The 15-yard bin is the sweet spot for a lot of Seattle projects. A kitchen or bathroom demo, a single-car garage cleanout in Wallingford, or an estate cleanout in a Beacon Hill bungalow usually fills 15 yards without leaving you paying for empty space. If you're tearing off one layer of roofing or clearing a deck, this size handles the weight and volume without the footprint of a 20-yard container. Go smaller with a 10-yard if you're only clearing out a closet or a few rooms of furniture; step up to a 20-yard if you're gutting a whole floor or handling a large addition.
Driveway fit matters more here than anywhere else in the country. A 15-yard roll-off typically needs about 22 feet of length and 8 feet of width, plus overhead clearance for the truck to lift and set it down. On the steep grades of Queen Anne, Magnolia, and West Seattle, we look at slope and turnaround room before we commit to a spot, a flat driveway or a level street section works best. In dense areas like Capitol Hill and Fremont where driveways are short or shared, the bin often has to sit on the street, which means a City of Seattle right-of-way permit. We'll tell you up front whether your placement needs one and walk you through it rather than leaving you to sort out King County and city rules alone.
Weight is the other thing to plan for. Heavy debris like concrete, dirt, brick, and roofing shingles hits a bin's weight limit long before it fills up, so for those jobs we'll talk through whether a partial load or a heavy-material rate makes more sense. Clean household and remodel debris rarely runs into that ceiling in a 15-yard box, which is part of why this size is so popular for Ballard remodels and Rainier Valley cleanouts.
Our pricing is flat-rate and quoted before the bin leaves the yard. That means delivery, the rental window, pickup, and the disposal for the debris type you describe are all in the number we give you on the phone. The only way the price changes is if the actual load turns out heavier than what you described or includes materials you didn't mention, and we'd rather sort that out honestly at the curb than surprise you on an invoice.
