Removing kitchen cabinets looks simple: until the old cabinets, countertops, backsplash, drywall, trim, flooring, and packaging are spread across your driveway.
If you are planning a kitchen tear-out in Alliston, the right bin keeps the cleanup controlled from day one. The wrong size can leave you with overflow, a second rental, or unexpected disposal costs.
Here is the practical answer:
Small cabinet-only removal: A 10-yard bin may be enough.
Typical full kitchen cabinet and countertop tear-out: Choose a 14-yard bin.
Full kitchen gut, multiple rooms, or bulky renovation waste: Consider a 20-yard bin.
Clean soil, concrete, or asphalt only: Use the 8-yard specialty bin.
The Best Alliston Bin for Most Kitchen Tear-Outs
For most homeowners, the 14-yard bin is the safest choice for a complete kitchen removal.
It provides room for:
Upper and lower cabinets
Cabinet doors, drawers, and shelving
Laminate, wood, or similar countertops
Backsplash and drywall
Trim and framing scraps
Flooring from the kitchen area
General renovation debris
A typical kitchen produces more waste than expected because cabinets are bulky. Even after you remove doors and drawers, the cabinet boxes take up substantial space.
Choose a 14-yard bin if:
You are removing most or all kitchen cabinets.
You are replacing countertops at the same time.
You are removing backsplash, drywall, trim, or flooring.
You want room for demolition waste without packing every inch.
You are completing the project yourself over several days.
The 14-yard bin measures 8' wide x 14' long x 3.5' tall.
When a 10-Yard Bin Makes Sense
A 10-yard bin can be the right option for a smaller kitchen cleanup. It is compact, easier to place in a tight driveway, and has a lower loading height.
The 10-yard bin measures 7' wide x 11' long x 3.5' tall.
Choose a 10-yard bin if:
You are removing only a short run of cabinets.
The countertops are lightweight laminate or wood.
You are not removing flooring or large sections of drywall.
You are reusing or donating some cabinets.
You are disposing of cabinet materials only, with limited extra debris.
The key is volume. Cabinets are not especially dense, but they are awkward and bulky. Break down larger cabinet sections where it is safe to do so. Remove doors and drawers. Place flat pieces strategically to reduce wasted space.
If you are unsure whether your kitchen waste will fit, the 14-yard bin gives you more breathing room for only a modest increase in size.
When to Move Up to a 20-Yard Bin
A 20-yard bin is the better choice when your kitchen project is part of a larger renovation.
Choose it when:
You are gutting the entire kitchen.
You are removing cabinets, countertops, flooring, drywall, and subfloor.
You are also renovating a bathroom, basement, or another room.
You have bulky furniture or additional household waste.
You want to avoid a second pickup or bin rental.
The 20-yard bin measures 8' wide x 14' long x 5' tall.
It has the same ground footprint as the 14-yard bin, but it is taller. That extra capacity helps when you have a high volume of lighter materials such as wood cabinets, drywall, packaging, and trim.
⚠️ Do not load debris above the top of the bin. Keep the load level with the rim so it can be safely transported.

What About Stone or Granite Countertops?

They add weight quickly.

Choose a 14-yard or 20-yard bin based on total volume.
Consider the All-In Rate if you are unsure about weight.
Do not mix clean concrete or asphalt with regular renovation waste without confirming first.

Quick Decision Guide

If you are removing a few cabinets and a lightweight countertop, then book the 10-yard bin.
If you are completing a normal full-kitchen tear-out, then book the 14-yard bin.
If you are gutting the kitchen plus other rooms, then book the 20-yard bin.
If you have only clean soil, concrete, or asphalt, then book the 8-yard specialty bin.
If your debris is heavy or you do not want to track disposal weight, then consider the All-In Rate.
