Debris needs to stay below the container's top rail on every size so our driver can haul it safely — that holds whether it lands on your driveway or, with a City of Columbus right-of-way permit, a public street.
Is this the one?
When the 15 yard is the right call
A 10 is often tight for a full garage or basement clearout; a 20 is more container than a single kitchen remodel needs. The 15 sits exactly in the gap, and it's also the second of the two sizes — alongside the 10 — rated to take concrete, dirt, brick and block. If your heavy debris runs a bit past what a 10 can carry, this is the next and last step up for that kind of material, not a 20 or a 30.
At 16 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high it handles about 4–5 pickup truck loads with a 2–3 ton allowance. For a mixed cleanout, a medium roof tear-off, a kitchen remodel with cabinetry coming out, or a yard and landscaping cleanup, it's usually the box that does the actual work without paying for space you won't use. Georgia law makes it illegal statewide to burn shingles, treated lumber or other manufactured material in a burn pile, so a 15 yard — not a backyard burn barrel — is the legal way to clear a roof tear-off or a spring yard cleanup along the river. The 15 also sits comfortably on the roomier lots you find in growing suburbs like Fortson and Midland, and just as easily on tighter, older streets closer to Columbus.
Straight advice: The size we suggest most often when somebody describes a packed garage or basement on the phone. It fits a normal driveway easily, it's the last stop for heavy material like concrete or brick, and debris still needs to stay below the top rail for us to haul it safely.
Ideal for
- Garage and basement cleanouts
- Concrete, dirt, brick and block in a bit more volume than a 10 will carry
- Kitchen or bathroom remodels including cabinetry
- Medium roof tear-offs — shingles can't legally go in a burn pile anywhere in Georgia
- Yard and landscaping debris, kept as its own clean load
- Typical Fortson and Midland driveways with room to spare
- Jobs where a 10 is tight but a 20 would sit half-empty

Answers
15 Yard Dumpster questions
What are the dimensions of a 15 yard dumpster?
About 16 ft long by 7.5 ft wide by 4.5 ft high. It sits comfortably on most Chattahoochee Valley driveways with room to spare, which is part of why it's one of our most requested sizes.
Can I put concrete, dirt, brick or block in a 15 yard dumpster?
Yes — the 15 is the second, and last, size rated for heavy material. Concrete, dirt, brick and block belong in a 10 or a 15 only. If the load is dense, a bigger container does not help; it just costs more to move around.
Can yard waste go in a 15 yard dumpster?
Yes. Keep it as its own clean, separated load rather than mixing it into a construction or remodel haul — remember Georgia law makes it illegal statewide to burn yard debris like shingles or treated wood, so a dumpster is the legal way to clear it, not a burn pile.
Do I need a permit for a 15 yard dumpster in my driveway?
No, in the great majority of cases — a driveway or private-property placement doesn't need a City of Columbus permit at all. Only a public street placement does, and we can point you to the Department of Engineering to confirm the details if that's genuinely the only spot available on your lot.
