Deck Demolition in Tottenham: 10, 14 or 20 Yards : Pick the Right Bin First

[UPDATE NEEDED] — this article references outdated rates or dates. Please review and update.
September 19, 20267 min read

Removing an old deck in Tottenham creates more waste than most homeowners expect.

You are not only removing deck boards. You may also be handling:

  • Joists and support beams

  • Railings and stairs

  • Posts and framing

  • Lattice and skirting

  • Fasteners and hardware

  • Packaging from replacement materials

  • Concrete footings or patio blocks

Choose a bin that is too small, and you may need a second pickup. Choose a bin that is too large, and you may pay for capacity you do not use.

This guide compares the 10-yard, 14-yard, and 20-yard bin dimensions, current July 2026 pricing, and the best setup for a simple deck tear-off versus a full deck and concrete footing removal.

Quick answer: which bin should you book?

Use this simple sizing rule:

  • If you are removing a small, single-level deck under approximately 200 square feet, then choose the 10-yard bin if the debris is mostly wood.

  • If your deck is medium-sized, approximately 150–250 square feet, then choose the 14-yard bin for additional room without the height of a 20-yard bin.

  • If you are removing a full deck between approximately 200–400 square feet, including stairs, railings, and framing, then choose the 20-yard bin.

  • If you are removing concrete footings, then do not mix the concrete with your household or construction waste. Book a separate 8-yard concrete bin or contact Tor Bin Rental to confirm the safest setup.

For a broader side-by-side guide, read our 10-yard vs. 20-yard bin sizing comparison.

10-yard bin dimensions: best for a small deck tear-off

10-yard bin: 7' wide × 11' long × 3.5' tall

The 10-yard bin is the most compact standard option for household and construction waste. Its lower wall height also makes it easier to load by hand.

Choose it for:

  • A small single-level deck

  • A deck tear-off under approximately 200 square feet

  • Limited railings and stairs

  • Mostly deck boards and light framing

  • A compact driveway or restricted placement area

  • A partial demolition where the existing structure is already removed

If you are removing deck boards and a small amount of framing, then the 10-yard bin may be enough.

If you are removing the entire structure, including heavy joists, stairs, railings, and posts, then measure carefully before choosing the 10-yard option. Wood takes up more space once it is dismantled and stacked loosely.

July 2026 10-yard pricing

  • $325 Regular Rate

  • $395 All-In Rate

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. The 5% fuel surcharge applies. Prices vary by postal code and are subject to H.S.T.

14-yard bin dimensions: the practical middle option

14-yard bin: 8' wide × 14' long × 3.5' tall

The 14-yard bin gives you more floor space than the 10-yard option while keeping the same lower 3.5-foot height. That makes it a useful choice for medium deck demolition projects.

Choose it for:

  • A medium single-level deck

  • A deck between approximately 150–250 square feet

  • More extensive railings or stairs

  • Heavier framing than a small deck tear-off

  • A deck demolition combined with a small garage or yard cleanup

  • Projects where a 10-yard bin may be too tight

The 14-yard bin is also 8 feet wide and 14 feet long, so confirm that your Tottenham property has enough clear space for delivery and safe placement.

If your deck is too large for a 10-yard bin but does not include several layers of bulky debris, then the 14-yard bin is a strong middle-ground choice.

If you are removing a large deck with substantial framing, multiple stair sections, or a full cleanout at the same time, then move up to the 20-yard option.

July 2026 14-yard pricing

  • $325 Regular Rate

  • $460 All-In Rate

Both the Regular and All-In options include the standard delivery and pickup service. The Regular Rate includes up to 1 metric tonne and a 7-day rental. Extra weight is $130 per metric tonne.

Remember:

  • 5% fuel surcharge applies

  • Prices vary by postal code

  • Prices are subject to H.S.T.

20-yard bin dimensions: best for a full deck demolition

20-yard bin: 8' wide × 14' long × 5' tall

The 20-yard bin has the same length and width as the 14-yard bin, but it is 1.5 feet taller. That additional height provides significantly more volume for bulky deck materials.

Choose it for:

  • A full deck demolition

  • A deck between approximately 200–400 square feet

  • Multi-level decks

  • Large stair systems

  • Heavy railings and skirting

  • Substantial joists, beams, and support framing

  • A deck demolition combined with other renovation debris

  • Contractor-led demolition projects

If you are removing the entire deck structure and want one bin for the lumber, railings, stairs, and framing, then choose the 20-yard bin.

If the deck is larger than approximately 400 square feet, or you are also clearing a garage, shed, or interior renovation waste, then plan for an additional bin or contact us before booking.

July 2026 20-yard pricing

  • $350 Regular Rate

  • $590 All-In Rate

The 20-yard Regular Rate includes:

  • 7-day rental

  • Delivery

  • Pickup

  • Up to 1 metric tonne of disposal

Additional weight is $130 per metric tonne. The 5% fuel surcharge applies, and all prices vary by postal code and are subject to H.S.T.

