The 15 yard container in Fort Lauderdale
The 15 yard is the step up from the 10 when the job is one big room rather than one small one. Kitchen remodels are the classic fit — cabinets, countertops, flooring, the drywall behind it all — and so is a deck tear-down or a whole-house carpet and tile change-out.
It is still short enough for most residential driveways in Plantation, Davie and Coral Springs, and low-sided enough that you can load it over the wall without a ramp. If you are between a 10 and a 20 and the material is light and bulky, this is usually where you land.
Kitchens, floors, decks and single-room remodels
A kitchen generates more than people expect: by the time the cabinets, the old appliances' packaging, the backsplash and the subfloor are out, a 10 yard is tight and a 15 is right. Flooring jobs are the same — tile from a three-bedroom house is heavy and awkward, and the 15 gives you the length to lay it flat.
Decks and fences are the other regular: lumber is long, so the 14 ft bed matters more than the height. Cut the boards to under 12 feet and they stack cleanly.
Weight on a 15 yard
The included allowance is two to three tons. Tile, plaster and old terrazzo add up quickly, so for a heavy flooring job we will tell you up front whether it fits the allowance or needs a split load. Light demolition — cabinets, drywall, carpet — never gets near the line.
Suitability

- Whole-house carpet or tile tear-out
- Deck, fence or pergola removal
- Two-room cleanout with furniture
- Flooring plus a bathroom in one go

Placing a 15 yard container on a Broward County property
It needs about 28 feet of clear, level driveway, and overhead clearance for the lift. On your own driveway or lot in Fort Lauderdale no City permit is needed; in a street or swale the City requires a right-of-way permit from the City Engineer (Engineering Permitting Division, 954-828-6520), and other Broward cities have their own rules — Lauderhill requires a permit even on a driveway. Boards go under the rails as standard. The permit guide covers every city.

Answers
15 Yard Dumpster — questions we get asked
Is a 15 yard enough for a kitchen remodel?
For most Fort Lauderdale kitchens, yes. If you are also gutting an adjoining room or replacing tile throughout the house, step up to the 20.
Will it fit in my driveway?
It needs about 14 feet of container length and a straight approach. Most two-car driveways in Broward County have room; townhouse and condo drives are worth a quick photo before we book.
Can I keep it longer than a week?
Yes. The standard rental is 7 days and extensions are a small daily rate — just tell us before the scheduled pickup.
What is the weight limit?
Two to three tons is included. Dense material like tile or plaster can push past that, so tell us what is going in and we will plan the load.
