What size dumpster do you actually need?
For a garage cleanout or small bathroom remodel take the 10-yard; for a whole-home cleanout or kitchen remodel take the 20-yard, which is the size most households end up needing. Go to the 30-yard only for construction, major renovations or estate clearouts.
Size by job
10-yard — garage cleanout, small bathroom remodel, yard debris. Roughly 3 pickup loads.
15-yard — flooring tear-out, roofing up to about 20 squares, a medium cleanout. Worth asking for: several national brokers skip this size entirely, while local suppliers here stock it.
20-yard — whole-home cleanout, kitchen remodel, deck removal. The one most people need.
30-yard — construction, major renovation, estate clearouts.
When to size up
Going one size up is almost always cheaper than needing a second can. Each step up tends to add $40 to $80 to a local quote, while a second delivery costs you the whole delivery again.
For heavy material the opposite applies — a smaller can you can fill to the tonnage limit beats a big one you cannot legally load.
