    When to choose a 10-yard

    A 10-yard standard or lowboy is best for small-volume but heavy loads: concrete tear-outs, dirt removal, rock, brick and asphalt. The lowboy version has short walls that make hand-loading easy and keeps total weight under legal hauling limits.

    When to choose a 15-yard

    A 15-yard is the sweet spot for small remodels, garage cleanouts, single-room demolitions and yard waste. It holds about 50% more mixed debris than a 10-yard standard, but its 2-ton weight allowance makes it the wrong pick for heavy materials.

    Cost considerations

    A 15-yard typically costs only a little more than a 10-yard standard, so if your debris is light and bulky, the upgrade is usually worth it. For heavy debris, going larger does NOT save money — you'll hit the weight limit long before the volume limit.
