What Is a 15 Yard Dumpster?
A 15 yard dumpster is a mid-size roll-off container that holds 15 cubic yards of debris,equivalent to approximately 5-6 pickup truck loads or 80-100 large contractor trash bags. It is the most popular dumpster size for residential projects in Jacksonville, FL, striking the ideal balance between capacity and driveway footprint for roofing jobs, kitchen remodels, and multi-room cleanouts.
To visualize 15 cubic yards, imagine a container 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 4.5 feet high,roughly the same footprint as a large SUV. The 15 yard sits between our 10 yard dumpster ($275) and our 20 yard dumpster ($375), offering 50% more capacity than the 10 yard for only $50 more.
At 904 Dumpster, we rent 15 yard dumpsters across Jacksonville and Northeast Florida for a flat rate of $325, which includes delivery, pickup, a 5-day rental period, and disposal of up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs). As a locally owned company serving the 904 area since 2016, we are not a broker or national call center,we own our trucks, employ local drivers, and include driveway protection boards on every delivery at no extra cost.
15 Yard Dumpster Dimensions & Size
A 15 yard dumpster measures 14 feet long by 7.5 feet wide by 4.5 feet high. The container fits within a standard residential driveway without overhanging onto the sidewalk,a common cause for city citations in neighborhoods like Atlantic Beach and Downtown Jacksonville. At 4.5 feet tall, the walls are low enough to toss heavy debris over the side without needing a ladder, but high enough to contain bulky items like appliances and cabinets.

Compared to the 10 yard dumpster, the 15 yard is 2 feet longer and nearly a foot taller, providing 50% more volume. Compared to the 20 yard dumpster, it is the same length but 1.3 feet shorter, making it easier to fit in driveways with overhead obstructions like oak tree branches,a common consideration in Riverside, Avondale, and San Marco neighborhoods.

Pro Tip: For roofing projects, shingles are deceptively heavy,one "square" (100 sq ft) of three-tab shingles weighs approximately 250 lbs. A 15 yard dumpster holds 25-30 squares within the 2-ton weight limit. If you have architectural shingles or a roof larger than 3,000 sq ft, call us at (904) 240-5598 to discuss whether you'll need a weight limit adjustment. If you'd rather not load it yourself, check out our junk removal service.

How Much Can a 15-Yard Dumpster Hold?
Most homeowners struggle to visualize "cubic yards." Here's how to picture it for your Jacksonville project.
5-6 Pickup Trucks
Imagine 5-6 standard pickup truck beds filled to the brim. That's the capacity of one 15-yard bin.
80-100 Contractor Bags
Fits approximately 80-100 large (33-gallon) contractor trash bags.
25-30 Roofing Squares
Handles 2,500-3,000 sq ft of asphalt shingles from a typical Jacksonville home roof.
1,500 Sq Ft Flooring
Can hold debris from a 1,500 sq ft flooring tear-out including carpet and padding.
Why the 15-Yard Bin is the "Roofing Standard" in the 904
Jacksonville roofing contractors almost exclusively use 15-yard bins for residential tear-offs. Why? Weight management.
Shingles are heavy: One "square" (100 sq ft) of three-tab shingles weighs approximately 250 lbs.
Perfect capacity: A 15-yard dumpster can hold roughly 25-30 squares of shingles.
Built-in safeguard: Using a larger 20-yard bin for shingles often leads to over-filling and massive overweight fees at the landfill. The 15-yard acts as a natural safeguard, keeping your project on budget.
Weight Breakdown
If you're a roofer working in Mandarin or Southside, the 15-yard bin is your most cost-effective choice.
Top Project Use Cases for a 15-Yard Rental
If your project falls into one of these categories, the 15-yard is likely your best ROI.
Kitchen & Bathroom Remodels
When you rip out old cabinets, granite countertops, and cast-iron tubs, you need volume.
The 4.5-foot walls of the 15-yard bin are low enough to toss heavy debris over the side without needing a ladder, but deep enough to contain bulky items like a dishwasher or vanity.
Major Garage or Attic Purge
If you're clearing out a 2-car garage that hasn't been touched in a decade, a 10-yard bin is often too small.
The 15-yard accommodates old bicycles, lawn furniture, broken workbenches, and those endless stacks of moving boxes.
Deck & Fence Removal
Tearing down a 250-sq-ft wooden deck? The 15-yard handles the pressure-treated lumber and posts with ease.
Note: In Jacksonville, the city's bulk pickup will often refuse pressure-treated wood due to chemical treatments. A dumpster is the only legal way to dispose of this material.
The 904 Advantage: Why Local Beats National Brokers
When you search for "dumpster rental near me," you'll see national giants like Waste Management or Budget Dumpster. Here's why booking directly with a Jacksonville-owned company is the smart choice.
No Hidden "Environmental" Fees
National brokers often quote a low base price and add $50–$100 in "fuel surcharges" or "admin fees" at checkout. Our $325 price is the price.
Driveway Protection Boards
We know Florida asphalt and pavers. Every 15-yard delivery includes complimentary wood planks to ensure the steel rollers never touch your driveway directly.
Local Knowledge
We know which neighborhoods require permits. If you're in Neptune Beach, we know the specific street-placement rules. A call center in Ohio doesn't.

