15-Yard Dumpster Rental Rockford IL
Looking for the perfect mid-size dumpster that is large enough for serious cleanups but compact enough for a standard driveway? The 15-yard roll-off dumpster from Tate & Sons Dumpster Rental Rockford is the ideal solution. It is the right fit for multi-room cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, flooring projects, roofing tear-offs, and yard waste cleanup, offering the best balance of capacity, footprint, and cost. If you need more space than a small dumpster without jumping up to a larger container, the 15-yard option is often the smartest choice for Rockford homeowners and contractors.
What Is a 15-Yard Dumpster?
A 15-yard dumpster holds 15 cubic yards of debris, which equals approximately four to five pickup truck loads or about 80 to 100 standard 33-gallon trash bags. It is taller than a 10-yard dumpster, shorter than a 20-yard, and ideal when you need more than a small bin but do not want unused space.
- Typical dimensions are about 16 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 4.5 feet high.
- Standard weight allowance is usually two to three tons, depending on debris type and placement.
- Driveway friendly design fits most Rockford residential driveways without blocking garage access.
Is a 15-Yard Dumpster Right for My Project?
A 15-yard dumpster is a great option when you want one container that can handle a real cleanup without paying for extra capacity you do not need. Common Rockford use cases include:
| Project Type | Typical Materials |
|---|---|
| Kitchen and Bathroom Remodels | Cabinets, countertops, tile, and drywall |
| Multi-Room Cleanouts | Furniture, boxes, mattresses, and household clutter |
| Flooring Replacement | Carpet, padding, laminate, and tile |
| Roofing Projects (Light to Medium) | Shingles, felt paper, flashing, and scrap materials |
| Yard and Storm Debris | Branches, shrubs, leaves, and green waste |
| Small Deck or Fence Removal | Lumber, posts, and hardware |
If your debris is mostly dense materials like tile, plaster, or concrete, a 10-yard dumpster may be more cost-effective. If your project involves bulky materials across multiple rooms, stepping up to a 20-yard dumpster may be the better option.
15-Yard vs. Other Dumpster Sizes
- Smaller projects with heavy debris may be better suited for a 10-yard dumpster.
- Larger remodels or roofing projects may require a 20-yard dumpster.
- Major renovations and cleanouts often call for a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster.

If you are unsure about a specific item, call us and we will confirm what is allowed or guide you to the proper local disposal option.
Weight and Loading Guidance
Planning by weight is just as important as planning by volume. Flooring, tile, roofing materials, and wet yard waste can become heavy quickly.
- Load debris evenly from front to back and side to side.
- Keep all materials below the top fill line so the container can be hauled safely.
- If more than half of your load is dense material, contact us first. A smaller dumpster may help avoid overage fees.
Our team can estimate weight based on square footage, roofing squares, or yard waste volume and recommend the most cost-effective plan.
