-
16 Yard Waste Bin
A compact and versatile option for smaller cleanup projects. Ideal for garage cleanouts, yard debris, minor renovations, and single-room remodels. Its footprint makes it easy to place in tighter driveways while still holding a substantial amount of material.

18 Yard Waste Bin
Our most requested size for roofing projects and mid-sized renovations. Handles shingles, drywall, flooring, and general demolition debris without overwhelming your property space. A strong balance between capacity and maneuverability.

20 Yard Waste Bin
Built for larger construction jobs, estate cleanouts, and heavy disposal needs. When volume matters and multiple loads aren’t practical, the 20-yard bin provides maximum efficiency with the same reliable Timberfell delivery and pickup service.

Waste Bin Size FAQ (16, 18, and 20 Yard Bins)
-
What does 16, 18, or 20 yard mean for a waste bin?
The yard number refers to the approximate volume of the bin in cubic yards. It is a quick way to compare capacity between bin options. If you are also concerned about the physical footprint on your driveway, ask us for placement guidance when booking.
-
Which bin size is best for a garage, basement, or small cleanout?
A 16-yard waste bin is usually the best starting point for smaller cleanouts and lighter renovation debris. If you expect a lot of bulky items or you are cleaning out multiple areas at once, an 18-yard bin can give you extra breathing room.
-
What size bin should I rent for a roofing tear-off?
An 18-yard bin is the most common choice for roofing tear-offs because it balances capacity and driveway space well. For larger roofs or heavier loads, a 20-yard bin may be a better fit. For smaller roofs or partial sections, a 16-yard bin can work.
-
Which waste bin size is best for a kitchen or bathroom renovation?
For a single-room renovation, a 16-yard bin is often enough for drywall, cabinets, flooring, and packaging. If you are renovating multiple rooms or doing heavier tear-outs, an 18-yard bin is a smart upgrade. For major remodels or combined projects, a 20-yard bin can save you from needing a second haul.
-
How do I estimate which size I need if I am unsure?
Think about two things: volume and weight. Bulky items (furniture, wood, drywall) take up space fast, while dense materials get heavy quickly. Tell us what you are disposing of, how many areas are being cleared, and whether you expect bulky or heavy debris, and we will recommend the right size.
-
Is a bigger bin always better?
Not always. A larger bin is helpful when you truly need the extra capacity, but driveway space, site access, and the type of debris all matter. Many projects fit perfectly in an 18-yard bin. If space is tight or the debris is very heavy, we may recommend a different approach.
-
Can I dispose of heavy materials like concrete, soil, or bricks?
Possibly, but you must tell us in advance. Heavy materials can change what size bin makes sense and how full the bin can be loaded safely. If your project involves dense debris, we will guide you on the best option before delivery.
-
What happens if I fill the bin past the top edge?
For safe hauling, debris should be loaded level with the top of the bin (no items sticking up or hanging over the sides). If you think you will exceed the bin capacity, contact us and we can discuss an additional pickup or a second bin.
-
Will the bin fit on my driveway in Kawartha Lakes?
In most cases, yes. We place bins on paved driveways, gravel surfaces, or firm ground areas with safe truck access. If you have a narrow driveway, soft shoulders, or limited turning space, mention it when booking so we can plan the best placement.
-
What if I pick the wrong bin size?
It happens. If you are early in the project and realize you need more (or less) space, contact us. Depending on availability, we can help you adjust with a swap, an extra pickup, or a second bin so you are not stuck.
