Dumpster size by home cleanout type in Lexington

A 10 yard dumpster handles a single-room or garage cleanout

A 10 yard dumpster holds about 10 cubic yards of debris, roughly 3 to 4 pickup truck loads. It fits one cleared-out bedroom, a packed garage, or a basement corner. The container sits about 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 3.5 feet tall, so it slides onto most Lexington driveways without blocking the street. Choose this size for boxes, old furniture, and general household junk from one space.

A 15 or 20 yard dumpster fits the average Lexington home cleanout

A 15 yard dumpster holds about 6 pickup loads; a 20 yard holds about 8. Both cover the typical two-to-three room cleanout where you are clearing furniture, clothing, small appliances, and years of stored items. The 20 yard measures roughly 22 feet long and 4 feet tall, with low walls you can walk items into. Most homeowners in Kenwick and Gardenside land on one of these two sizes.

A 30 yard dumpster covers full-house and estate cleanouts

A 30 yard dumpster holds about 12 pickup loads and suits a whole-home clear-out, a move-out, or an estate cleanout. It swallows large furniture, mattresses, and multiple appliances in one drop. The bin stands taller at about 6 feet, so heavy or bulky items get tossed over the side or loaded through the walk-in door. Estate cleaners in Ashland Park and Gratz Park use this size when clearing a full property at once.

Lexington specifics

Dumpsters placed on a private driveway in Lexington need no permit, which covers most cleanouts in Chevy Chase, Ashland Park, Beaumont, and Andover. Placing a bin on a public street or right-of-way in Fayette County may require a permit, so street-side drops in tighter neighborhoods like Kenwick or Gratz Park should be planned ahead. Prohibited items in every dumpster include paint, tires, batteries, and appliances with refrigerant such as fridges and freezers. Weight limits typically run 2 to 4 tons depending on size; heavy loads of soil, brick, or concrete from a Masterson Station or Southland project may need a smaller, dedicated bin to stay under the limit.
