15 yard dumpster
The middle residential size. Kitchen remodels, flooring pull-outs, and “the whole first floor” cleanouts usually land here.
These are roll-off containers — open top, wheels on the rails, door at the rear. Dimensions may vary by which can is in the yard that morning. Rental volume (cubic yards) does not.

The 15 yard is the default residential can. A kitchen, a bath, and the contents of a garage usually fill it without jumping to a 20. Rear door for walk-in loading (double on most, single on some). Walls high enough to hide the load from the street.

Will it fit?
Typical Cape driveway if the approach is straight. Measure before you book it on a village lot.
Sixteen feet long. Tell us if the apron is shorter than that — we would rather drop a 10 than chew a lawn.
Mixed household and remodel debris goes in. Mattresses, tires, appliances, and electronics carry an extra charge. Green waste, concrete, dirt, and similar streams need their own can. Load rules.
Where a 15 yard actually lands
Same can everywhere. These towns are where this size gets booked most.
