Choosing the wrong bin size is the fastest way to blow your renovation budget. Pick one too small, and you're paying for two deliveries. Pick one too large, and you’re paying to haul air.
At Tor Bin Rental, we see homeowners in Simcoe and Dufferin County struggle with this every day. You want to clear the debris quickly, but you don't want a massive steel box taking up your entire driveway for three weeks.
Here is the honest truth about kitchen renovation waste and why bigger isn't always better.
The Kitchen Reno "Goldilocks" Size: The 14-Yard Bin
For 90% of standard kitchen remodels, the 14-yard bin is the perfect fit. It is large enough to handle a full "gut" of a medium-sized kitchen but compact enough to fit comfortably in a single car space.
14-Yard Bin Specs:
Dimensions: 8' Wide x 14' Long x 3.5' High.
Best for: Cabinets, countertops, flooring, and standard appliances.
Capacity: Roughly 75–80 large trash bags.
Pricing:$325 (Standard Rate) or $460 All-In + 5% Fuel Surcharge.
Why it’s the winner: The 3.5-foot walls make it easy to lift heavy cabinet boxes or countertops over the side without straining your back.
When to Level Up: The 20-Yard "Beast"
If your project involves more than just swapping cabinets, you might need to step up. The 20-yard bin has the same footprint as the 14-yard but features taller walls to hold more volume.
20-Yard Bin Specs:
Dimensions: 8' Wide x 14' Long x 5' High.
Best for: Major structural changes, wall removals (drywall/studs), or multi-room renovations.
Capacity: Roughly 110–120 large trash bags.
Pricing:$350 (Standard Rate) or $590 All-In + 5% Fuel Surcharge.
⚠️ WARNING: If you are filling a 20-yard bin with heavy materials like tile or plaster, watch your weight limits. Taller walls make it tempting to overfill, which can lead to overweight charges.
The Honest Math: 14-Yard vs. 20-Yard
How do you know which one you actually need? Use this IF/THEN logic to self-diagnose your project:
IF you are removing a standard 12'x15' kitchen (cabinets, island, and appliances)...
IF you are also tearing down a wall to create an "open concept" space...
IF you are only doing a "refresh" (new counters and backsplash only)...
Pricing Transparency: July 2026 Rates
