15 Yard Dumpster Rental Lancaster PA

Specifications
The 15 yard at a glance
Dimensions
16 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high
Capacity
15 cubic yards — about 4–5 pickup truck loads
Weight included
2–3 tons in the flat rate
Driveway space needed
About 20 ft long × 10 ft wide, plus door swing
Standard rental runs 7 days on every size, and debris needs to stay below the container's top rail so the driver can haul it safely — that applies whether it lands on a driveway or, with a City of Lancaster right-of-way permit through the Bureau of Engineering, 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 is also the second of the two sizes — alongside the 10 — rated to take concrete, dirt, brick and tile. 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 feet long by 7.5 feet wide by 4.5 feet high it handles roughly four to five 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 yard and landscaping debris, it is usually the box that does the actual work without paying for space you will not use. Pennsylvania has banned leaf waste from landfills since 1990, so grass, leaves and brush need a dedicated, separated container rather than getting mixed into general trash — a 15 kept as a clean green-waste-only load is exactly the setup that supports that. Tell us on the phone if that describes your pile and we will route it accordingly. The 15 still sits comfortably on most Lancaster driveways, whether that is a compact city lot or the more open frontage you get out toward Lititz or Manheim.
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 is 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 tile in a bit more volume than a 10 will carry
- Kitchen or bathroom remodels including cabinetry
- Medium roof tear-offs
- Yard and landscaping debris, kept separate under PA's leaf-waste landfill ban
- Typical Lancaster-area driveways with room to spare
- Jobs where a 10 is tight but a 20 would sit half-empty

How it sizes up against the others
Same flat pricing model across all five. The real question is which weight allowance matches your material — heavy debris, roofing, or a construction phase.

| 20 Yard Dumpster | 22 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4.5 ft high | about 6 pickup truck loads | 3–4 tons | Whole-home cleanouts, flooring and siding jobs, large tear-offs, drywall and remodel debris. |

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 Lancaster-area driveways with room to spare, which is part of why it is one of our most requested sizes.
Can I put concrete, dirt, brick or tile in a 15 yard dumpster?
Yes — the 15 is the second, and last, size rated for heavy material. Concrete, dirt, brick and tile 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, and the 15 is one of the two sizes — with the 20 — that suit yard waste best. Pennsylvania has banned leaf waste from landfills since 1990, so grass, leaves and brush need to stay out of general trash disposal as a separated load. Tell us it is mostly a yard-waste pile when you call and we will keep it as its own clean load rather than mixing it into a construction haul.
Do I need a permit for a 15 yard dumpster in my driveway?
No. A driveway placement never needs a permit. Only a public street or sidewalk placement does, and inside the City of Lancaster that is a Bureau of Engineering right-of-way permit we pull before delivery if that is genuinely the only spot available.
