Popular Uses for a 15 Yard Dumpster
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.
