Judge the volume first, then weigh that answer against what the material actually is. Prime Dumpster carries five sizes here, and the right one is usually obvious once you describe the job.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a bathroom gut, a small patio tear-out, or any load built around tile, block, or concrete. Dense material fills the weight allowance long before it fills the container.
The 15-Yard Dumpster is a good middle choice for a garage clear-up, a kitchen strip-out, or a single-slope roof section. You gain working room without jumping to a much bigger footprint.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Lake Worth Beach homeowners end up with. It handles a full-house cleanout or a remodel that touches several rooms, and it still fits on a typical driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is built for a large addition, a new build, or mixed debris coming off several trades at once. It is the size to ask about when a job will run for weeks.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container, meant for commercial demolition, warehouse cleanouts, and high-volume light debris. It needs real room to set down and swing open.
Describe the project to your account manager and they will size it with you rather than leaving you to guess.