15 Yard Dumpster FAQs
How big is a 15 yard dumpster?
A 15 yard dumpster measures 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 4.5 feet high - roughly the size of a large SUV. Because our 15-yard bins are only 14 feet long, they fit comfortably in a standard residential driveway without hanging over the sidewalk, a common cause for city citations in Atlantic Beach and Downtown Jacksonville.
How much can a 15 yard dumpster hold?
A 15 yard dumpster holds exactly 15 cubic yards of waste. To visualize this for your Jacksonville project: 5-6 standard pickup truck beds filled to the brim, approximately 80-100 large (33-gallon) contractor trash bags, debris from a large kitchen remodel, or 1,500 sq ft of flooring tear-out (carpet and padding).
What is the average cost of a 15 yard dumpster in Jacksonville?
In the Jacksonville market, prices range from $325 to $450. 904 Dumpster offers a flat rate of $325 with no hidden broker fees. Our price includes delivery, 5-day rental, pickup, and disposal up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs). Overage fee is $75/ton only if you exceed the weight limit.
How many roofing squares fit in a 15 yard dumpster?
A 15 yard dumpster can safely hold 25-30 squares of standard asphalt shingles (2,500-3,000 sq ft of roof). Most Jacksonville homes (avg. 2,500 sq ft) generate about 2 tons of roofing debris, which fits perfectly within our included weight limit. If you have heavy architectural shingles, we recommend staying under 30 squares to avoid exceeding the weight limit.
Will a 15 yard dumpster damage my driveway?
Not with 904 Dumpster. Unlike national brokers, we provide complimentary wood planks (driveway protection boards) for every 15-yard delivery. Our professional drivers are trained in residential delivery and know how to protect Florida asphalt and pavers from the steel rollers.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Jacksonville?
If the dumpster is placed entirely on your private property (driveway or yard), no permit is required. However, if you need to place it on a public street in areas like Springfield or Downtown, you must apply for a Right-of-Way permit through the City of Jacksonville Development Services Department. We know which neighborhoods require permits.
Can I rent a 15 yard dumpster for concrete?
Yes, but only for "clean" concrete loads. Concrete is extremely heavy; a 15-yard bin filled with concrete would be impossible for a standard truck to lift. If you're tearing up a driveway, call us for "Heavy Debris" pricing and loading instructions.
How soon can you deliver to St. Augustine or Orange Park?
We offer same-day delivery for all 15-yard rentals in St. Johns and Clay counties if you call before 11:00 AM. We also serve Nassau, Duval, and surrounding Northeast Florida areas.
What is the weight limit for a 15 yard dumpster?
The weight limit for a 15 yard dumpster at 904 Dumpster is 4,000 pounds (2 tons), included in the $325 flat rate. This is sufficient for most renovation projects, roofing tear-offs, and medium-sized cleanouts. If you exceed 2 tons, an overage fee of $75 per additional ton applies. For heavy materials like concrete, brick, or dirt, call us for heavy debris pricing guidance.
How long can I keep a 15 yard dumpster?
The standard rental period for a 15 yard dumpster at 904 Dumpster is 5 days, included in the $325 price. Extensions are available at $15 per additional day if your project runs longer. Most Jacksonville homeowners complete kitchen remodels and roofing projects within the 5-day window. For longer-term construction projects, ask about our weekly rates.
Is a 15 yard dumpster big enough for a kitchen remodel?
Yes, a 15 yard dumpster is the ideal size for a full kitchen remodel in most Jacksonville homes. It comfortably holds old cabinets, countertops, flooring, drywall, appliances, and fixtures from a standard kitchen renovation. The 4.5-foot walls are low enough to toss heavy debris over the side without a ladder, and the rear swing door allows walk-in loading for bulky items like dishwashers and vanities.
What items cannot go in a 15 yard dumpster?
Prohibited items include wet paint (must be dried with sand or kitty litter), batteries, hazardous chemicals, tires, appliances containing freon (refrigerators and AC units), electronics (TVs, computers), and medical waste. These items must be taken to the Duval County Household Hazardous Waste facility. All common construction debris, furniture, yard waste, and household junk are accepted.
