Start with how much you expect to throw out, then check what it weighs. Prime Dumpster works with five sizes nationally.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the smallest container, suited to a bathroom strip-out, a small landscaping job, or a single-room floor removal. It is also the sensible choice for concrete, tile, and brick, which run out of weight allowance long before they run out of room.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a kitchen, a deck removal, or a partial roof tear-off on a bungalow. It carries noticeably more than the smallest size without a large jump in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the common residential choice: a whole-house cleanout, a remodel across several rooms, or a flooring replacement. It still fits on a standard driveway in most of the city.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is for additions, second storeys, and gut renovations. When mixed debris comes out in volume over several weeks, this size keeps one container on site rather than three.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest, aimed at commercial construction, studio and office fit-outs, and demolition producing a very high volume of light material.
Describe the project to your account manager, including the square footage and the materials, and they will tell you which size the job really needs.
