15-Yard Dumpster Seattle

The 15-yard dumpster holds 15 cubic yards, equal to about 6 full pickup-truck loads, which covers the debris from a bathroom-and-kitchen remodel or a one-car garage cleanout in Greenwood or Wallingford. Its low 4-foot walls make loading heavy items, old cabinets, tile, a tub, easier than tossing them over the 6-foot side of a 30-yard roll-off. A 10-yard ($595) fits a single bathroom gut or a closet-sized cleanout; a 15-yard fits a full room; a 20-yard ($695) fits a whole-floor renovation. If you're estate-clearing a two-story Queen Anne home or tearing off a roof over 1,500 square feet, step up to the 20-yard or 30-yard ($795) instead, the trade-off is driveway space against debris volume, not price surprises, because every size is flat-rate.

Step 1: call (425) 270-4066 and describe the job or text a photo. Step 2: pick a size, our team will say if a 15-yard is right or if a cheaper 10-yard covers it. Step 3: we confirm the drop spot, usually a driveway or an approved street slot. Step 4: the roll-off arrives, you load it over as many days as your rental window allows. Step 5: we haul it to the transfer station and pay the disposal, included in the $650. A dumpster rental is not junk removal: you load it yourself, which is why the flat rate stays low.

Heavy debris matters most on a 15-yard. Dense material like concrete, dirt, brick, and roofing shingles weighs fast, so for a West Seattle patio demo or a Beacon Hill driveway tear-out, keep loads to the lower half and ask about a dedicated heavy-debris container when you call. Seattle requires a right-of-way permit when a dumpster sits on a public street rather than private property, check placement rules through the Seattle Department of Transportation before a container lands on a Capitol Hill block with no off-street parking. Lead paint, asbestos, car batteries, and other household hazardous waste are banned from any roll-off and must go to a King County hazardous-waste facility; wood, metal, and clean yard debris are fine. For recycling-eligible materials, Earth911 lists Seattle drop-off points for items a dumpster won't take, and the EPA's construction and demolition debris guidance explains why separating concrete and clean wood reduces landfill tonnage. Contractors loading a 15-yard on an active site should follow OSHA jobsite housekeeping rules to keep walkways clear around the container.
