15-Yard Dumpster Rental New Bedford MA
Looking for a mid-size dumpster that’s large enough for serious cleanup but compact enough to fit comfortably in a standard New Bedford driveway? The 15-yard roll-off dumpster from Bedford Bros Dumpster Rental New Bedford is the perfect choice. It’s ideal for multi-room cleanouts, kitchen or bathroom remodels, flooring removal, roofing tear-offs, yard waste, and moderate construction debris. It offers the right combination of size, capacity, and price for most home and small contracting projects across the SouthCoast.
What Is a 15-Yard Dumpster?
A 15-yard dumpster holds 15 cubic yards of debris—the equivalent of:
- About 4–5 pickup truck loads, or
- Roughly 80–100 standard 33-gallon bags
It’s taller than a 10-yard, not as long as a 20-yard, and often the perfect “in-between” size for residential and light commercial jobs in New Bedford.
- Typical dimensions: 16′ L × 7.5′ W × 4.5′ H
- Standard weight allowance: Usually 2–3 tons depending on debris
- Driveway friendly: Fits most New Bedford residential driveways without blocking garage access or street traffic
Is a 15-Yard Dumpster Right for My Project?
Choose a 15-yard dumpster when you need real capacity without jumping to a larger, more expensive container. Common New Bedford use cases include:
| Project Type | Typical Loads | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen/Bath Remodels | Cabinets, tile, drywall, fixtures | Lower height makes loading easier |
| Multi-Room Cleanouts | Furniture, mattresses, clutter | Perfect for move-outs and estate cleanouts |
| Flooring Replacement | Carpet, laminate, tile | Tile is heavy—weight can add up quickly |
| Roofing (Light/Medium) | Shingles, felt, scraps | Ask us for a shingle weight estimate |
| Yard Waste & Storm Debris | Branches, shrubs, leaves | Great for post-storm cleanup |
| Small Decks/Fences | Wood, posts, hardware | Break down long boards to maximize space |
If your debris is mostly dense (tile, plaster, brick, concrete), a 10-yard may be more cost-effective due to weight limits. If you’re tackling a larger project across multiple rooms, a 20-yard may be the better fit.

Weight & Loading Guidance (Avoid Overages)
- Plan by weight—not just space. Tile, roofing, plaster, and wet yard debris add weight fast.
- Load evenly. Distribute debris front-to-back and side-to-side.
- Stay below the top rail. We must tarp the dumpster before transporting it.
- Heavy debris rule: If more than half your load is dense (tile, brick, concrete), the 10-yard might be more cost-efficient.
Need help estimating weight?
We can calculate it for you based on roofing squares, flooring square footage, or yard volumes—just call (508) 501-1638.
