Which Dumpster Size to Rent in Dandridge

The 20-yard is our workhorse and the box we run most, and it fits on a residential driveway just fine. We also keep one 15-yard, the original dumpster the company started with, that rents out when it's not on a job, so it's first come, first served. Both boxes share the same 15-foot-long, 8-foot-wide footprint. The 20 is just a foot taller, 4.25 feet versus 3.5.

A 15-yard holds about 5 to 6 pickup truck loads. The 20-yard holds about 7 to 8. And here's the honest math: the 20-yard 3-day rental at $375 is our lowest price, less than the 15-yard's $450 for 7 days. So unless you specifically want the lower walls and a full week, the bigger box is usually the cheaper call.

Where weight matters more than space

Every rental includes up to 1 ton of weight. Bulky but light stuff like furniture, cardboard, and insulation fills the box before it hits the weight limit. Dense stuff like shingles, plaster, tile, and wet wood hits the weight limit before the box looks full. Our what-goes-in list covers the materials themselves.

For roof tear-offs, weight is the whole game. A single layer of architectural shingles runs about 325 pounds per square. That's why we built the shingle weight calculator. If you're still unsure, call or text Jason at (865) 352-1889 with what you're working on. He'll size it in one minute.
