The 15 yard container in Arvada, CO
The 15 yard dumpster is our most popular mid-range size, and it earns that spot by splitting the difference well: it's still narrow and low enough to load by hand, but the extra two feet of length and a foot of height over the 10 yard adds up to noticeably more room. Arvada homeowners tackling a kitchen remodel, a full bathroom-plus-hallway renovation, or a whole-house declutter before listing a property tend to land here.
It's also the size we recommend most often for a single-layer asphalt shingle roof tear-off on an average Denver-metro home, since shingles are heavy and this container's 2-3 ton allowance gives you room to work without hitting overage fees on a typical job. Estate cleanouts are another common fit, since a 15 yard can absorb furniture, boxes, and household goods from most of a house without needing multiple swaps.
If you're weighing this against the 10 or 20 yard, our sizing guide breaks down the trade-offs, or you can call (720) 627-6880 and describe the project and we'll recommend a size based on what similar Denver-metro jobs have needed.
Where the 15 Yard Shines
This size hits a sweet spot for residential remodels that involve more than one room, and it's a common choice for roofing dumpster rental jobs on ranch-style and split-level homes common around Arvada. It also handles most estate cleanout projects for a two- to three-bedroom home, particularly when family members have already pulled out items they want to keep and what's left is destined for disposal or donation.
When 15 Yards Isn't Enough
Full-home renovations, additions, or roofs with multiple layers of shingles usually push past 15 yards of debris. If your project checks any of those boxes, the 20 yard is the safer starting point, and it avoids the cost and delay of ordering a second container mid-project.

Placing a 15 yard container on an Arvada-area property
At about 16 feet long, the 15 yard still fits comfortably in most Arvada driveways, though corner lots and shorter driveways near Olde Town sometimes need the container angled toward the street rather than parked lengthwise. Our drivers scout placement on arrival, but it helps to have roughly 22 feet of clear approach and to know in advance whether your HOA requires a permit for street placement. Give us the address when you call (720) 627-6880 and we can flag any known restrictions for your neighborhood before delivery day.

Answers
15 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
What's the difference between the 10 and 15 yard dumpster?
The 15 yard is about 2 feet longer and a foot taller, which works out to roughly 50% more volume and an extra ton of included weight. If your project involves more than one room or a full roof tear-off, the 15 yard is usually worth the upgrade.
Can a 15 yard dumpster handle a roof tear-off?
Yes, for a single layer of asphalt shingles on an average Denver-metro home, the 15 yard is our most common recommendation. If your roof has two or more layers of shingles or is larger than about 2,500 square feet, ask us about the 20 yard instead.
How many tons of debris can I put in a 15 yard dumpster?
The base rental includes 2 to 3 tons. Heavier materials like shingles, tile, or wet debris add up faster than lighter household junk, so if you're unsure, describe the project when you call (720) 627-6880 and we'll estimate the likely weight.
Is the 15 yard a good size for an estate cleanout?
For most 2 to 3 bedroom homes, yes. It comfortably handles furniture, boxes, and household goods once family members have removed items being kept or donated. Larger homes or heavily furnished properties sometimes need the 20 yard.
