Size Comparison — What Actually Fits
Pickup-load counts are estimates; heavy materials require the 7-yard specialized trailer.
| Size | Best For | Approx. Pickup Loads | Max Capacity Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-Yard | Concrete, dirt, sod, gravel | ~3 | Heavy debris safe Designed for density. |
| 15-Yard | Home cleanouts, bath remodels | ~6 | Most popular residential choice. |
| 20-Yard | Multi-room cleanouts, light demo | ~8–10 | Best for bulky, light items. |
Pro tip: Always book the 7-yard for concrete or dirt. It prevents "over-tonnage" issues and is easier to place in tight Portland driveways.
