Published: March 26, 2025 | Tampa Bay Junkaneers

Not sure what dumpster size fits your Tampa Bay project? Picking the right one—10, 15, or 20 yards—saves hassle and keeps things smooth. Tampa Bay Junkaneers delivers across Riverview, Brandon, and St. Pete. Here’s how to choose the perfect size, no guesswork needed.

1. Small Jobs: 10-Yard Dumpster

Garage cleanouts or tiny renos? A 10-yard dumpster (about 3 pickup truck loads) handles it. Tampa homeowners tossing junk or contractors clearing minor debris—this fits tight spots like St. Pete driveways.

2. Medium Projects: 15-Yard Dumpster

Kitchen updates or roofing jobs? The 15-yard (5 truck loads) steps up. It takes sheetrock stacks or shingles from a Brandon reno without eating your whole site. Perfect for Tampa Bay DIYers and pros alike.

3. Big Hauls: 20-Yard Dumpster

Full-house purges or new construction? Go 20-yard (8 truck loads). This hauls demo debris, old furniture, or storm trash from Largo to Tampa. Contractors love it for big renos; homeowners, for post-storm resets.

4. Size Up Your Stuff

Still unsure? Picture it: 10 yards = one room’s mess, 15 yards = 2–3 rooms, 20 yards = half a house. Walk your Tampa site—count the piles. Tampa Bay Junkaneers can eyeball it for you too—just ask.
