Renovating your Barrie home creates waste quickly.
Old cabinets. Drywall. Flooring. Fixtures. Packaging. Trim. Demolition debris.
The right bin keeps your project moving. The wrong size can mean overflow, extra handling, or a second rental.
This guide compares Tor Bin Rental’s 10-yard, 14-yard, and 20-yard bins for common home renovation projects. Use the if/then guide below to choose the right fit for your kitchen, bathroom, basement, or addition.
Tor Bin Rental delivers driveway-safe bins in Barrie, Alliston, Lisle, Everett, Angus, and surrounding communities.
Quick answer: Which renovation bin do you need?
Use this simple rule:
If you are renovating one bathroom or completing a small demolition, then choose the 10-yard bin.
If you are updating a kitchen, basement room, garage, or one larger area, then choose the 14-yard bin.
If you are gutting a full kitchen, renovating multiple rooms, or building an addition, then choose the 20-yard bin.
If your waste is mainly soil, concrete, or asphalt, then choose the specialty 8-yard bin. It is not for household or construction waste.
Your material type matters as much as the volume. Cabinets and drywall are bulky. Tile, concrete, brick, and soil are heavy.
Do not mix heavy clean fill with regular renovation waste. Book the correct bin category for the material you are removing.
Renovation bin sizes and July 2026 pricing
The following are Tor Bin Rental’s July 2026 starting rates for household and construction waste.
The 8-yard bin measures 7' x 14' x 2'. It is specialty-only for:
Soil
Concrete
Asphalt
It is not available for household or construction waste.
What is included in the Regular 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.
A 5% fuel surcharge applies. Prices are starting rates, vary by postal code, and are subject to H.S.T.
Regular Rate or All-In Rate?
Choose the Regular Rate if your renovation creates a moderate amount of waste and you are comfortable paying for additional disposal by weight.
Choose the All-In Rate if you want more predictable disposal costs and do not want to track every load going into the bin. All-In disposal is subject to the applicable material and loading requirements.
10-yard bin: Best for one small renovation area
The 10-yard bin is compact and easy to load. Its 7' x 11' x 3.5' footprint works well in residential driveways where space is limited.
Choose the 10-yard bin if:
You are gutting one small bathroom.
You are replacing a vanity, toilet, tub, or shower.
You are removing a modest amount of bathroom tile.
You are replacing flooring in one or two rooms.
You are completing a small garage cleanout.
You are removing cabinets from a small kitchenette.
You are handling a limited demolition project.
Bathroom renovation example
A typical bathroom demolition may include:
Vanity
Toilet
Tub or shower enclosure
Drywall
Flooring
Backer board
Some tile
Cardboard and packaging
That scope usually fits a 10-yard bin.
Move up to a 14-yard bin if you are removing tile from the walls and floor, taking out a thick mortar bed, or renovating more than one bathroom.
⚠️ Tile and mortar are heavy. Load gradually and keep the debris below the rim.
14-yard bin: The renovation sweet spot
The 14-yard bin measures 8' x 14' x 3.5'. It offers a strong balance of capacity, footprint, and loading height.
For many Barrie homeowners, this is the best choice for a standard kitchen or medium-sized renovation.
Choose the 14-yard bin if:
You are replacing kitchen cabinets and countertops.
You are removing appliances, drywall, and flooring from one kitchen.
You are renovating a basement room.
You are clearing a garage before a remodel.
You are removing a small deck or non-masonry structure.
You are renovating a kitchen and bathroom together.
You are handling a medium-sized addition demolition.
You have bulky but relatively lightweight materials.
A 14-yard bin is also a practical option for projects in tighter driveways. Its driveway-safe design helps protect asphalt, concrete, interlock, and other property surfaces during delivery and pickup.
Kitchen renovation example
A partial kitchen update may include:
Upper and lower cabinets
Countertops
Sink and faucet
One or two appliances
Drywall
Flooring
Packaging and trim
For that scope, choose the 14-yard bin.
If you are removing the kitchen down to the framing, including subflooring, walls, heavy tile, and multiple appliances, consider the 20-yard bin instead.
20-yard bin: Best for full gut renovations and additions
The 20-yard bin measures 8' x 14' x 5'. It has the same ground footprint as the 14-yard bin but provides 1.5 feet of additional height.
That extra space matters when your renovation creates a large volume of bulky waste.
Choose the 20-yard bin if:
You are completing a full kitchen gut.
You are removing cabinets, flooring, drywall, appliances, and subflooring.
You are renovating a full basement.
You are working on multiple rooms at once.
You are adding a room or expanding an existing addition.
You are removing large amounts of framing lumber.
You are completing a major interior demolition.
You want to reduce the risk of needing a second bin.
A full kitchen renovation can create more waste than expected. Cabinets take up space. Countertops are awkward to stack. Flooring and drywall fill gaps quickly.
If your kitchen project also includes removing a wall or renovating an adjoining dining room, the 20-yard bin gives you more working room.
Addition renovation example
A small addition may fit a 14-yard bin if you are removing only one room’s finishes.
Choose the 20-yard bin if the project includes:
Structural demolition
Framing lumber
Roofing materials
Siding
Insulation
Drywall
Flooring
Multiple rooms
Large amounts of packaging
⚠️ Never load waste above the top rim. Overloaded bins cannot be safely transported and may require unloading before pickup.

Final recommendation
Choose the bin based on both volume and material:
10-yard: One bathroom or small renovation.
14-yard: Standard kitchen, basement room, garage, or medium project.
20-yard: Full kitchen gut, basement renovation, addition, or multi-room demolition.
8-yard specialty bin: Soil, concrete, or asphalt only.
When you are between sizes, choose the larger bin. The cost difference between the 14-yard and 20-yard Regular Rate is only $25, while a second delivery can disrupt your renovation schedule.
