The 15-yard dumpster is the size most homeowners land on for a single-room remodel, a garage cleanout, or a mid-size yard project. It measures roughly 14 feet long by 8 feet wide and stands about 3.5 feet tall, so the walls stay low enough to toss debris over by hand instead of hauling everything up a tall lip. On a standard Willow Glen or Rose Garden driveway, it takes up about the footprint of one parked car, which leaves room to still get in and out.
Pick the 15-yard over the 10-yard when your job is more than one small room, a kitchen tear-out, a bathroom plus flooring, or a full garage in Cambrian Park or Naglee Park. Step up to the 20-yard ($795) if you are gutting a whole floor or clearing a large Almaden Valley or Silver Creek Valley property, since the extra five yards costs only $45 more and beats renting a second bin. If you are doing a quick closet purge or a small Japantown apartment cleanout, the 10-yard ($695) is usually enough.
Because our pricing is flat, the $750 is the number, we do not weigh the load at the transfer station and mail you a surprise. That matters most on heavy debris. Tile, plaster, and dirt add up fast, and companies that quote low often bill the weight later. Here the tonnage is baked in, so a 15-yard of drywall and flooring from an Evergreen remodel is the same $750 as a lighter furniture-and-boxes load from a Berryessa move-out.
Placement is simple. We set the bin flat on your driveway or a paved apron, and boards under the wheels keep the surface clean on steep Alum Rock or hillside Almaden lots. If access near San Jose State University or a tight Rose Garden street is a concern, tell us the width when you book and we plan the drop. Santa Clara County and city rules may require a permit if the dumpster sits on a public street rather than private property, ask us and we will point you the right way.
