Remove old cabinets, countertops, flooring, and appliances during your kitchen renovation. Find the right dumpster size, get expert tips, and order with same-day delivery available.
Kitchen remodels generate a concentrated burst of heavy debris in a short time. On demo day, your contractor tears out cabinets, countertops, backsplash tile, flooring, and sometimes walls. That material (particleboard, granite or laminate countertops, ceramic tile, hardwood or vinyl flooring, drywall, and old plumbing fixtures) needs somewhere to go immediately so the new installation can begin.
A dumpster on site during your kitchen remodel keeps the demolition debris contained and out of your living space. Your contractor loads the old materials directly into the container instead of piling them in your garage or yard. For most standard kitchen remodels (100-200 square feet of kitchen space), a 10 or 15-yard dumpster handles the demo debris with room for packaging waste from new cabinets and materials.
If your kitchen remodel includes removing a wall, changing the floor plan, or replacing subflooring, you may generate enough additional debris to warrant a 20-yard container. When in doubt, size up. The cost difference between a 15 and 20-yard is small compared to the hassle and expense of needing a second container.
A 15-yard dumpster handles the cabinets, countertops, flooring, tile, and drywall from a standard kitchen remodel. If your project includes knocking out walls or replacing subflooring, step up to a 20-yard.

Common questions about dumpster rental for kitchen remodel projects.
Most appliances are accepted, including dishwashers, ranges, microwaves, and sinks. Refrigerators and freezers may require Freon removal before disposal. Check with us and we can arrange that service if needed.
A 15-yard dumpster is the most popular size for kitchen remodels. It holds the debris from cabinets, countertops, flooring, and drywall in a typical kitchen. For larger kitchens or projects that include structural changes, a 20-yard gives you extra capacity.
Kitchen demo debris is moderately heavy. Ceramic tile, stone countertops, and old cabinetry add weight quickly. A standard kitchen demo typically produces 1-3 tons of debris. Our 15-yard dumpsters come with a weight allowance that covers most kitchen remodels.
