The Perfect
"Sweet Spot" for Medium Remodels
Flooring Tear-Outs and Large Cleanouts
How Much Does a
15-Yard Dumpster Hold?
The 15-yard dumpster is incredibly versatile, making it a favorite for homeowners and local contractors alike. It holds exactly 15 cubic yards of debris, which is roughly equivalent to 80 to 100 standard 33-gallon trash bags or four-and-a-half standard pickup truck loads.
The 15-yard sits right between our compact and full-sized containers. If your project is on the smaller side — a single room, light yard waste, or a short deck removal — our 10-yard
dumpster
may save you money. Going bigger, with a full kitchen gut or multi-room remodel? Step up to the 20-yard
dumpster, our most popular size in Somerset County.
Important Details & Specs:
- Dimensions: Approximately 16 feet long x 7.5 feet wide x 4.5 feet high.
- Best Uses: Medium-sized home renovations, entire flooring tear-outs (carpet, tile, or laminate), small deck removals, community cleanups, and large garage or attic purges.
- Easy Loading: The walls are low enough to toss items over the side, but it also features a convenient swinging rear door so you can easily walk in heavy or bulky debris.
- Space-Efficient: While it holds 50% more than our 10-yard bin, its footprint is only slightly longer, meaning it still fits comfortably in most standard residential driveways.
Pro Tip: If you are tearing out tile or heavy stone flooring, keep the weight distributed evenly. Walk the heaviest debris in first and lay it flat across the bottom!
What Fits in a 15-Yard Dumpster?
Perfect For These Franklin Projects:
Medium Kitchen & Bath Remodels: Easily swallows old cabinetry, drywall, porcelain fixtures, and ripped-out countertops.
Complete Flooring Tear-Outs: The ideal size for whole-house carpet removal, laminate, or tile (Note: If loading heavy tile or stone, keep the load level and consult us on weight limits!).
Large Yard Cleanups: Perfect for clearing out overgrown landscaping, massive tree branches, invasive shrubs, and storm debris after aheavy Nor'easter.
Moving or Downsizing: Got years of clutter in the garage or attic? This bin comfortably holds bulky items like old sofas, mattresses, broken lawn equipment, and dozens of cardboard boxes.
Deck Removals: Easily handles the splintered wood and hardware from a small-to-medium backyard deck or patio tear-down.
Franklin Township Regulations & Disposal Rules
We aren't a faceless national broker; we are your local Franklin Township neighbors. As highlighted in the local industry guidelines from "Franklin Dumpster Rentals", renting a dumpster in New Jersey requires strict adherence to environmental and landfill regulations.
What You Need to Know:
What You CAN Toss: Construction debris, yard waste (leaves, branches), furniture, boxes, and household junk are all perfectly fine.
What You CANNOT Toss: New Jersey law aggressively protects groundwater and local waterways. Absolutely no liquid waste is allowed. This includes wet paint, stains, varnishes, solvents, motor oils, and adhesive liquids. Appliances containing Freon are also strictly prohibited.
Concrete & Heavy Loads: Clean concrete, brick, and pavers are accepted, but because they get heavy fast, they typically require a dedicated concrete load to stay within weight limits. Let us know if you have heavy materials!
Permit Requirements: If placed on your private driveway, a permit is usually not required. However, if the dumpster must be placed on a public street or block a right-of-way, you may need a permit from the Township of Franklin..
