The most common question we get at Haggai Dump and Haul is simple: “What size dumpster do I need?” Order too small and you’ll pay for a second haul. Order too big and you’re paying for air. After more than a decade of deliveries around Griffin and Middle Georgia, here’s the honest guide we give our own customers.
The Quick Answer
- 13-yard dumpster — single-room cleanouts, garage or attic clear-outs, small bathroom remodels, yard debris
- 15-yard dumpster — the sweet spot for most homeowners: kitchen remodels, flooring tear-outs, medium cleanouts, roofing on smaller homes
- 20-yard dumpster — whole-home cleanouts, large renovations, construction debris, big roofing jobs
How to Picture Each Size
13-Yard: About 4 Pickup Truck Loads
A 13-yard roll-off holds roughly four full-size pickup beds of debris. It fits easily in a standard driveway. Choose this for decluttering projects, a single-room renovation, furniture and mattress disposal, or seasonal yard cleanup.
15-Yard: About 5 Pickup Truck Loads
Our most-rented size. It handles a full kitchen or bathroom remodel, carpet and flooring from an entire house, or a serious garage-plus-basement cleanout — while still sitting comfortably in a residential driveway. If you’re on the fence between sizes, the 15 is usually the right call.
20-Yard: About 7 Pickup Truck Loads
The workhorse for contractors and big projects: whole-home cleanouts and estate sales, additions and major renovations, roof tear-offs on larger homes, and construction sites. If you’re a contractor working around Griffin or McDonough, this is likely your size.
Three Mistakes That Cost People Money
- Guessing small to save money. A second dumpster costs far more than one size up would have. When in doubt, go bigger.
- Ignoring weight. Dense debris — shingles, concrete, dirt, tile — hits weight limits before the bin looks full. Tell us what you’re tossing and we’ll flag it upfront.
- Not asking what’s allowed. Standard bins can’t take tires, paint, chemicals, or batteries. Ask when you book and avoid surprise fees.
