Choosing the Right Dumpster Size for Your Home Project

Home renovation projects, garage cleanouts, and landscaping overhauls can generate more waste than you might expect. That’s where a reliable dumpster rental makes all the difference. At Macomb Dumpster Rental, we offer fast, affordable 10-yard and 20-yard dumpsters throughout Macomb County—and we help you pick the right size based on your exact needs.

Why Size Matters

Choosing the wrong dumpster size can lead to overage charges, additional hauls, or wasted space. A too-small dumpster fills up too quickly and delays your project. A too-large dumpster means you may be paying for unused space. That’s why we always recommend starting with your project type.

Common Uses for a 10-Yard Dumpster

Our 10-yard dumpsters are ideal for:

Small remodeling projects (like bathrooms)
Basement or garage cleanouts
Yard debris from seasonal maintenance
Roofing jobs (shingles, underlayment)

They fit in most driveways and hold approximately 3 pickup truck loads of material.

When to Choose a 20-Yard Dumpster

For larger cleanups, our 20-yard dumpsters are best suited for:

Kitchen renovations
Multi-room cleanouts
Deck or shed removals
Large-scale yard work or tree removals

These hold roughly 6 pickup truck loads of material and give you more flexibility without being oversized.
