What size dumpster do I need for a home or garage cleanout?
A 10-yard usually handles a small garage or a few rooms. A packed garage, whole house or estate usually needs a 20-yard or larger.
| Cleanout | Size to ask about first |
|---|---|
| Shed, small garage or one or two rooms | 10-yard |
| Apartment or small-home move-out | 10 or 20-yard |
| Whole house, estate or foreclosure | 20-yard or larger |
| Mobile home or RV lot with tight space | 10-yard |
Tell the hauler what you plan to throw out so they can match the size. Heavy items such as rock or old concrete steps add weight fast, so mention them.

How do estate and downsizing cleanouts work with a dumpster?
Sort first, then fill. For an estate cleanout, set aside keepsakes, donations and banned items before the dumpster arrives.
That way your rental days go to loading, not deciding. Most Yuma rentals run about 7 days. Extra days typically cost $10–$30 each. If the house is being sold, plan around the closing date. Book the dumpster once the family has walked the house. If no one can lift heavy furniture, a crew may be the better fit. Compare a dumpster vs. junk removal for a cleanout.
When do snowbirds book open-up and close-up cleanouts?
Mostly October and April. ASU found 34% of seasonal homeowners arrive in October and 57% leave in April.
The same ASU study counted about 71,000 winter visitors in Yuma County. It also counted 15,486 leased lots in 44 RV parks and 9,805 seasonal homes or mobiles. (Source: ASU, Yuma Winter Visitors Report 2017–18, published 2019. It is older, but it is the latest headcount we found.)
Fall arrivals can mean fix-up projects and debris. Spring departures can mean close-up cleanouts before the drive north. Book pickup before your travel date so the dumpster doesn’t sit while you’re gone. For Foothills homes, see dumpster rental in Fortuna Foothills.

Can I book a cleanout dumpster from out of town?
Ask the hauler first. If they take remote bookings, you can set up delivery and pickup by phone.
If you’re out of town, ask the hauler about these points:
- Booking and paying by phone
- Delivery when no one is home
- A neighbor or property manager meeting the driver
- A photo of the box once it’s placed
Read whether you need to be home for delivery.
Can a dumpster fit at a mobile home or RV park lot?
Often, but space and park rules decide it. Get the park manager’s approval and measure the spot before you book.
Mobile homes are a big part of local housing. 28.6% of Yuma County housing units are mobile homes, against 9.3% statewide. In Fortuna Foothills the share is 47.4% (U.S. Census, ACS 2020–2024). A tight lot may only fit a 10-yard. Check for carports, overhead wires and your neighbor’s driveway. Read RV park and HOA placement rules.
Tearing down a whole structure is demolition, not a cleanout. See construction and demolition dumpsters.
What size dumpster for a landlord turnover or foreclosure cleanout?
Most single-unit turnovers fit a 10 or 20-yard. A foreclosure full of furniture and belongings may need a 20-yard or larger.
Rentals are common here. Yuma County has 23,031 renter households, 29.0% of all households. In Yuma city it’s 13,003, or 33.2% (U.S. Census, ACS 2020–2024). Every vacant day costs a landlord or property manager rent.
What does it cost to empty out an apartment? With a dumpster, the cost is the rental price plus any overage. A 10-yard typically runs about $260–$815 in Yuma as of October 2026, and your exact price is confirmed on the call. Labor isn’t included. Tenants often leave mattresses, appliances, paint and tires, so check the banned list below.

What can’t go in a cleanout dumpster?
Tires, car batteries, hazardous waste and household garbage stay out. Appliances with refrigerant need special handling.
- Tires: Arizona bars waste tires from landfills unless ADEQ approves (A.R.S. 44-1304).
- Car batteries: landfills may not knowingly accept lead-acid batteries (A.R.S. 44-1322). Return them to a battery retailer.
- Fridges, freezers and window AC units: a federal rule requires the final processor to recover the refrigerant, or get a signed statement that it was recovered (40 CFR 82.155). Ask the hauler whether they take appliances and at what fee.
- Paint, chemicals and oil: the City of Yuma’s next household hazardous waste event is Saturday, November 14, 2026, 8 a.m. to noon, at 1473 S. 2nd Ave. It is free for City and County residents. Call the City to confirm.
- Household garbage and food: City of Yuma code (Chapter 190) allows private roll-offs for waste other than garbage. Call Public Works at (928) 373-4500 to confirm.
- Mattresses, hot tubs and bulky items: rules and fees vary by hauler. Ask before you load anything questionable.

Is the City’s free Neighborhood Cleanup a better option?
For a few bulky items inside Yuma city limits, it can be. It runs from about January to April and excludes construction debris.
In 2026 the cleanup ran zone by zone from January 26 to early April. Dates change each year, so call City of Yuma Public Works at (928) 373-4500 to confirm. Yuma County runs a similar program for some unincorporated subdivisions, but each community gets it about once every three years. Call Yuma County Public Works to confirm.
For a single load you can haul yourself, the free county transfer sites may cost less. The North Gila Valley site at 7870 E. County 5th St is open daily, 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., for non-commercial loads. See the free county transfer sites.
Can I use a roll-off for a farm or ag cleanup?
Yes, for ordinary debris such as old fencing, lumber and shed contents. Keep chemicals and their containers out of the dumpster.
Scrap metal can go to a metal recycler instead. That lowers the weight in your dumpster. SA Recycling at 3350 E. 32nd St takes scrap metal, per its business listing, so call ahead to confirm. Ask the hauler whether the truck can reach a dirt or gravel pad on your property.
Please don’t leave farm debris in the desert. Illegal dumping in Yuma County ranges from a class 2 misdemeanor to a class 6 felony (Yuma County Sheriff’s Office, 2025).

Frequently asked questions
Does the rental clock start on delivery day?
Ask the hauler when your rental days start and end. Get it in writing. Most Yuma rentals run about 7 days. Read how the rental period works.
Can the dumpster go on the street?
Use the driveway when you can. In Yuma city, call Public Works at (928) 373-4500. In unincorporated areas like the Foothills, call Yuma County Development Services at (928) 817-5000. See street and driveway placement.
What can I do if neighbors put trash in my dumpster?
Their trash adds weight you pay for. Tarp the box when you’re not loading it. Read more in the dumpster FAQ.
Is a dumpster cheaper than junk removal for a cleanout?
It depends on the volume and whether you can do the lifting. See dumpster vs. junk removal costs.
How are overage charges handled?
A 10-yard in Yuma typically includes about 2 tons, and each extra ton typically costs $50–$100. Ask for a copy of the landfill scale ticket if you’re billed for overage. Your exact rates are confirmed on the call. Read how overage charges work in Yuma.
