Renovation debris adds up faster than most homeowners expect. Planning it upfront keeps your project on budget.
Estimate by room
A kitchen remodel typically produces 4–6 tons of debris; a full bathroom gut about 1–2 tons; new flooring throughout a 2,000 sq ft home can fill a 20 yard container.
Time the delivery
Have the container arrive the day demolition starts, not a week early, so you are not paying for unused days.
Separate salvage
Cabinets, doors and fixtures in good condition can go to Habitat for Humanity ReStore instead of the landfill.
Load smart
Break down boxes, flatten material and put heavy items on the bottom spread evenly.
