Are you thinking about remodeling your Summerlin home? Whether you’re updating your kitchen, revamping your backyard, or decluttering your garage, home projects can generate a surprising amount of debris. Instead of making multiple trips to the landfill, renting a dumpster is the easiest and most efficient way to manage waste.

However, choosing the right dumpster size is crucial. A container that’s too small can lead to overflow, while an oversized dumpster may result in unnecessary rental costs. Below, we’ll help you determine the best dumpster size for your Summerlin home project so you can keep your cleanup hassle-free.

Why Dumpster Size Matters

Selecting the right dumpster size can significantly affect the success of your project. If you underestimate your debris volume, you may need an extra dumpster or additional hauls, which can increase costs. On the other hand, renting a dumpster that’s too large could mean overpaying for unused space.

Key factors to consider when choosing a dumpster size:

  • Project Scope: A minor cleanup requires far less space than a complete home renovation.
  • Types of Materials: Bulky materials like drywall and wood take up more room.
  • Space Available: Make sure there’s enough space on your driveway or property for the dumpster.
  • Weight Limits: Every dumpster has a weight capacity—exceeding it can result in additional fees.

Common Dumpster Sizes for Summerlin Home Projects

At Eclipse Waste Management, we offer a variety of dumpster sizes to fit your needs. Here’s a breakdown of the best options for residential projects:

1. 10-Yard Dumpster (Best for Small Cleanups)

  • Dimensions: ~12’L x 8’W x 3.5’H
  • Ideal for:
    • Minor bathroom or kitchen remodels
    • Small garage or attic cleanouts
    • Light landscaping projects

This compact size fits easily in most driveways and is perfect for more minor home improvements.

2. 20-Yard Dumpster (Great for Medium-Sized Projects)

  • Dimensions: ~22’L x 8’W x 4’H
  • Ideal for:
    • Kitchen or bathroom renovations
    • Deck removal (up to 300 sq. ft.)
    • Large decluttering projects

The 20-yard dumpster is the most popular option for homeowners because it balances space and affordability.

3. 30-Yard Dumpster (Best for Large Renovations)

  • Dimensions: ~22’L x 8’W x 6’H
  • Ideal for:
    • Whole-home cleanouts

How to Choose the Best Dumpster Size

If you’re unsure which dumpster size is right for your Summerlin home project, here are a few tips:

  • Estimate debris volume: Think about how much waste your project will generate. A home remodel will produce more debris than a simple decluttering project.
  • Consider rental duration: If your project will take multiple weeks, you might need a larger dumpster or scheduled pickups.
  • Ask for expert advice. A professional waste management company can help you select the best size for your needs.
