How to pick the perfect size

Compare common job profiles to find the right dumpster size. Selecting the correct size up front prevents paying for extra weight or needing a second dumpster delivered.

Your Project / Typical Use Case Recommended Size Why This Size?
Kitchen Remodel (Cabinet tear-out, counters, drywall) 15-Yard Easily fits residential remodeling debris and remains compact in a single driveway.
Whole-House Roof Tear-Off (Shingles & underlayment) 30-Yard Heavy shingle waste adds up fast; the 30-yard dumpster safely accommodates the bulk volume.
Concrete-Only pour cleanup (Masonry, stucco, slurry, mixer rinse) Concrete Washout EPA regulations ban concrete runoff. This sealed slurry bin contains liquid washout perfectly.
Garage, Attic & Basement Cleanout (Boxes, old furniture, junk) 15-Yard Sufficient volume for standard household clutter without occupying excessive driveway space.
Commercial Jobsite / Full Demolition (Lumber, framing, metal) 30-Yard Our workhorse option. Keeps active construction sites clean, safe, and code-compliant.
No Surprise Fees

Weight & Overage Explained

The biggest surprise with national dumpster chains is hidden fees. At G Roll-Offs, we believe in flat-rate, transparent pricing. The number on your quote is the number on your invoice.

Each dumpster size includes a set amount of base weight. If your debris exceeds this limit, we simply pass along the local landfill’s prorated tonnage fee. No administrative surcharges, no surprise penalties.

  • What's Included: Delivery, placement, flexible rental, base weight allowance, and final disposal.
  • Overage Triggers: Exceeding the base tons (2 tons for the 15-yard, 4 tons for the 30-yard).
  • Prorated Billing: If you go over by 0.5 tons, you only pay for exactly 0.5 tons of landfill fees.

Common Debris Weight Estimates

Drywall & Framing Lumber Light (~1 to 1.5 tons)
Household Junk & Furniture Moderate (~1 to 2 tons)
Roofing Shingles (2,000 sq ft) Heavy (~2.5 to 3.5 tons)
Concrete, Dirt, Sand & Brick Extreme (Contact Us First)
