For reference, a typical 8 ft x 10 ft wood shed with a gable roof can consist of around 100 2x4 and 2x6 boards for the frame in addition to roof trusses, siding, flooring, trim, hardware, window(s), and shingles.
\r\n\r\n
Needless to say, that’s a lot of debris to dispose of, and usually a Bagster or equivalently-sized bag dumpster won’t cut it for this project.
Which Dumpster Size is Best for Shed Demolition Debris?
\r\n\r\n
Average size sheds are generally 8 ft x 8 ft, 8 ft x 10 ft, or 10 ft x 12 ft.
\r\n\r\n
A 10 yard dumpster will accommodate most shed demolition projects, oftentimes with room to spare, especially if you take care when loading the debris.
\r\n\r\n
Many dumpster rental companies offer other similar options, too, like 12 yard and 15 yard dumpsters or trailer dumpsters.
\r\n\r\n
The cost of these dumpsters generally ranges from $250 to $450 depending on where you live.
\r\n\r\n
Shed demolition debris is allowed in roll-off dumpsters and not your curbside trashcan, so avoid putting lumber, roofing material, or metal scraps in your curbside trash container.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
When booking the dumpster, be sure to tell the dumpster rental provider(s) you speak to about your project, the types of debris you'll be disposing of, and how much.
Browse companies serving your area, read customer reviews, and easily request dumpster rental quotes from multiple companies, and use the tips above to make a more informed decision next time you rent a dumpster.
Determine the correct dumpster size for your shed demolition project and keep these important tips in mind when removing a shed and renting a dumpster to accommodate the debris.

Between Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and being unable to resist the urge to buy new decor, the holidays are typically a time when we're bringing more stuff into our home than we're taking out.
\r\n\r\n
By the time the new year rolls around, you're probably already looking forward to spring cleaning.
\r\n\r\n
On top of that, the holidays often bring visiting family, get togethers with friends, and more hosting than you're typically used to.
\r\n\r\n
Before you let the holiday clutter bog you down, follow this guide to declutter, get organized, decorate to impress, and discover the best ways to streamline it all.
If you haven't already, it's time to swap out your spring/summer clothes with your fall/winter gear.
\r\n\r\n
Having two separate wardrobes that you can pack away after the season changes allows you to...
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Have more space in your closets/dressers
\r\n\t
Find clothing you actually want to wear much easier
\r\n\t
Have space for new pieces you might accumulate over the upcoming season
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
While you're packing away your warmer weather clothes, set aside items that you rarely touched over the past season. Whether you have pieces that no longer fit, have gone out of style, or they're falling apart at the seams, get rid of these items before you pack up your summer wardrobe.
\r\n\r\n
Similarly, while you're unboxing your winter clothes, set apart any items that you know you'll likely not wear often or at all this upcoming season.
\r\n\r\n
Doing this periodically throughout the year helps keep your wardrobe manageable so that you can easily access the clothes you actually wear as well as free up valuable storage space that can be used for new items that you purchase or are gifted during the holidays.
\r\n\r\n
Step 2: Declutter Unwanted and Unused Items
\r\n\r\n
In the same vein, organizing and decluttering the storage space in your home before the holidays is a great way to clear up space for any new items you'll be acquiring over the holiday season.
\r\n\r\n
A clean, organized house does wonders to relieve day-to-day stresses and improve the overall safety of your home, which is perfect for what many consider a stressful time of year.
\r\n\r\n
Follow the \"6 month rule\" when you're struggling to determine what is worth hanging on to and what is better off donated or tossed in the trash.
\r\n\r\n
The 6 month rule is a general guideline for decluttering that indicates it's best practice to get rid of anything that you haven't used in the last 6 months (other than seasonal items, in which case you can extend the timeframe to 1 year).
\r\n\r\n
In most circumstances, if you haven't used an item in 6 months, it's not worth hanging on to.
\r\n\r\n
Another great rule of thumb is the \"in-and-out rule\", which states that every time you bring a new item into the home, remove an old one.
If you plan on hosting this holiday season, take advantage of contractors' slow season and finish up your interior projects before you invite guests over.
\r\n\r\n
Winter tends to be the slow season for demo contractors, so if you've previously put any projects on pause, consider tackling these projects before the holidays arrive.
\r\n\r\n
When we host the holidays, we spend so much time in the kitchen to prepare. Why not get the upgrades you've had your eye on and enjoy the space you're doing it in?
\r\n\r\n
Or, if you've been thinking about investing in new flooring, take advantage of Black Friday deals!
Step 4: Hire Junk Removal Services or Rent a Dumpster
\r\n\r\n
If you only have a bag or two worth of items to get rid of, dropping it off at a donation center or tossing it in your regular trash should be sufficient.
