Looking for a dumpster that’s big enough for serious cleanups yet compact enough for your driveway?
Meet the 15-yard roll-off dumpster from JLK Dumpster Rental Battle Creek MI, conveniently serving all of Battle Creek, Marshall, and Calhoun County.
It’s the ideal middle option for multi-room cleanouts, kitchen or bathroom remodels, flooring replacements, light roofing projects, and yard waste removal — giving you the perfect balance of capacity, footprint, and cost-efficiency.
What Is a 15-Yard Dumpster?
A 15-yard dumpster holds roughly 15 cubic yards of debris — that’s about 4–5 pickup-truck loads or 80–100 standard 33-gallon bags.
16′ L × 7.5′ W × 4.5′ H
Standard weight allowance:
~2–3 tons (varies by debris type)
Driveway-friendly:
Fits most Battle Creek residential driveways without blocking garage access
It’s taller than a 10-yard but smaller than a 20-yard, making it ideal when you need “more than small, less than huge.”
Is a 15-Yard Dumpster Right for My Project?
Choose a 15-yard when you need enough space for a full cleanup without paying for extra unused volume.
Pro Tip:
If your debris is heavy (tile, plaster, concrete), a 10-yard may be more cost-effective.
If it’s mostly bulky furniture or mixed junk, consider upgrading to a 20-yard.
15-Yard vs. Other Dumpster Sizes
- Smaller? Choose a 10-yard for compact or heavy debris jobs.
- Bigger? Pick a 20-yard for major remodels or large roofing projects.
- Need maximum capacity? Go with our 30- or 40-yard dumpsters.

Weight & Loading Guidance (Avoid Overage Fees)
- Plan for weight, not just space. Flooring, tile, and wet debris get heavy fast.
- Load evenly. Keep weight balanced front-to-back and side-to-side.
- Stay below the fill line. Nothing above the top rail — lids and tarps must close.
- Heavy-material rule: If over half your load is concrete, tile, or soil, call us — a smaller dumpster may save money.
We can estimate material weights by phone — saving you from overage fees before delivery.
