Why a 15-Yard Dumpster Is the Perfect Size for Homeowners in Central Arkansas

When you're cleaning out your garage, decluttering before a move, or finally tackling that DIY remodel, one question always pops up: “What size dumpster do I really need?”

We get it. You don’t want to overpay for a massive container or run out of space halfway through a project. That’s why for most residential jobs in Central Arkansas, our 15-yard dumpster is the Goldilocks of dumpster sizes — not too big, not too small… just right.

📏 What Fits in a 15-Yard Dumpster?

Our 15-yard roll-off can hold roughly:

  • 4.5 pickup truck loads of debris
  • Up to 2 tons of material (that’s about 4,000 lbs!)

Common items that easily fit:

  • Furniture (couch, recliner, mattress)
  • Boxes of junk from attic, closets, garage
  • Cabinets, drywall, carpet from a small remodel
  • Yard debris, fencing, or even a small shed

It’s great for homeowners because it’s roomy enough to handle a real project, but compact enough to fit comfortably in a standard driveway without blocking everything.

🧹 Perfect For These Home Projects:

  • ✅ Garage Cleanouts
  • ✅ Spring Cleaning
  • ✅ Downsizing / Moving
  • ✅ Kitchen or Bathroom Remodels
  • ✅ Yard Cleanups & Storm Debris
  • ✅ Estate Clear-outs or Hoarding Situations

If you’re not doing full-home demolition or replacing a roof, a 15-yarder is almost always enough.

🛻 Why Bigger Isn't Always Better

Homeowners sometimes think they need a 20- or 25-yard dumpster “just in case.” But if your project is average-sized, a larger container:

  • 💸 Costs more
  • 🚫 Takes up more space
  • ♻️ May tempt you to toss items you should donate or recycle

A 15-yard dumpster helps you keep costs and clutter under control.

🤝 Flat-Rate, No Surprise Pricing

At Little Bit Trashy, our 15-yard dumpsters come with:

  • Flat-rate pricing (no confusing weight math)
  • 2 tons included
