These photos are from actual jobs completed by McKenzie Empire. They show examples of household cleanout, renovation, demolition, and debris loading work. Every project is different, so what fits in a 15-yard dumpster depends on the material, volume, loading, and weight.

Think about both volume and weight

A 15-yard dumpster can be a practical option for many medium-sized cleanouts and renovation projects, but the right fit depends on the material and how it is loaded. Bulky furniture uses space quickly; dense debris can reach the weight allowance before the container looks full. Concrete, brick, soil, and similar heavy material need a separate quote.

Because every project is different, share photos or a clear item list when requesting an estimate. Do not rely on a generic truckload count to predict the final volume or weight.

Projects to discuss when requesting a quote

  • A garage, basement, attic, or room cleanout.

  • A small-to-medium home renovation with approved debris.

  • A shed or other small demolition cleanup, after confirming material and scope.

  • A household project where you want to load over several days.

Know the rental limits before filling it

The $515 starting price includes up to one ton and three days. Additional weight is $275 per ton over one ton, prorated from the disposal scale ticket; an additional day is $15. Mattresses, tires, TVs, and refrigerators require advance approval and separate charges. Propane tanks, paints, and oils are not accepted.

Describe your project and request a dumpster rental quote. For a crew to do the lifting and hauling, compare our junk removal and cleanout services.
