Volume and Dimensions of Dumpsters 20-yard and 30-yard dumpsters are named after the amount of waste they can hold. A 20-yard dumpster can hold 20 cubic yards of debris, which is equivalent to about 10 pickup truck loads. They are best suited to compact and lightweight waste.
10-yard: A 10 yard dumpster is ideal for small jobs such as roof removals or household junk removal. 15-yard: A larger dumpster of 15 yards is ideal for large home renovations and major landscaping projects.
The 15-yard dumpster's interior dimensions are 17 feet long, 7 foot wide and 3 feet tall. The exact dimensions of your 15-yard dumpster may vary depending on the manufacturer. However, the volume and capacity of the dumpster will remain the same.
