long before a larger bin would fill up — so a compact 10 yard keeps you from paying overage fees.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Macon?
No permit is required if the dumpster stays on your private driveway or property. If it must sit on a public street or right-of-way, the City of Macon-Bibb County requires a temporary placement permit, which we can help you arrange for any size.
How long can I keep the dumpster?
Every flat rate includes a standard 7–10 day rental. Need it longer for a bigger project? Just ask — affordable extension days are available on any size and quoted upfront with no surprises.
Can you help me pick the right size?
Absolutely. Call our local dispatchers, describe your project, and we’ll recommend the most cost-effective size — and never upsell you into a container bigger than you need.
