Alliston Home Renovation Bin Rental: Which Size Fits a Kitchen, Basement or Bathroom Remodel?

August 19, 20266 min read

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.
