How to Choose the Right Dumpster Size for Your Project in Greenville, SC

josh bryant • October 27, 2025

Not sure which dumpster size you need in Greenville, SC? Use this quick guide to match 10–30 yard dumpsters to cleanouts, remodels, roofing, and construction.

The quick answer

The right dumpster size depends on your project scope, the type of debris, and how fast you want the job done. Choosing correctly saves you money on extra hauls, prevents overloading, and keeps your site clean and safe.

Common sizes (and when to use them)

10-Yard Dumpster: Best for small cleanouts (closets, a single room), light DIY projects, or a few pieces of bulky furniture. Fits most driveways.

15-Yard Dumpster: Good for apartment/garage cleanouts, small kitchen or bath remodels, and minor landscaping.

20-Yard Dumpster: Our most popular “just right” size for whole-home decluttering, roofing shingles on average homes, deck removals, and mid-size remodels.

30-Yard Dumpster: Ideal for large renovations, new construction, multi-room cleanouts, or commercial projects with bulky debris.

Think in terms of debris type

Household junk & furniture: Go 15–20 yards to avoid overfilling.

Remodeling debris (drywall, cabinets, flooring): 20–30 yards depending on scope.

Roofing shingles: Ask us about square footage and layers—we’ll size it to your roof.

Yard waste: Branches and brush are bulky; 15–20 yards usually works.

Weight limits & loading tips

Don’t exceed the fill line—level loads travel safer and avoid extra fees.

Load heavier items first to keep weight even.

Keep prohibited items out (paint, chemicals, batteries, tires, and liquids).

Driveway-friendly placement

We use protective boards on most residential deliveries. Tell us about tight turnarounds, low trees, or steep slopes—we’ll recommend the safest spot.

Not sure? Ask us.

A 2-minute call can save you a second haul. Tell us what you’re tossing and we’ll size it right.
