A garage that has not been touched since the kids moved out holds more than you think. The good news: almost every garage cleanout we deliver for in Maryville, Alcoa, and Knoxville fits comfortably in a 15 yard dumpster. The trick is judging your pile honestly before delivery day.
Start with the pile, not the bin
Walk the garage and mentally drag everything into the driveway. A 15 yard bin holds about 4 to 5 pickup truck loads. If your mental pile is a single truck bed, a bin might be overkill. If it is wall-to-wall shelving, old furniture, and a broken treadmill, you are squarely in 15 yard territory.
When the 15 yard is enough
- Boxes, bagged clothes, and household junk
- A couch, mattress, or a few pieces of furniture
- Shelving, scrap lumber, and old lawn equipment (drained of fuel)
- Up to 2 tons of mixed debris, included in the flat rate
When to size up to the 30
If the garage cleanout is part of a bigger move-out or you are clearing the attic and a shed in the same weekend, the 30 yard dumpster costs less than renting a second bin later. It includes 3 tons and a 14 day window, so you can work at your own pace.
Still on the fence? Book the size you think you need; our team will flag it if your description sounds like a mismatch. Reserve your bin online in about 90 seconds.
