15-Yard Dumpster Rental Joliet IL
Looking for the perfect mid size dumpster that is big enough for serious cleanups but compact enough for a standard driveway? The 15 yard roll off dumpster from Forge Dumpster Rental Joliet is the ideal solution for multi room cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, flooring projects, roofing tear offs, and yard waste. It offers the best balance of capacity, footprint, and price for most Joliet homeowners and contractors.
What Is a 15-Yard Dumpster
A 15 yard dumpster holds 15 cubic yards of debris which is about 4 to 5 pickup truck loads or roughly 80 to 100 standard 33 gallon trash bags. It is taller than a 10 yard and shorter than a 20 yard, making it the perfect middle ground.
- Typical dimensions are about 16 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 4.5 feet high.
- Standard weight allowance is usually 2 to 3 tons depending on debris type and location.
- Driveway friendly and fits most Joliet residential driveways without blocking garage access.
Is a 15-Yard Dumpster Right for My Project
A 15 yard dumpster is ideal when you want one container that handles a real cleanup without paying for unnecessary extra space. Common Joliet projects include:
| Common Dumpster Projects |
|---|
| Kitchen and bathroom remodels for cabinets, tile, and drywall |
| Multi room cleanouts with furniture, boxes, and mattresses |
| Flooring replacement including carpet, laminate, and tile |
| Light to medium roofing jobs with shingles and felt |
| Yard and storm debris like branches, shrubs, and green waste |
| Small deck and fence removal |
If you are disposing of mostly dense materials such as tile, plaster, or concrete, a 10 yard dumpster may be more cost effective. If you have bulky items or a full home renovation, consider upgrading to a 20 yard dumpster.
What Can Go in a 15-Yard Dumpster
Accepted materials include:
- Drywall, wood, trim, doors, and windows
- Cabinets, countertops, and vanities
- Carpet, pad, laminate, and tile
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Furniture and general household junk
- Yard waste such as branches, shrubs, and leaves

15-Yard vs Other Dumpster Sizes
- If you need something smaller, choose a 10 yard for heavy debris in tight spaces.
- If you need more room, choose a 20 yard for larger remodels or roofing projects.
- For major renovations or commercial jobs, 30 or 40 yard dumpsters are better.

Weight and Loading Tips
- Plan by weight, not just volume. Tile, plaster, roofing, and wet yard waste get heavy fast.
- Load evenly from front to back and side to side.
- Keep all debris below the top rail so the tarp can close safely.
- If more than half of your load is heavy material, a 10 yard dumpster may help avoid overage fees.
Our team can estimate weight over the phone based on square footage or debris type.
