Dumpster Size Guide for Kenosha, WI Homeowners

Picking a dumpster size is really about answering one question: is your load bulky or is it heavy? Volume and weight are two separate limits, and the material you are throwing away decides which one stops you first. Get that right and the size choice is easy.

The four sizes we run

We deliver 10, 15, 20 and 30 yard roll-offs. The number is the volume in cubic yards; each also has a weight allowance in tons, and heavy material hits that allowance long before the box is full.

10 yard — the heavy box

For concrete, brick, dirt, tile and roofing tear-offs. A 10 yard filled part way is the honest answer for anything dense, and it fits a tight Southport or Uptown driveway. Sizing up on heavy material just means paying for space you cannot legally fill.

15 and 20 yard — the workhorses

A 15 yard suits a kitchen remodel, a garage or basement cleanout, a small roof or a deck teardown. The 20 yard is where most whole-project jobs land — a full asphalt roof tear-off (up to about 30 squares), a whole-floor renovation, or a three-to-four-bedroom house cleanout.

30 yard — the volume box

Our largest, for whole-home renovations, full estate cleanouts, new construction and major storm debris. It needs a longer, clear straight approach, so on tight older streets we will confirm it fits before we load.

Driveway space

Roughly 22 feet of clear run for a 10, 26 for a 15, and 34 for a 20 or 30, plus room for the truck and about 23 feet of overhead clearance for the hoist. Low limbs and wires stop more deliveries than homeowners expect — mention them when you book.

Still not sure?

Describe the job — the rooms, the material, the roof squares — and we will tell you which container to book. Call (262) 300-5776.
