Choosing the right size upfront saves money and prevents the frustration of running out of room mid-project. ## Start With the Scope Before you pick a size, take an honest look at what you're clearing. Walk through the space and estimate: how many rooms, how much furniture, how much accumulated stuff? This rough mental inventory makes size selection much easier. ## The 15-Yard: Right for Most Residential Cleanouts The 15-yard is our most popular size — and for good reason. At approximately 4–5 pickup truck loads of capacity, it handles: - A full two-car garage cleanout - A single-room or partial-home cleanout - A spring cleaning project - A small estate cleanout from a one-bedroom property - A pre-move declutter in a standard home The 15-yard also fits in most standard residential driveways, making it the most practical choice for the majority of homeowner projects. ## The 20-Yard: When You Need More Room Step up to the 20-yard when the project is bigger than one room or when you're clearing a home with significant accumulation: - Full three to four-bedroom home cleanout - Large estate cleanout from a long-term residence - Hoarder cleanout (may need multiple loads) - Whole-home estate sale post-cleanup - Major downsizing from a large property ## When in Doubt, Go Bigger If you're genuinely unsure between 15 and 20-yard, go with the 20-yard. The cost difference is modest compared to the hassle and expense of arranging a second container when you run out of room. A partially full 20-yard is far less frustrating than an overfull 15-yard with no room for the last 20% of the project. ## One Exception: Concrete and Dirt If your cleanout includes concrete, dirt, or rock from any source, that material must go in our 10-yard lowboy — not in a standard container. If you have both standard debris and heavy materials, we can arrange delivery of both sizes.