Deck tear-off versus full deck and footing removal

These two projects should not be planned the same way.

Option 1: Deck tear-off only

This usually includes:

  • Deck boards

  • Joists

  • Beams

  • Posts

  • Railings

  • Stairs

  • Lattice

  • Non-hazardous construction debris

Use this logic:

  • If the deck is small and mostly made of wood, then choose a 10-yard bin.

  • If the deck is medium-sized or includes a larger stair and railing system, then choose a 14-yard bin.

  • If you are removing the complete structure from a medium or large deck, then choose a 20-yard bin.

Do not fill above the top rim. Keep the load level so it can be transported safely.

Option 2: Full deck plus concrete footings

Concrete is a weight problem before it becomes a volume problem.

A few large concrete footings can quickly add substantial weight, even when the bin still looks mostly empty. For that reason:

  • If you are removing concrete footings, then separate them from the wood and mixed construction waste.

  • If the footings are clean concrete without rebar, then use the 8-yard concrete/asphalt bin.

  • If the concrete contains rebar or other mixed material, then contact Tor Bin Rental before booking.

  • If you have both a full wood deck and several concrete footings, then plan for a 20-yard household/construction bin for the deck and an 8-yard specialty bin for the concrete.

8-yard specialty bin dimensions

The specialty bin measures 7' wide × 14' long × 2' tall.

It is strictly for:

  • Concrete

  • Asphalt

  • Soil

Current July 2026 specialty rates include:

  • 8-yard Concrete/Asphalt: $350

  • 8-yard Soil: $300

⚠️ The 8-yard specialty bin is NOT for household or construction waste.

Do not place the following in an 8-yard concrete or soil bin:

  • Deck boards

  • Lumber

  • Drywall

  • Cabinets

  • Furniture

  • Shingles

  • Mixed renovation waste

  • Brush or yard waste

What if your deck demolition includes brush or yard waste?

Some Tottenham properties have decks surrounded by shrubs, branches, or overgrown landscaping. Keep this material separate from household and construction waste when possible.

For brush and yard waste:

  • 14-yard brush bin:$200 + $110 per tonne

  • 20-yard brush bin:$200 + $110 per tonne

If the project includes only branches, shrubs, and yard cleanup material, then choose a brush bin.

If the project includes both brush and demolished deck lumber, then contact us before combining materials. Different waste streams may require separate disposal planning.

Regular Rate or All-In Rate?

Your rate choice depends on the material and how predictable the load is.

Choose the Regular Rate if:

  • Your deck is small

  • The load is mostly light wood

  • You expect to stay under 1 metric tonne

  • You have measured the debris carefully

  • You want the lower starting price

Choose the All-In Rate if:

  • The deck is large or multi-level

  • You are removing thick framing and stairs

  • You are combining demolition with a renovation cleanup

  • The final waste volume or weight is difficult to predict

  • You want unlimited disposal for the applicable rental

The All-In rates are:

  • 10-yard: $395

  • 14-yard: $460

  • 20-yard: $590

A 5% fuel surcharge applies to rates. Prices vary by postal code and are subject to H.S.T.

Booking and delivery checklist for Tottenham

Follow this process to keep your demolition on schedule:

  1. Measure the deck. Calculate the approximate length × width.

  2. Choose the bin. Match the deck size and material mix to the 10, 14, or 20-yard option.

  3. Separate concrete. Do not assume footings belong in the same bin as the deck lumber.

  4. Enter your postal code. Final pricing and availability can vary by location.

  5. Clear the placement area. Remove vehicles, planters, furniture, and other obstacles.

  6. Check access. Look for overhead wires, low branches, gates, and narrow approaches.

  7. Load safely. Keep everything below the top rim and distribute heavy materials carefully.

  8. Arrange pickup. Request early pickup or an extension if your project timeline changes.

Tor Bin Rental offers flexible 3-day, 7-day, and monthly rental terms, with easy extensions and early pickup options. Same-day or next-day delivery may be available.

Tottenham deck demolition: final recommendation

Use this quick guide:

  • Small deck tear-off under 200 square feet: Choose the 10-yard bin.

  • Medium deck around 150–250 square feet: Choose the 14-yard bin.

  • Full deck demolition around 200–400 square feet: Choose the 20-yard bin.

  • Deck lumber plus concrete footings: Use the 20-yard bin for the deck and an 8-yard concrete bin for clean footings.

  • Deck project plus shrubs and branches: Confirm whether a separate 14-yard or 20-yard brush bin is needed.

  • Uncertain size or mixed heavy materials: Contact Tor Bin Rental before booking.

If you are also comparing a dumpster rental in Alliston or planning an Alliston home renovation bin rental, the same sizing principles apply. Start with the material type, then estimate the volume, then confirm the postal code-specific rate.
