Planning an Alliston garage cleanout? The right bin can make the job faster and cheaper. The wrong one can leave you paying for unused space: or booking a second bin when the first one was too small.
For most single-garage cleanouts, a 14-yard bin is the best starting point. But your ideal size depends on how much material you have, how bulky it is, and whether anything heavy is mixed in.
This guide breaks down the options using July 2026 pricing and dimensions, so you can book with confidence.
Quick Answer: Which Bin Should You Book?
Use this simple rule:
✅ Book a 10-yard bin if you are cleaning out part of a garage or have mostly bagged, light household waste.
✅ Book a 14-yard bin if you are clearing a full single-car garage with boxes, shelving, tools, bikes, bags, and general junk.
✅ Book a 20-yard bin if you have a two-car garage, bulky materials, or garage waste plus another room.
⚠️ Book an 8-yard specialty-only bin if you are removing only clean soil, concrete, or asphalt.
If you are unsure, estimate your waste in pickup-truck loads:
10-yard: approximately 4–5 pickup-truck loads
14-yard: a full garage cleanout or moderate mixed cleanup
20-yard: a larger, bulky cleanout or multiple areas
Do not choose the biggest bin automatically. Do not choose the cheapest option without checking the weight and volume.

10-Yard Bin: Best for a Smaller Garage Cleanout
Choose the 10-yard bin if your cleanout is controlled and relatively light.
Book a 10-yard bin if:
You are clearing one side of a garage.
You have mostly boxes, bags, plastic storage bins, and light household junk.
You are removing old shelving but not large quantities of construction debris.
You expect roughly 4 pickup-truck loads or less.
You want a lower loading height and compact driveway footprint.
The 10-yard bin measures 7' wide x 11' long x 3.5' tall. It works well in residential driveways and is easier to load than a taller container.
Avoid the 10-yard bin if:
You are clearing an entire two-car garage.
You have many bulky items that cannot be broken down.
You are including garage waste plus basement, attic, or renovation debris.
You expect to pack material above the top of the bin.
A too-small bin can lead to a second delivery. That usually costs more than choosing the 14-yard bin from the beginning.
14-Yard Bin: The Best Fit for Most Alliston Garages
For a typical full garage cleanout, the 14-yard bin is usually the practical choice.
It measures 8' wide x 14' long x 3.5' tall. That gives you more floor space than the 10-yard bin without jumping to the full height of a 20-yard container.
Choose the 14-yard bin if you are removing:
Old tools and equipment
Cardboard and household clutter
Broken shelving and workbenches
Bikes, lawn equipment, and storage items
Bagged garbage
Small amounts of drywall, wood, or renovation debris
General mixed household waste
The 14-yard Regular Rate starts at $325, the same starting price as the 10-yard Regular Rate. That extra capacity can help prevent overfilling without increasing the starting Regular price.
The All-In Rate starts at $460.
Why the 14-yard often prevents overpaying
You get a useful balance:
More capacity than a 10-yard bin
Lower overall cost than a 20-yard All-In bin
Moderate loading height
Enough length for awkward garage materials
Suitable for most residential driveways
If your Alliston garage is full but not packed with heavy debris, start with the 14-yard option.
20-Yard Bin: Use It for Bulky or Combined Cleanouts
The 20-yard bin measures 8' wide x 14' long x 5' tall. It is designed for larger volumes of waste, especially bulky but relatively light materials.
Choose the 20-yard bin if:
You are cleaning out a two-car garage.
You are combining the garage with an attic, basement, or shed.
You have large amounts of broken-down furniture or bulky household items.
You are removing light construction or renovation debris.
You want to reduce the chance of needing a bin swap.
The 20-yard Regular Rate starts at $350. That is only $25 more than the 14-yard Regular Rate. If your project is close to the limit, the added capacity may be worth it.
However, the 20-yard All-In Rate starts at $590, which is $130 more than the 14-yard All-In Rate. Do not book the larger All-In bin unless you actually need the volume.
⚠️ A taller bin can also be harder to load. Break down boxes, shelving, and lightweight bulky items before loading whenever possible.
8-Yard Bin: Not for General Garage Garbage
The 8-yard bin is specialty-only. It measures 7' wide x 14' long x 2' tall.
Use it only for:
Clean soil
Concrete
Asphalt
Do not use the 8-yard specialty bin for:
Household garbage
Mixed garage junk
Wood
Drywall
Insulation
Shingles
Brush or yard waste
Furniture or appliances
If your garage cleanout includes a concrete floor removal or old asphalt, separate that material from your household waste. Contact us to confirm the correct specialty bin before booking.
Regular or All-In? Pick the Rate That Fits Your Garage
The bin size is only half the decision. Your rate type matters too.
Choose Regular if:
Your garage waste is mostly light household junk.
You are removing boxes, plastic, clothing, shelving, and general clutter.
You are confident the load will stay under 1 metric tonne.
You want the lowest starting price.
Choose All-In if:
Your load includes drywall, tile, concrete, soil, or dense construction debris.
You are unsure how heavy the material will be.
You prefer one predictable disposal price.
You want to avoid a potential $130 per metric tonne overage charge.
👉 If your garage cleanout is bulky but light, choose Regular. If it is dense, mixed, or difficult to estimate, choose All-In.

Booking to Pickup: What to Expect
1. Booking
Book online 24/7. Select your bin size, waste type, rental term, and delivery location.
You can choose:
3-day rental
7-day rental
Monthly rental
For most Alliston garage cleanouts, a 7-day rental gives you enough time to sort, donate, dismantle, and load without rushing.
2. Delivery
Tor Bin Rental provides driveway-safe placement using protective boards to help prevent damage to asphalt, concrete, and other surfaces.
Same-day or next-day delivery may be available across Simcoe County, including Alliston, Angus, Lisle, and Everett, depending on availability.
Before delivery:
Clear vehicles from the driveway.
Move bins, trailers, and stored items.
Keep the delivery path accessible.
Check for low branches or overhead obstructions.
Tell us about gates or tight access points.
See the current service area and delivery locations for more information.
3. Loading
Load heavier material on the bottom. Break down bulky items first. Distribute the weight evenly.
Important loading rules:
Keep the load level with the top of the bin.
Do not load above the side rails.
Point sharp objects downward.
Do not place hazardous materials in the bin.
Keep soil, concrete, and asphalt separate from general waste.
⚠️ Never overfill the bin. An unsafe load may not be transportable.
4. Pickup and Disposal
When your cleanout is finished, arrange pickup. We remove the bin and handle disposal according to the waste type.
Need more time? Ask about an extension. Finished early? Contact us to arrange an earlier pickup when possible.

Common Alliston Garage Cleanout Mistakes
Avoid these problems:
❌ Booking a 10-yard bin for a completely full two-car garage
❌ Choosing a 20-yard All-In bin for a small amount of light clutter
❌ Mixing concrete or soil with household waste
❌ Assuming every garage item is lightweight
❌ Filling above the top rail
❌ Forgetting the 5% fuel surcharge and H.S.T.
❌ Leaving no room for the delivery truck
❌ Waiting until the last day to request pickup or an extension
A few minutes of planning can prevent a second delivery or unexpected disposal costs.