\r\n\r\n
When you have large amounts of junk to get rid of or heavy, bulky items that aren't easily removed, hiring professional services will be the best option for a stress-free declutter.
\r\n\r\n
Junk removal companies often haul away furniture, old appliances, e-waste, demo debris, and bulk amounts of junk and are able to do so within a matter of minutes.
\r\n\r\n
If you have 7 cubic yards or more worth of stuff to part ways with, renting a dumpster will likely be a more cost-efficient option, given you are able to do the heavy lifting and loading on your own.
\r\n\r\n
When you need large disposal solutions, find reputable professionals in your area by searching on Hometown.
\r\n\r\n
We publish locally-owned companies across the U.S. to help consumers connect with qualified junk removal and dumpster rental providers who offer great customer service and don't overcharge.
\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n
Getting multiple quotes to compare pricing and availability is easy, free, and can be done within a matter of minutes!

Medium size dumpsters, like 15 cubic yard roll-off containers, work well for many types of cleanups.
\r\n\r\n
Because of its compact size, it’s an ideal choice for residential use, including small demolition projects, roofing, garage cleanouts, whole-home flooring removal, renovation, additions, and more.
As with any container size, dimensions will vary by dumpster rental provider.
\r\n\r\n
If a small container is essential in your situation—for example, if you have limited space for dumpster placement—then be sure to ask for accurate measurements when you call the dumpster rental company.
\r\n\r\n
Common 15 yard dumpster dimensions:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
16 ft x 7.5 ft x 4.5 ft (L x W x H)
\r\n\t
15 ft x 8 ft x 4 ft (L x W x H)
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
The footprint of a 15 yard dumpster is about the size of a minivan, and their compact footprint makes them hugely beneficial when space is limited.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Some dumpster rental companies offer uniquely-sized dumpsters, including 15 yarders, designed specifically for residential use.
\r\n\r\n
These types of bins maximize volume by having tall sides, which helps keep the overall length of the container as short as possible.
\r\n\r\n
How Much Does a 15 Yard Dumpster Cost?
\r\n\r\n
Expect to pay $300 or more for a 7-day rental, depending on where you live.
\r\n\r\n
Its cost falls between that of a 10 yard and 20 yard dumpster.
\r\n\r\n
The cost of a 15 yard dumpster is generally not more than $20 - $40 more than a 10 yarder, so it’s a great way to get substantially more loading capacity for just a few extra dollars.
It can be difficult to find a local waste hauling company offering 15 yard bins, as 10 and 20 yard dumpsters are more common.
\r\n\r\n
If your project needs a bit more loading capacity than a 10 yarder can manage, but not necessarily as much as a 20 yarder, you may need to check with various waste haulers in your area to find a 15 yard roll-off available near you.
\r\n\r\n
Hometown can help connect you with providers in your area that are licensed, insured, and reputable.
\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n
You'll be able to find out more about the different dumpster sizes they offer, their pricing, the level of customer service they provide, and their availability so that you can choose the best company for your project.
15 yard dumpsters work well for all kinds of medium-size jobs. Learn all about 15 yard dumpster dimensions, weight limits, average costs, and when it's the right choice.
Some dumpster providers recycle and some don’t. In recent years, recycling efforts have picked up drastically and so an increasing number of roll-off rental companies are starting to offer recycling services. The best way to ensure your debris is recycled is to first ask if it’s offered. If it is offered, you’ll need to keep recyclables in a separate dumpster. For example, concrete debris should go in one dumpster and non-recyclables in another. Loads that are not recyclable will go to local municipal landfills, C&D landfills, or waste-to-energy plants.
\r\n\r\n
How does renting a larger dumpster save money?
\r\n\r\n
It’s very difficult to accurately estimate how much your debris or junk is going to weigh and how much volume it will consume inside a dumpster. While dumpster rental companies are remarkably good at helping you choose the right size dumpster for the job, it’s still just an educated guess. For this reason, it may be a more cost-effective strategy to go with a slightly larger container than you think you may need. The extra $50 to $100 in rental fees may in fact be less expensive compared to the potential overage charges incurred if you go over the weight limit on a smaller size dumpster. Overage charges generally range from $75 to $100 per ton but can be more than that in some instances. Going with a bigger container is also cheaper in situations where you rent a bin that’s slightly too small to complete the job and so you end up renting another. For example: You rent a 10-yard container for a home cleanup and it turns out there are about 15 yards of debris. You may have paid $250 for the rental but now you’ll need to pay an additional $250 to rent a second 10 yard dumpster to complete the job. If you have rented a 20 yard roll-off in the first place for $350-$400, you would’ve saved a substantial amount of money – not to mention time. Learn more about dumpster rental prices. (The prices in this example are for informational purposes only and your local rates may vary.)
