15 Yard Dumpster Rental in Cottonwood Heights, UT
This is the container we talk more customers into than any other, and on an older bench or foothill home it is almost always the right call. Dense demolition debris reaches a weight limit long before it reaches a volume limit.
Specifications
- Dimensions14 ft long x 8 ft wide x 4.5 ft high
- Holds roughlyabout 4 to 5 pickup truck loads
- Weight included2 to 3 tons included
- Space neededroughly 50 to 60 ft of straight approach
What this size suits
- Interior demolition in older bench and foothill homes
- Plaster, lath, tile and dense renovation debris
- Single-layer roof tear-offs on an average home
- Basement finishes with dense material
- Garage and storage clearances
- Deck and small structure removal
Not the right choice for: Whole-house furniture clearances, where the material is bulky rather than dense and a 30 yard costs less per cubic yard.
The honest recommendation on older homes
A great deal of the older housing across the east bench, Holladay, Millcreek and the Sugar House-area neighborhoods was built with plaster over lath and heavy dimensional framing. Both are considerably heavier than modern drywall. A 20 yard filled with that material reaches its tonnage allowance at roughly two-thirds full, so you pay overage on space you were never able to use. The 15 yard, filled properly, costs less and moves the same debris.
A useful middle ground
It takes meaningfully more than a 10 yard while still fitting a normal residential driveway - including the tighter bench lots - and needing only a modest approach. For a single-room renovation including flooring and fixtures, this is usually the container that suits both the material and the site.
When to step up instead
If the debris is cabinets, carpet, decking, packaging or furniture - bulky and light - go to a 20 or 30. The 15 yard is a weight container, not a volume one, and using it for bulky material wastes the tonnage allowance you paid for.

(801) 346-611115 Yard Dumpster: common questions
Why do you keep recommending a 15 when I asked for a 20?
Because of what is going in it. If the load is plaster, tile, masonry or old framing, a 20 yard reaches its weight limit before it looks full and you pay overage. The 15 is usually cheaper for exactly the same amount of material removed.
Is a 15 yard enough for a kitchen remodel?
For a kitchen alone, generally yes, including cabinets, counters and flooring. If a bathroom is coming out in the same phase, step up to a 20.
Does an older bench home change the recommendation?
Often, yes. Older bench and foothill housing produces dense plaster and heavy framing, so the 15 yard filled properly is usually cheaper than a larger container that hits its weight limit early.
