Renovation waste is the most common thing we haul, and it is also the easiest to misjudge. The volume rarely comes from the part of the job you are picturing — it comes from everything behind the walls that you did not know was there.
RenovationThe honest shortcut is to count rooms rather than square footage. One room coming apart — a bathroom, a small kitchen, a bedroom going back to studs — generally fits a 10-yard bin. A full kitchen, a roof-to-basement refresh of one floor, or two rooms running at once is where the 14-yard earns its place, and it is the size we send out most. A whole-house gut is the one case for the 20-yard, and there the argument is swaps rather than space: one big bin beats three small ones when a crew is standing around waiting.
Three things cannot go in, whatever the job: dirt and soil, concrete, and brick or block. Renovations trip over this more than you would think — a tiled floor is fine, but the mortar bed under it is not, and a basement project that involves breaking up a slab needs that material handled separately.
Almost all the waste from a renovation appears in the first few days. Sizing for the whole project rather than that peak is how people end up paying for a second swap.
Drywall and flooring laid flat across the floor of the bin use the space far better than anything thrown in on an angle, and they leave a level base for the bulky items on top.
The door end gets used constantly on a reno. Leave room to walk a vanity in rather than lift it over the side.
Boards under the rollers take two minutes on arrival and are impossible to add once the bin is down.
A 14-yard covers most full kitchens — cabinets, counters, flooring and the drywall behind them — with room for whatever turns up once the walls are open. A small galley kitchen with the cabinets going out intact can sometimes manage on a 10.
Tile, backer board and thinset scraped off a subfloor are all fine. What cannot go in is a concrete bed or a slab, which counts as concrete — one of the three materials we cannot take.
Often cheaper than keeping one on the driveway between phases, yes. Tell us the schedule when you call and we can talk through whether staged drops or one longer rental makes more sense for the way your job is running.
