A Guide to Choosing the Right Size Disposal Bin for Your Project
When it comes to tackling a big project, one of the most important things to consider is how you will dispose of the waste that is generated. Whether you're remodeling your home, tackling a landscaping project, or undertaking a construction or demolition job, the
right size disposal bin
can make all the difference. In this guide, we'll show you how to determine the right size bin for your project and provide tips for making the most of your rental.
First, consider the scope of your project. How much waste will you generate? A small home renovation project may only require a small bin, while a large construction or demolition project will likely require a much larger bin. Keep in mind that it's always better to rent a slightly larger bin than you think you'll need, as overfilling a bin can lead to safety hazards and additional charges.
Next, think about the types of materials you'll be disposing of. Different materials have different densities, and this can affect how much space they take up in a bin. For example, a bin filled with lightweight materials like drywall or insulation will take up less space than a bin filled with heavy materials like concrete or brick. It's important to consider the density of your materials when choosing a bin size.
Another important factor to consider is the location of the bin. Will the bin be placed on a public street, or will it be placed on private property? Will it be easily accessible for a large truck to pick up, or will there be any obstacles to navigate? These factors can all impact the size of bin you need to rent.
When you have a better understanding of the scope of your project and the materials you'll be disposing of, you can start to narrow down your options for bin sizes.

In addition to choosing the right size bin for your project, there are a few other things to keep in mind to make the most of your rental.
Make sure you have enough space for the bin. It's important to measure the area where the bin will be placed and make sure it will fit comfortably.
Be mindful of weight limits. Overfilling a bin can be dangerous, and it can also lead to additional charges. Be sure to spread the weight of the materials evenly throughout the bin to avoid overloading one area.
Consider the duration of your rental. If your project will take longer than expected, you may need to extend your rental or consider renting a larger bin to avoid having to constantly swap out full bins.
