The Long Answer:
Humans are very bad at estimating volumes, so we'll compare each common bin type with the volume of a full size pickup truck bed*. It's what people typically use to go the dump anyhow! We will also list what kind of projects that size of dumpster is typically used for.
*A full size pickup with a load filled level with the bed will hold ~2 cubic yards. A 4 cubic yard bin is worth two trips to the dump in a pickup!

These small sizes are suitable for small projects or for heavy materials like dirt and gravel. Also useful for small driveways.

20 cubic yard dumpsters are very versatile and a very common size among haulers.

30 Cubic Yard Dumpster
If you can't fit all your waste in your bin then you'll have to swap it out for a new one. You'll pay much more than if you had chosen a big enough bin.
Takeaway: Make sure to rent a dumpster that is large enough to hold all your waste. Skimping out and having to rent a second one is not cheaper!
= 15 trips to the dump
