Placement & clearance
The delivery truck needs a clear, firm, level spot with room to set and retrieve the container:
Length
~22'Container plus truck clearance
Width
~16'Container plus side clearance
Overhead
~20'For the truck’s lift arm
Driveways can be protected with boards. Street placement may need a municipal permit — we confirm this on your quote.
Weight & heavy debris
This size includes a typical allowance of 2–3 tons (4,000–6,000 lbs). Weight, not volume, is usually the real limit:
- Dense material — concrete, brick, dirt, asphalt — hits the weight cap while the box still looks half full.
- Overage beyond the included tonnage is billed per ton; we flag this when heavy debris is involved.
- Tell us your debris type so the right container and tonnage are matched on your quote.

Pricing
What a 15-yard typically costs

15-Yard questions
Is a 15-yard good for roofing?
Yes — a 15-yard handles a single-layer tear-off up to about 1,200–1,500 sq ft. Shingles are heavy, so this size balances volume against the weight limit well. Some areas add a roofing-disposal surcharge, which we confirm on your quote.
How much flooring fits?
Roughly 2,000–3,000 sq ft of carpet, laminate, hardwood, or tile — enough for a multi-room or whole-floor replacement.
When should I size up to a 20-yard?
If you’re combining rooms, doing a whole-home remodel, or expect more than ~5 pickup loads of debris, the 20-yard’s extra volume usually beats paying for a second haul.
