12 Yard Dumpster — $265
The 12 yard dumpster is the compact roll-off option when you need real cleanup capacity without using more driveway space than necessary. It is a practical choice for smaller residential projects, tight placement areas, and cleanouts where the debris volume is moderate but still too much for curbside trash service.

- ≈ 4 pickup loads / 70–90 trash bags
- Good for: contained cleanup projects where a smaller roll-off still beats repeated truck or trailer loads.
- Choose this size when the cleanup has a clear boundary and loading by hand is part of the plan.
Rental Includes
- Delivery and pickup
- 7 days of use
- 1 ton included
- Driveway protection during normal placement
Common Added Costs
- Extra days are $15 per day
- Weight over the included amount is billed at $85 per ton, prorated

12 Yard Dumpster Compared to 12 and 14 Yard Dumpsters
Dumpster size labels vary by company. The FTH 12 yard dumpster sits between common 12 yard and 14 yard listings and is used for the same small-cleanout category: garage cleanup, attic clutter, light yard debris, room cleanouts, and compact household projects. Compare the project and loading space instead of relying only on the number in the name.

12 Yard Dumpster User Guidance
Best Projects for a 12 Yard Dumpster
A 12 yard dumpster is usually the best fit for small to medium residential cleanups where the customer wants a simple, driveway-friendly container. It is a good match for garage cleanouts, attic cleanouts, shed cleanouts, small flooring removal, yard debris, household junk, furniture removal, and decluttering before a move. Many customers choose this size when they do not want to over-rent, but still need enough room for bulky items that will not fit in normal trash cans.
When This Size Makes Sense
Choose the 12 yard dumpster when the debris is mostly light to moderate household material and the project is limited to one area of the home. It is also useful when driveway space is limited, when the container needs to be placed near a garage or side entry, or when the cleanup needs to stay organized without taking over the property. Because it has less total volume than the larger dumpsters, customers should break down boxes, flatten furniture where possible, and load larger pieces first so the space is used efficiently.
What to Watch Before Ordering
The 12 yard dumpster is not the best choice for a full-house cleanout, major remodel, or job with a large amount of bulky construction debris. If the project includes multiple rooms, heavy demolition material, roofing debris, or a mix of furniture and renovation debris, moving up to the 15 or 20 yard dumpster may prevent the need for a second haul. For clean, smaller jobs, the 12 yard option keeps the rental simple and cost-conscious while still providing true roll-off dumpster capacity.
Accepted Materials and Items We Do Not Accept
Before loading a dumpster, review the material rules so the job stays clean and pickup is not delayed.
Common Accepted Cleanup Debris
- Household junk and general cleanout debris
- Furniture, boxes, clutter, tables, chairs, couches, recliners, coffee tables, mattresses, and box springs
- Kitchen trash and clothing when bagged before being placed in the dumpster
- Wood, trim, cabinets, doors, and light remodeling debris
- Appliances without refrigerant loaded at the rear barn doors so they can be accessed at disposal
- Small construction and contractor cleanup debris
Items That Need Loading Care
- Load mattresses and box springs first, standing vertically on the long edge when possible
- Load appliances without refrigerant at the rear barn doors, not buried in the middle of the container. Appliances with refrigerant are not accepted
- Spread dense items such as books, flooring, cabinets, and drywall across the floor instead of stacking them in one spot
- Plan roofing shingles, unusually heavy debris, or large amounts of wet material so the right dumpster size and loading approach are used
- Yard cleanup debris may be accepted when the material type and amount fit the project
We Do Not Accept
- Concrete, brick, dirt, rock, heavy fill, and tree stumps
- Storm debris with mixed, wet, or oversized material
- Tires, batteries, wet paint, chemicals, liquids, fuel, asbestos, and biohazard material
- Appliances with refrigerant, including refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and similar units unless refrigerant has been professionally removed
- Debris loaded above the rim/top rail; it may create additional fees or require unloading before pickup
Weather and Weight Reminder
Standard rentals include 1 ton of disposal weight. Rain can make certain materials much heavier, including carpet, padding, mattresses, box springs, upholstered furniture, drywall, insulation, cardboard, yard debris, and bagged household trash. Keep absorbent items covered when possible and load them before heavy rains. Weight over the included amount is billed at $85 per ton, prorated, according to the Terms and Conditions.
How the Dumpster Rental Process Works
FTH Services keeps the rental process simple for homeowners first: choose a size, clear the driveway or placement area, load during the rental period, and schedule pickup when the cleanup is finished. Contractors, landlords, and property managers can use the same process for smaller project cleanup.
1. Choose the Right Size
Compare the 12, 15, and 20-yard roll-off dumpsters based on the project type, amount of debris, driveway space, and whether the cleanup includes bulky or heavy material.
2. Schedule Delivery
Book online or call with the delivery address, preferred date, placement details, and any material questions. Same-day delivery is available for many orders placed before the cutoff.
3. Load During the Rental Period
The standard rental includes 7 days of use. Load debris evenly, keep material below the rim/top rail, and keep out the items we do not accept (concrete, dirt, stumps, tires, batteries, wet paint, biohazard). Material above the rim can create added fees or require unloading before pickup.
4. Pickup and Disposal
When the project is complete, FTH Services retrieves the dumpster and handles disposal. Extra days and weight over the included amount are billed according to the posted rental terms.
Which Dumpster Size Should You Choose?
The right size controls your cost, prevents overloading, and keeps you from needing a second container. Compare the available roll-off options side by side, then book the one that matches your project.
| Dumpster Size | Starting Price | Dimensions (L×W×H) | Capacity | Best For | Choose It When |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Yard Dumpster | $265 | 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 4 ft high | ≈ 4 pickup loads / 70–90 trash bags | Best for: customers comparing the 12 yard against larger options for a small, controlled cleanup. | Choose when: low walls, easy hand loading, and a smaller footprint are the main reasons for selecting this page. |
| 15 Yard Dumpster | $295 | 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 5 ft high | ≈ 6 pickup loads / 110–130 trash bags | Best for: customers who need a middle option after ruling out both the smallest and largest containers. | Choose when: flexibility matters because the final debris volume is not exact yet. |
| 20 Yard Dumpster | $325 | 16 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 5 ft high | ≈ 8 pickup loads / 140–160 trash bags | Best for: customers comparing heavier debris, remodel work, and floor-length loading needs. | Choose when: the job calls for a longer container and a load plan that keeps dense material balanced. |
| 20 Yard Dumpster (14 ft × 6 ft setup) | $325 | 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 6 ft high | ≈ 9 pickup loads / 160–180 trash bags | Best for: customers comparing maximum volume for bulky household and estate debris. | Choose when: more container volume is more useful than extra floor length. |
