How Big of a Dumpster Do You Need for a Kitchen Renovation Project
  • Opening Intro -

    Remodeling your kitchen is an exciting time, but it can also be a little scary.

    With all the planning and preparation that goes into a kitchen remodel, some things may get overlooked, especially if you'll be doing most or all the work yourself.

-------------------------------------

One part of your kitchen remodel you don’t want to overlook is the demolition of your kitchen and disposing of the debris.

Plan Your Demolition

Planning out your kitchen remodel is crucial if you want to stay on budget and meet your completion deadline. If your demolition time is off or delayed, your entire remodeling project can fall behind schedule and cost you additional money in delays.

A key part of any successful demolition for any remodeling project is choosing the right dumpster for your needs. It will need to hold all of the scraps that come out of the demolition.

If it is a larger project, you may want a larger dumpster so that you don’t have to pay to get it hauled out multiple times.

There are very few renovation demolitions that can be done without the use of a dumpster or hoarding trash for multiple weeks.

Determine What Size Dumpster You Need

If your kitchen remodeling job is big and you plan to dispose of all of your old appliances, sinks, and cabinets, you need to select the right size dumpster to handle a lot of debris.

Keep in mind that you can save on all your dumpster rentals if you sell your large appliances or deliver them to a recycling company yourself and recycle your kitchen cabinets.

For most kitchen remodeling projects, a 10 to 20-yard roll-off dumpster is ideal. If your project is small, with no appliances or cabinets, stick to the smaller 10-yard dumpster to save money.

You don’t want to spend money on a large dumpster rental and only use a small portion of its capacity. The larger the dumpster, the more it costs to rent.

However, the larger the dumpster, the more you can throw out without needing to get it dumped. In many cases, the cost of dumping the dumpster multiple times is more than the cost of a larger dumpster.

Time is Money

If your demolition runs over your rental time agreement, which is usually seven days, you’ll end up paying for the additional time. If you don’t pay the added costs, the rental company can remove the dumpster, and you’ll be left with nowhere to dispose of tiles, flooring, cabinets, and other debris.

It’s important to remember that if you decide to haul away some of the debris yourself, most states have strict laws concerning what you can dispose of in a landfill. Additionally, most landfills are far away town so you may have to drive hours to properly dump your renovation debris. Plus, the cost of dumping at those landfills can be expensive.

With that being case, it’s probably a better idea to get a dumpster.
