Whether you’re tackling a spring cleanout, remodeling a room, or just trying to reclaim your garage, renting a dumpster is one of the easiest ways to handle big messes. But if you’ve never rented a dumpster before, you might be asking: “What size dumpster do I actually need?” At Vaughn’s Refuse, we make the process simple with flexible sizing, fair pricing, and an easy rental experience from start to finish.
Let’s walk through your options, what each size is best for, and how Vaughn’s takes the guesswork out of your next cleanup project.
Understanding Dumpster Sizes
At Vaughn’s, we offer two types of dumpster rentals:
- A 20-yard dumpster – perfect for large projects like major renovations or full-home cleanouts.
- Our signature “one-size-fits-all” dumpster – with fill lines at 7, 10, and 15 yards, so you only pay for what you use.
Not sure how much space you’ll need? No problem. When you rent our flexible-size dumpster, you don’t have to commit to a size upfront. Just fill it up — and we’ll measure what you used and charge accordingly. This approach helps you save money and avoid overpaying for space you don’t need.
Quick Guide: What Size is Right for You?
Here’s a quick breakdown of each size and the types of projects they’re best suited for:

What You Can (and Can’t) Toss in a Dumpster

Common Items You CAN Toss:
- Old furniture and mattresses
- Construction debris
- Yard waste
- Appliances (with no refrigerants)
- Clothing, toys, and household junk
Items You Shouldn’t Toss:
- Paint, oil, and chemicals
- Tires
- Asbestos or hazardous waste

If you’re not sure, just ask — we’re happy to help clarify before your rental.
