What Size Dumpster Do I Need for a Garage Cleanout in Phoenix?

Most Phoenix garage cleanouts come down to one simple choice: 10-yard or 20-yard. Here’s how to know which one you actually need.

For standard garage cleanouts across the Valley, a 20-yard dumpster is the safest and most common choice. It handles old furniture, boxes, shelving, kids’ items, yard tools, small appliances, and leftover remodel material without running out of space.

A 10-yard dumpster is enough only when you’re clearing out a lightly used garage or removing small items with very little bulky material.

If your garage has:

  • old cabinets
  • broken furniture
  • construction leftovers
  • holiday bins
  • bikes, toys, or metal items

…go with the 20-yard. You’ll fill it faster than you expect.

Quick Summary

  • A 20-yard dumpster fits most Phoenix garage cleanouts.
  • A 10-yard works only for small, light-volume cleanouts.
  • Bulkier items like furniture and shelving fill space quickly.
  • DX can place the dumpster close to the garage for easy loading.
