A kitchen demolition creates more waste than most homeowners expect.
Cabinets come out. Countertops get removed. Drywall, flooring, trim, backsplash tile, and packaging quickly fill the driveway. Without a disposal plan, your project can slow down fast.
For most Alliston kitchen demolitions, a 14-yard household and construction bin is the best starting point. However, the right choice depends on the size of your kitchen, the materials you are removing, and how heavy the load will be.
This guide explains:
What you can load
What you must keep out
Which bin size fits your project
When to choose Regular or All-In pricing
How to avoid hidden disposal charges and property damage
Quick answer: which bin should you book?
Use this simple kitchen demolition checklist:
If you are removing a few cabinets, a countertop, and limited flooring, then choose a 10-yard bin.
If you are gutting a standard kitchen with cabinets, drywall, flooring, countertops, and general debris, then choose a 14-yard bin.
If you are renovating the kitchen plus other rooms or completing a full main-floor demolition, then choose a 20-yard bin.
If your load is mainly soil, concrete, or asphalt, then choose the specialty 8-yard bin. It is not for mixed kitchen waste.

What to load in your Alliston kitchen demolition bin
Tor Bin Rental’s household and construction bins are designed for common, non-hazardous renovation waste.
Cabinets and wood materials
You can generally load:
Upper and lower kitchen cabinets
Cabinet doors and drawers
Shelving
Wood trim and moulding
Light framing lumber
Wooden pantry units
Non-treated renovation wood
Remove loose hardware where practical. Break down large cabinet boxes to create more usable space.
Countertops and backsplash materials
Common kitchen surfaces can usually go in a household and construction bin, including:
Laminate countertops
Wooden countertops
Solid-surface countertops
Backsplash tile
Small amounts of ceramic tile
Countertops can be bulky. Cut long pieces down when possible and place them flat or along the sides of the bin.
⚠️ Large amounts of stone, concrete, brick, or tile can become extremely heavy. Contact Tor Bin Rental before loading a dense masonry-heavy load.
Drywall, flooring, and trim
A kitchen demolition bin can generally handle:
Drywall and gypsum board
Vinyl flooring
Laminate flooring
Hardwood flooring
Carpet and underlay
Baseboards
Door casing
Non-hazardous insulation
Keep drywall and flooring organized as you load. Place heavier materials low in the bin. This helps use the available space safely and reduces shifting during transport.
Plumbing fixtures and general renovation debris
You may also be able to load:
Sinks
Faucets
Non-electrical fixtures
Light renovation debris
Cardboard packaging
Plastic wrapping
Small amounts of mixed household waste from the project
When in doubt, check the Tor Bin Rental FAQ before putting an item in the bin.
What to skip: prohibited kitchen demolition materials
Some kitchen items cannot go in a standard household and construction bin.
Keep these materials separate:
❌ Refrigerators and freezers
❌ Stoves and ovens
❌ Dishwashers
❌ Microwaves and other electronics
❌ Paint and paint thinner
❌ Oils, fuels, and automotive fluids
❌ Household chemicals and solvents
❌ Propane tanks and gas cylinders
❌ Batteries
❌ Tires
❌ Asbestos or suspected asbestos materials
❌ Medical waste, sharps, or biological waste
❌ Explosives, fireworks, and ammunition
Appliances and electronics often require separate recycling or disposal arrangements. Do not assume they can go in the bin.
⚠️ If you suspect asbestos in old flooring, insulation, drywall compound, or other materials, STOP WORK and arrange professional testing or abatement. Do not place suspected asbestos in a rental bin.
What about kitchen appliances?
Kitchen appliances are one of the most common sources of confusion.
For Tor Bin Rental’s standard bins, keep these items out:
Refrigerator
Freezer
Stove
Range
Dishwasher
Microwave
Appliance containing refrigerant
Arrange appliance recycling, scrap pickup, or another approved disposal option before demolition day.
You can still rent a bin for the rest of the project. Just create a separate appliance removal plan.
Heavy materials: tile, stone, concrete, and soil
Kitchen demolitions can become heavy quickly.
A small amount of backsplash tile may be manageable. A full stone countertop, thick ceramic flooring, brick, or concrete can push your load toward the weight limit.
Use this rule:
If your waste is mostly cabinets, drywall, wood, packaging, and light flooring, then a standard household and construction bin should fit the project.
If your waste contains substantial tile, stone, brick, or concrete, then contact Tor Bin Rental before booking.
If your load is only soil, concrete, or asphalt, then book the specialty 8-yard bin.
The 8-yard bin measures 7' x 14' x 2'. It is strictly for:
Soil
Concrete
Asphalt
⚠️ Do not mix cabinets, drywall, lumber, flooring, shingles, appliances, or general kitchen debris into the 8-yard specialty bin.
Alliston kitchen demolition bin sizes and July 2026 pricing
The following are current July 2026 starting rates for household and construction waste.
The listed prices are starting rates. Final pricing varies by postal code and is subject to H.S.T. A 5% fuel surcharge also applies.
10-yard bin: small kitchen demolition
Choose the 10-yard bin if you are:
Removing a small set of cabinets
Replacing a countertop
Completing a partial kitchen update
Removing limited flooring and drywall
Working in a compact driveway
Its dimensions are 7' x 11' x 3.5'. The lower height makes it easier to load manually.
14-yard bin: the best fit for most kitchen gut jobs
Choose the 14-yard bin if you are removing:
All upper and lower cabinets
Countertops
Backsplash
Flooring
Drywall
Trim
Shelving
General renovation debris
The 14-yard bin measures 8' x 14' x 3.5'. It offers more room for bulky kitchen materials without the extra height of a 20-yard bin.
20-yard bin: kitchen plus additional rooms
Choose the 20-yard bin if you are combining your kitchen demolition with:
A dining room renovation
Main-floor flooring removal
Several rooms of drywall removal
A basement or garage cleanout
A full main-floor renovation
A large contractor-led project
It measures 8' x 14' x 5' and provides more vertical capacity for bulky, lower-density waste.
Regular vs. All-In pricing: which should you choose?
Tor Bin Rental offers two pricing options.
Choose the Regular Rate if:
Your load is mostly light materials
You expect to stay within 1 metric tonne
You are removing cabinets, trim, cardboard, and limited drywall
You have a clear idea of the total debris weight
The Regular Rate includes:
7-day rental
Delivery
Pickup
Up to 1 metric tonne of disposal
Additional weight is charged at $130 per metric tonne.
Choose the All-In Rate if:
You are completing a full kitchen gut
Your load includes dense flooring or tile
You are unsure how heavy the debris will be
You want more predictable disposal costs
You prefer to avoid weight-based surprises
The All-In Rate includes unlimited disposal for the applicable rental. For many full kitchen demolitions, the extra cost provides useful budget protection.
👉 If your kitchen waste is bulky but light, then consider Regular. 👉 If your kitchen waste includes significant tile, drywall, flooring, or dense materials, then consider All-In.

Loading tips that prevent problems
Follow these steps after delivery:
Break down cabinets. Remove doors and drawers where possible.
Place heavy materials low. Put tile, countertops, and flooring near the bottom.
Distribute the load evenly. Do not pile everything on one side.
Keep prohibited items separate. Create an appliance and hazardous-materials pile.
Do not overfill. Debris must remain level with or below the top rail.
Protect yourself. Wear gloves, eye protection, and sturdy footwear.
Keep sharp objects contained. Avoid loose nails, broken glass, and exposed metal sticking above the load.
⚠️ NEVER load debris above the top of the bin. An overfilled bin may be unsafe to transport and may require unloading before pickup.
