Stuck with too much junk and not enough room? Here’s what a 15-yard dumpster can really handle.
If you’re a homeowner in Utah planning a remodel or dealing with poststorm debris, you’re probably wondering: What does a 15-yard dumpster actually look like? Will it fit in your driveway? How much can you toss in without risking damage to your property?
You’re not alone—this is one of the most common questions we get at Driveway Safe Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know before booking one.

What Are the Dimensions of a 15-Yard Dumpster?
A 15-yard dumpster typically measures:
Length: 14 feet, Width: 7 feet, Height: 4 feet
For reference, that’s about the size of a large minivan or a small pickup truck. It comfortably fits in most standard residential driveways, leaving enough room for walk-around access.
Visual Tip: Think 4–5 pickup truck loads worth of debris.
What Will Fit Inside a 15-Yard Dumpster?
This size dumpster is perfect for mid-sized cleanups. It holds approximately 2 to 3 tons of waste (4,000–6,000 lbs).
Everyday items that fit:
Furniture (couches, chairs, tables), Yard waste (leaves, shrubs, branches), Construction debris (drywall, wood, tile), Household clutter (boxes, clothing, light appliances)
Prohibited items:
Wet paint, oil, chemicals, Electronics (TVs, computers), Concrete, dirt, rocks, Food waste, medical waste
Reminder: Extra fees apply for mattresses, tires, and refrigerators.
When Should You Choose a 15-Yard Dumpster?
If your project is too big for curbside pickup but too small for a 20-yard container, this is your sweet spot.
Ideal for:
Small kitchen or bathroom renovations, Garage or attic cleanouts, Tenant turnover or estate clearing, Landscaping or tree trimming
At Driveway Safe, we find this size is the most popular among homeowners tackling weekend warrior projects.

I’m 5’2” and this trailer was so easy to use. Troy is professional, prompt and communicated the drop-off and pick-up. No damage to my driveway which was one of my mail concerns and no hidden fees. I’ll definitely use this company again.

Everything worked fine on this project. It was easy to set up the dumpster rental. It was delivered and picked up on time. The driver Troy made sure the dumpster wasn't in the way of someone using the other side of the driveway. Flat plates under the dumpster protected my driveway. I will definitely call Driveway Safe again the next time I want a dumpster. One thing I didn't know was that their dumpsters get taller, not longer, as the sizes get bigger. This is really nice for residential use.

Yard clean-up was a breeze with renting a dumpster from this company. It was easy to load tree limbs, dead bushes and hedge trimmings into the dumpster and let Driveway Safe Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal dispose of it. Troy, the owner was very helpful and answered all of my questions. Jodie worked around my time schedule to reserve delivery and pick up of the dumpster. All staff was pleasant and professional to work with from beginning to end. And great pricing. Thank you.

I was in a dilemma of not knowing how to rid my basement of unneeded and unwanted “stuff”. I called Driveway Safe Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal. I reserved a dumpster to load up and let them haul it away. No worries! Now that my basement is clear I can build additional bedrooms. And I will schedule another appointment with Driveway Safe Dumpster to remove the construction debris.

Excellent experience with Driveway Safe Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal. My concern for driveway damage was eliminated after speaking with this business. When the dumpster was delivered the driver managed to fit it through the narrow opening with ease. As the name says, it’s Driveway Safe. Prompt and affordable service.
