How to Choose the Right Bin Size
Choosing the right bin depends on the type of project, the amount of waste, and the space available at your location. Here are a few simple tips to help you decide.

01 | Consider Your Project Type
Small cleanouts and minor renovations usually require smaller bins, while construction and large renovation projects need larger capacity.
02 | Estimate the Amount of Waste
If you’re unsure, it’s better to go slightly larger. Choosing a bin that’s too small may lead to additional costs or the need for another pickup.
03 | Check Available Space
Make sure you have enough space on your driveway or site to place the bin comfortably without blocking access.
