The 15 yard container in Holland
The 15 yard sits between the small box and the big one. Garage, attic or basement cleanouts, flooring and carpet removal, kitchen and bath work, small deck or fence removal, light roofing, and yard waste and tree trimming are the usual jobs. It holds about 15 cubic yards, roughly four to five pickup truck loads or 80 to 100 standard trash bags.
At about 16 feet long and 7.5 feet wide it adds capacity without taking much more room, and it fits most residential driveways. The 4.5-foot sides keep the throw height down, which helps on a weekend project loaded by hand.
Space needed
a flat, solid spot about 16 feet long and 8 feet wide (a driveway, pad or lot, not the lawn), about 60 feet of clear approach for the roll-off truck, and about 25 feet of clearance overhead, free of wires and branches
Kitchens, floors, light roofs and yards
A kitchen makes more debris than people expect. Once the cabinets, the countertops and the drywall are out, a 10 is tight and a 15 is right. Flooring jobs are similar: carpet and pad are bulky, and tile is heavy. Light roofing fits too, but shingles are heavy, so tell us the roofing squares or the flooring area and we estimate the weight on the phone. Break long deck boards and fence panels down so they load flat.
Yard work fits as well: branches, shrubs and leaves from a cleanup or a storm. Keep a green load green and clean. Michigan keeps more than a de minimis amount of yard waste out of landfills (MCL 324.11514), so a load with trash mixed in cannot be treated as green waste.
Weight on a 15 yard
The allowance is typically 2 to 3 tons, depending on the debris. Flooring, tile, roofing and wet yard waste reach it quickly; cabinets, drywall, carpet and furniture rarely do. If more than half the load is dense material such as tile, plaster or concrete, call us first, because a 10 may suit it better. Load evenly front to back and side to side, and keep everything below the top edge. The flat rate can include delivery, pickup, disposal up to the included weight and a standard rental period of 7 days, with extensions for a daily or weekly fee.
Suitability
Is the 15 yard the right size for you?
Rough working figures. Weight, not volume, is what usually decides.
Choose the 15 yard for
- Garage, attic and basement cleanouts
- Flooring and carpet removal
- Kitchen and bath remodels
- Small deck and fence removal
- Yard waste, tree trimming and storm debris
Pick a different size for
- Whole-home cleanouts, which go in a 20
- Loads that are mostly tile, concrete or dirt (a 10 may be better)
- Liquids, paint, solvents, chemicals and fuel
- Tires, batteries, asbestos and other hazardous waste
Placing a 15 yard container in Holland
It needs a flat, solid spot about 16 feet long and 8 feet wide (a driveway, pad or lot, not the lawn), about 60 feet of clear approach for the roll-off truck, and about 25 feet of clearance overhead, free of wires and branches. The driveway comes first. In the City of Holland a refuse collector licence applies, and the City Council approves applicants; we check the City's rules before booking. We found no rule on dumpster placement in the City code we could read, so for any spot in a street we check the City's rules and the placement with you before booking. MDOT requires a permit from anyone who wants to use state highway right-of-way for anything other than normal vehicle or pedestrian travel, so we keep containers out of the right-of-way of I-196, US-31, M-21, M-40, M-45 or any other state route. Check any neighborhood association rules too. Protective boards can go under the rails on request. Each town page covers its own rules.

How big is a 15 yard dumpster?
About 16 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 4.5 feet high. It holds about 15 cubic yards, roughly four to five pickup truck loads or 80 to 100 standard bags.
Will it fit in my driveway?
It fits most residential driveways, and the driveway is where it should go. The truck needs about 60 feet of clear approach and about 25 feet of clearance overhead. The street is the fallback, not the plan. In Holland we check the City's rules and the placement with you before booking.
Can I keep it longer than the standard period?
Yes. The standard rental period is 7 days, and we can often extend it for a daily or weekly fee. Just call.
What is the weight limit?
The allowance is typically 2 to 3 tons, depending on the debris. Flooring, tile, roofing and wet yard waste can reach it fast, so call for a quick estimate.
Can I mix materials?
Usually yes, but heavy materials like dirt or concrete may need separate pricing, so check with us first. Anything on our not-accepted list, such as liquids, paint, solvents, chemicals, fuel, tires, batteries, asbestos or hazardous waste, stays out.
