Estate Cleanout: Clearing Parent's Home

I'm sorry for your loss. Estate cleanouts are emotionally difficult on top of the logistics. My recommendation: One 30 yard dumpster Here's why: Capacity: A 30 yard holds approximately 9 pickup truck loads. For a 3-bedroom ranch with basement and garage (collector's amount of stuff), one 30 yard will likely be tight but doable if you: - Donate/sell large furniture pieces you don't want - Break down boxes - Compress soft items Cost comparison: - One 30 yard: ~$450 - Two 15 yards: ~$650 - Savings: $200 Driveway fit: - 30 yard dimensions: 22' long × 8' wide - Your 35' driveway: Yes, it will fit with room to spare - The truck needs about 60' of straight clearance to deliver Alternative approach if concerned: Order the 30 yard first. If you run out of room, order a 10 yard for the overflow (~$300). You'll still save vs. two 15s. Timeline tip: Book 2-week rental since you have time. Estate cleanouts often take longer emotionally than physically.
