Preparing for Your Bin Rental: A Quick Guide for Contractors

Renting a bin sounds simple until you’re staring at a driveway full of debris and realize you ordered the wrong size. Here’s how to get it right the first time.

Pick the right size

As a rough guide: 14-yard bins suit small renovations, 20–30 yard bins cover most residential demolition or roofing jobs, and 40-yard bins are built for larger commercial teardown projects.

Clear access before delivery

Make sure the drop-off spot is clear of overhead wires, parked cars, and soft ground — our trucks need a stable, level surface to place the bin safely.

Know what you’re allowed to load

Most bins accept general construction debris, but certain materials (like certain hazardous items) need to be called out ahead of time so we can plan for proper handling.

Book ahead during busy seasons

Spring and early summer are our busiest rental months — booking a few days ahead keeps your project on schedule.
