Planning a renovation in Alliston? You need a bin that fits your project, your driveway, and your budget.
A bathroom update may only need a compact 10-yard bin. A full basement renovation can require a 20-yard bin. A standard kitchen remodel usually falls between the two.
This guide compares Tor Bin Rental’s 10-yard, 14-yard, and 20-yard bins for common Alliston home renovation projects. It also explains current starting rates, rental terms, material restrictions, and how to book online.
Quick answer: which bin size should you choose?
Use this simple guide:
If you are renovating one bathroom or completing a small single-room cleanup, then choose the 10-yard bin.
If you are replacing kitchen cabinets, flooring, drywall, and countertops, then choose the 14-yard bin.
If you are gutting a basement, renovating multiple rooms, or handling bulky construction debris, then choose the 20-yard bin.
If your load is only soil, concrete, or asphalt, then choose the specialty 8-yard bin. It is not for mixed renovation waste.
For a direct side-by-side comparison, read our guide to 10-yard vs. 14-yard bin rentals for renovation projects.
Tor Bin Rental sizes and dimensions
Here are the three standard renovation sizes available for household and construction waste:
All three are designed for renovation, household, and construction waste. The lower 3.5-foot wall height on the 10-yard and 14-yard bins also makes loading easier.
10-yard bin: best for a bathroom remodel
A bathroom renovation can create more waste than expected. You may remove:
An old bathtub or shower
Vanity and cabinets
Toilet
Tile and flooring
Drywall and trim
Packaging from new fixtures
Small amounts of lumber or framing material
For most single-bathroom renovations in Alliston, the 10-yard bin is the practical starting point.
Choose the 10-yard bin if:
You are renovating one bathroom.
You are completing a powder-room update.
You are removing a vanity, toilet, tub, tile, and drywall.
You have a narrow or short driveway.
You are combining a small renovation with a garage or basement corner cleanout.
The 10-yard bin measures 7' x 11' x 3.5'. Its smaller footprint is useful when you need to preserve parking space or leave room for contractors and materials.
⚠️ If you are removing concrete, a large amount of masonry, or substantial soil, do not automatically use a standard renovation bin. Heavy materials can reach weight limits quickly. Contact Tor Bin Rental before booking if your bathroom project includes unusually heavy debris.
14-yard bin: the right fit for most kitchen renovations
The 14-yard bin is often the best choice for a standard kitchen remodel in Alliston.
Kitchen demolition may include:
Upper and lower cabinets
Countertops
Backsplash tile
Flooring
Drywall
Appliances
Trim and shelving
Light framing
Cardboard and packaging
A 14-yard bin gives you more room for bulky materials without jumping to the taller 20-yard option.
Choose the 14-yard bin if:
You are completing a full kitchen renovation.
You are removing cabinets, counters, flooring, and drywall.
You are renovating a kitchen plus one additional room.
You are completing a moderate main-floor remodel.
You want extra room to avoid a second pickup or rental.
The 14-yard bin measures 8' x 14' x 3.5'. The low height helps you load heavy cabinets, flooring, and drywall more safely.
Why choose 14 yards instead of 10?
The price difference between the 10-yard and 14-yard All-In rates is meaningful, but so is the added capacity. If your kitchen project is close to the limit of a 10-yard bin, upgrading can be more efficient than ordering another bin later.
If you are removing only a small vanity, a few cabinets, and limited flooring, then choose 10 yards.
If you are gutting the kitchen and removing cabinets, counters, flooring, drywall, and appliances, then choose 14 yards.
20-yard bin: best for basement renovations and large projects
Basement renovations often involve more volume than a single-room remodel. You may be removing:
Carpet or laminate flooring
Drywall from several walls
Drop ceiling tiles
Framing and partition walls
Old insulation
Built-in shelving
Furniture and household contents
Bathroom or kitchenette materials
Construction packaging
Choose the 20-yard bin for a full basement gut, a large basement cleanout, or a renovation involving several rooms.
Choose the 20-yard bin if:
You are stripping a finished basement back to the structure.
You are renovating a basement and bathroom together.
You are removing several rooms of flooring and drywall.
You are combining a renovation with a large household cleanout.
You are managing a larger contractor-led project.
The 20-yard bin measures 8' x 14' x 5'. It has the same length and width as the 14-yard bin, but additional height for more volume.
When should you choose 14 yards instead?
A basement does not always require a 20-yard bin. Choose the 14-yard option if you are only removing:
A small amount of carpet
Furniture and stored household items
Limited drywall
Trim and shelving
Waste from one section of the basement
If the basement is a light cleanout or partial update, then choose 14 yards.
If it is a full demolition or combined renovation and cleanout, then choose 20 yards.
