Yes. The 15 yard dumpsters are designed with your convenience in mind, featuring an 8ft wide door at the back that swings open and secures to the side of the dumpster. The door's design also allows for walk-in access, making it easier to organize and dispose of waste efficiently. This design ensures the door stays out of your way while loading, providing unobstructed access for easy disposal of large items or debris. 

Yes, most furniture will comfortably fit in a 15 yard dumpster, thanks to its spacious dimensions of 14 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 5 feet in height. These dimensions make it suitable for a wide range of furniture items, including sofas, chairs, desks, and bed frames. Before disposing of large pieces, consider measuring them or breaking them down into more manageable pieces to ensure a smooth fit within the dumpster's capacity.

The 15 Yard Dumpster is the ideal size for:

• Small to medium construction projects
• Kitchen remodels
• Garage cleanouts
• Basement cleanouts
• Attic cleanouts
• Small home or apartment cleanouts
• Yard Waste
• Roof Replacement

A 1.5 ton weight allowance means you can load up to 3000 pounds (which is equivalent to 1.5 ton) of material into the dumpster without any additional charges. If the weight of your load exceeds 3000 pounds, we apply an extra fee. This fee is calculated at a rate of $0.0975 for every pound over the 3000-pound limit. Simply put, as long as you keep your load under 1.5 ton, you won't face extra costs. But if you go over, the extra weight will be charged accordingly to cover the increased disposal fees we incur.

Most house cleanouts typically stay under the 1.5 ton weight allowance, meaning there usually aren't any additional charges for going over weight. When filling a 15 yard dumpster with common household items like furniture, toys, and general clutter, it's unlikely you'll exceed the 3000-pound limit. However, the weight can vary depending on the specific items you're disposing of, especially if you include heavier objects like appliances or large pieces of furniture.

It's important to note that the exact weight of your load won't be known until the dumpster is emptied at a transfer station. This means you might not know if you've gone over the weight allowance until after the dumpster has been picked up and weighed. To avoid unexpected charges, it's wise to keep a rough estimate of the weight of your materials when loading the dumpster.

The design of Wormwood Disposal's 15 Yard Dumpsters minimizes the risk of driveway damage. Equipped with large steel rollers for efficient loading and unloading, and resting on rails that extend the length of the dumpster, our dumpsters are engineered to avoid direct scraping or dragging across your driveway surface. Given their relatively smaller size and lighter weight, it is uncommon for a 15 yard dumpster to cause damage to driveways under normal usage conditions. However, it is important to note that on days of extreme heat, asphalt driveways may become soft and susceptible to impressions. To mitigate this risk, Wormwood Disposal provides driveway protection solutions designed to distribute the dumpster's weight more evenly, thereby eliminating the possibility of damage to your property.
