This container holds ~5–6 pickup truck loads and is ideal for multi-room renovations, roofing tear-offs, and siding projects. — All four Neighborly Hauling dumpster sizes—12, 17, 21, and 25 yards—built for tight spaces and heavy loads.

Contractor-Ready Dumpster Sizes

Unlike national chains that drop oversized 30–40 yard boxes, our fleet is designed for tight jobsites, heavy materials, and quick swaps. Every bin is built to fit where you need it—and to haul what your crew puts in it.

12-Yard Dumpster

Compact 12 yard dumpster fits single-car driveways while protecting surfaces with Rolliskate pads.

Holds about 3–4 pickup loads
Ideal for shingles, drywall, and smaller debris piles

17-Yard Dumpster

A contractor favorite for siding jobs, multi-room renovations, or retail cleanouts
Holds about 5 pickup loads
Big enough for bulky materials without hogging driveway or site space

21-Yard Dumpster

Great for apartment turnovers, restaurant remodels, or medium construction projects
Holds roughly 6–7 pickup loads
Handles mixed debris—wood, furniture, drywall, and light demolition material

25-Yard Dumpster

Our largest bin for major remodels, full-scale demolitions, or high-volume contractor jobs
Holds about 8 pickup loads
Designed for heavy loads while still fitting into tight commercial spaces
