The 15 yard container in Jackson
The 15 yard is the step up from the 10 when the job is one big room, not one small one. Kitchen remodels are the classic fit — cabinets, counters, flooring and the drywall behind it — and so is a whole-house carpet or laminate change-out, or a small deck or wood fence coming down. It holds roughly 80 to 100 standard 33-gallon bags.
It is short enough for most driveways from Clinton to Brandon without blocking the garage, and the walls are low enough to load over the side without a ramp. If you are between a 10 and a 20 and the stuff is light and bulky, this is usually where you land.
Kitchens, floors, fences and single-room remodels
A kitchen makes more debris than people expect: by the time the cabinets, the backsplash and the subfloor are out, a 10 is tight and a 15 is right. Flooring jobs are the same — tile out of a three-bedroom house is heavy and awkward, and the 15 gives you the length to lay it flat.
Backyard jobs are the other regular. Old wood fences, small decks, a landscaping refresh, branches and shrubs after a storm — cut the long boards down and they stack along the bed. Dense loads are the exception: if more than half of it is tile, plaster or concrete, call us — the 10 yard may save you the overage.
Weight on a 15 yard
Two to three tons is included, depending on the material. Tile, plaster, roofing and wet yard waste add up fast, so for a heavy flooring or roofing job we estimate the weight from your square footage or roof squares and tell you up front whether it fits. Light demo — cabinets, drywall, carpet — never gets near the line. Do not mix dirt or concrete in with household junk without checking with us first.
Suitability
Is the 15 yard the right size for you?
Rough working figures. Weight, not volume, is what usually decides.
Choose the 15 yard for
- Kitchen or bath remodel including cabinets and counters
- Whole-house carpet, laminate or tile tear-out
- Small deck or wood fence removal
- Two-room, move-out or estate cleanout
- Yard and storm debris — branches, shrubs, green waste
Pick a different size for
- Whole-house renovation — go to the 20 or 30
- Loads that are mostly tile, plaster or concrete (weight — use a 10)
- Commercial build-outs
- Anything hazardous: paint, solvents, chemicals, fuel, batteries, tires
Placing a 15 yard container on a Jackson-area property
It needs about 60 feet of straight, level run for the truck and 25 feet of overhead clearance. On your own driveway or lot in Jackson we found no City permit for a roll-off; in a street, alley or sidewalk the City Code makes containers unlawful (Sec. 110-61) unless building work has the City's written authorization for part of the street (Sec. 110-21). Other cities have their own rules — Ridgeland bans containers in streets, Madison keeps temporary storage units on the driveway. Check your HOA too: some covenants cover containers in driveways. Boards go under the rails on request. Each town page covers its own code.

Answers
15 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
How big is a 15 yard dumpster?
About 16 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 4.5 feet high. It fits most driveways and still gives you four to five pickup loads of room.
Will it fit in my driveway?
It needs about 16 feet of container length and a straight approach of about 60 feet for the truck. Most driveways have room. If you are in a subdivision with an HOA, check its covenants on containers before you book.
Can I keep it longer than a week?
Yes. The standard rental is 7 days and extensions are a small daily or weekly fee — just tell us before the scheduled pickup.
What is the weight limit?
Two to three tons is included, depending on what is going in. Dense material like tile, plaster or wet green waste can push past that, so tell us what it is and we will estimate it on the phone.
