15 yard
12 ft × 7½ ft × 5½ ft, 12,000 lb limit. Finish work, remodels, cleanouts and landscaping.
Bin sizes
Dumpster sizes: 15 and 30 yard roll off bins
Bear Services runs two sizes. Here are the real dimensions and weight limits for each, plus which one fits your job.
15 yard dumpster dimensions
12 feet long, 7½ feet wide and 5½ feet high, with a 12,000 lb weight limit. It's the bin for finish work like drywall, trim and flooring, kitchen and bath remodels, cleanouts, landscaping and small builds. It also takes up less room on a tight lot.
30 yard dumpster dimensions
22 feet long, 7½ feet wide and 6 feet high, with a 24,000 lb weight limit. It's the jobsite standard for framing scrap, siding, roofing tear offs, demolition, big cleanouts and commercial volume.
30 yard
22 ft × 7½ ft × 6 ft, 24,000 lb limit. Framing, roofing, demo and commercial volume.
How to pick a size
- Light, bulky debris like framing scrap, packaging and cleanout junk: size by space. The 30 yard holds twice as much.
- Heavy material like concrete, brick, asphalt and dirt: size by weight. Both bins hit their limit with only a few feet of it inside, so load part way and tell dispatch what's going in.
- Roofing: most tear offs go in the 30 yard, packed level.
- Not sure: call or text (801) 785-4494 with what you're throwing away and dispatch will size it.
Room for the truck
Either size needs a straight, fairly level run of about 60 feet for the truck to set the bin. A driveway, gravel pad or dirt lot all work.
How the size affects your bill
Delivery and removal includes the first ton, and the rest is billed on the scale weight of the load instead of a flat rate. Every load goes to the Five Mile Pass C&D landfill owned by our parent company Dunn Companies. Each bin gets 14 days on site before a daily fee starts. For what's allowed in the bin, see what can go in a dumpster.
Size questions

What are the dimensions of a 15 yard dumpster?
A Bear Services 15 yard bin is 12 feet long, 7½ feet wide and 5½ feet high, with a 12,000 lb weight limit.
What are the dimensions of a 30 yard dumpster?
Our 30 yard bin is 22 feet long, 7½ feet wide and 6 feet high, with a 24,000 lb weight limit.
What size dumpster do I need for a roof?
Most roofing tear offs go in the 30 yard. Shingles are heavier than they look, so pack them level and keep the load below the top of the bin.
How much weight can a dumpster hold?
12,000 lb in the 15 yard and 24,000 lb in the 30 yard. Light debris fills the bin long before that, while concrete, brick and dirt hit the limit with the bin only a few feet full.
