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.

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!
