The 15 yard container in Norfolk, VA
The 15 yard dumpster is the size we point most first-time renters toward when they're not sure between "small" and "big enough." It holds noticeably more than the 10 yard without the extra length and height of a 20, which matters on the narrower driveways and lot lines common in older Norfolk neighborhoods like Larchmont and Colonial Place.
It's a solid fit for a kitchen remodel, a deck tear-out, or clearing out a full garage plus attic in one pass, and it's still manageable enough to place on residential streets from Ghent to Ocean View without a lot of logistics.
Where the 15 Yard Hits the Sweet Spot
This size earns its keep on projects that are bigger than one room but not a full-house gut: a kitchen remodel, a bathroom-plus-flooring job, a deck or fence removal, or a garage-and-attic combo cleanout. It's also a common choice for small roofing jobs on ranch-style homes where a 10 yard would run out of room.
What Typically Fills It
A kitchen remodel's cabinets, countertops, and old flooring will typically fill a 15 yard on its own. So will a wood deck tear-out, a couple hundred square feet of asphalt shingles, or the combined contents of a garage and an attic in one of Larchmont's or Park Place's older homes.
Placement Around Norfolk's Older Streets
At 16 feet, the 15 yard still fits comfortably on most Norfolk driveways, though it needs a bit more clearance than the 10 yard. In neighborhoods with narrow curb cuts or on-street parking pressure — Ghent and areas near Naval Station Norfolk in particular — our crew will confirm the drop spot with you ahead of delivery.

Placing a 15 yard container on a Norfolk-area property
The 15 yard is a frequent choice for the mixed-vintage housing in Larchmont and Colonial Place, where mid-size remodel projects are common on lots too tight for oversized equipment, and for PCS-timeline moves where a departing or arriving military family is tackling more than a single room but doesn't need a full 20 or 30 yard container.

Answers
15 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
Is a 15 yard dumpster big enough for a kitchen remodel?
For most standard kitchen remodels in Norfolk's older homes, yes. Cabinets, countertops, and old flooring from a typical kitchen will usually fit in a 15 yard with room to spare. If you're also replacing subfloor or doing structural work, let us know and we can talk through whether a 20 yard makes more sense.
How does the 15 yard compare to the 10 and 20 yard?
It splits the difference: about 5 feet longer than a 10 yard with meaningfully more volume, but shorter and easier to place than a 20 yard. It's the size we recommend when a project is bigger than one room but doesn't call for a full house gut.
What does a 15 yard dumpster cost in Norfolk?
General market pricing for roll-off dumpsters in Hampton Roads runs about $250 to $800 depending on size and debris, with a 15 yard typically landing in the lower-middle of that range. That's a general reference, not a quote — call (757) 290-7723 for pricing on your specific project.
