15-Yard Dumpster Rental
The 15-yard is the size we recommend most often for seasonal-property turnover across our Thornton and Ashland territories, and for roofing jobs anywhere in our network. It holds enough volume for a genuine renovation project without the footprint of our larger containers.
Best For
- Roofing tear-offs (up to about 3,000 sq ft of shingles)
- Single-room renovations with construction debris
- Seasonal camp or condo turnover cleanouts
- Small deck removal or demolition
- Multi-room decluttering
Not the Right Fit For
Whole-house renovations or new construction — step up to the 20-yard if your project involves gutting more than one or two rooms.
Availability by Location
The 15-Yard Dumpster is stocked at every NorthPoint location, though standing inventory varies by territory based on typical local demand. Check availability for your specific delivery date when you book.
Pricing & What's Included
Every 15-Yard Dumpster rental includes delivery, a standard rental period, and pickup, with weight limits built into the price. Loads that exceed the weight limit are billed for the overage rather than rejected, and you'll see the exact all-in price before confirming your reservation online. Extensions are available by the day if your project runs longer than planned.
15-Yard Dumpster FAQ
How many roofing shingles fit in a 15-yard dumpster?
Up to about 3,000 square feet of shingles under normal conditions, though weight — not just volume — is what actually limits a roofing load. Tell us the roof size and number of layers coming off when you book so we can confirm the weight allowance fits.
Is a 15-yard big enough for a full bathroom renovation?
Yes, for a standard single-bathroom gut renovation, including tile, fixtures, and drywall. A larger bathroom or a renovation that also touches an adjacent room may run closer to a 20-yard.
What's the weight limit for a 15-yard dumpster?
1.5 tons included in the base price — noticeably more headroom than the 10-yard, which matters most for roofing and renovation debris that tends to be heavier per cubic yard than general household items.
What's the real difference between a 15-yard and a 20-yard?
Mostly scale: the 15-yard covers a single significant project (one room, one roof, one deck), while the 20-yard is sized for whole-home cleanouts and multi-room renovations. See our full size comparison if you're deciding between them.
