Planning Waste Disposal for a Home Renovation
Sequencing your container so it arrives when the debris does.
Estimate by phase
Demolition produces most of the waste, and it happens first. Schedule the container to land the day before demo starts, not the week before.
Kitchen remodels
A typical kitchen gut produces 8-12 cubic yards: cabinets, countertops, flooring, drywall and appliances. A 15 or 20 yard container covers it.
Bathroom remodels
Small volume but heavy. Cast iron tubs, tile and mortar bed add up. A 10 yard container is usually right.
Multi-phase projects
For whole-home renovations, a swap-out schedule beats one giant container. You keep the site clear and only pay for what you fill.
