If you’re diving into spring cleaning, tackling a renovation, or clearing out that overstuffed garage, chances are you’ll need a junk bin. But one of the first questions we get at You Junk It… I Dump It is:
“What size bin should I rent?”
Choosing the right size helps you avoid paying for space you don’t need—or worse, running out of room halfway through your clean-up. Here’s a breakdown to help you figure it out:
🟢 12 Cubic Yard Bin
12 ft. (L) x 6 ft. (W) x 4 ft. (H)
Best for: Light cleanups, yard waste, or small home projects
Holds roughly: 4 pickup truck loads
This is our most compact bin—perfect for garage cleanouts, basement purges, yard trimmings, or small-scale renos like a bathroom refresh. Fits easily in most driveways and is a great option for first-timers.
🔵 15 Cubic Yard Bin
12 ft. (L) x 6 ft. (W) x 5 ft. (H)
Best for: Medium-sized cleanouts or small renovation jobs
Holds roughly: 5–6 pickup truck loads
Got some old furniture, a bunch of boxes, and renovation debris? The 15-yard is that sweet spot when the 12 just won’t cut it, but you don’t need to go full-on mega-bin. A favourite for spring cleaning and small contractor projects.
🟠 20 Cubic Yard Bin
12 ft. (L) x 7 ft. (W) x 6 ft. (H)
Best for: Full-room renos, large household junk, or estate cleanouts
Holds roughly: 7–8 pickup truck loads
This is the heavy lifter of mid-size bins. If you’re gutting a kitchen, ripping out carpet and drywall, or dealing with bulky furniture, this bin gives you breathing room to get the job done.
🟡 25 Cubic Yard Bin
16 ft. (L) x 7.5 ft. (W) x 6 ft. (H)
Best for: Larger construction jobs or full-house cleanouts
Holds roughly: 9–10 pickup truck loads
Doing a major renovation or whole-home purge? The 25-yarder handles it all—shingles, siding, cabinetry, appliances, and more. It’s got length, width, and depth to spare, so you can go big without stressing.
🔴 30 Cubic Yard Bin
16 ft. (L) x 7.5 ft. (W) x 8 ft. (H)
Best for: Commercial projects, large demo jobs, or hoarder-level cleanouts
Holds roughly: 11–12 pickup truck loads
This is our biggest bin—and when we say big, we mean it. Ideal for construction sites, major renovation tear-outs, or anyone doing a “burn it all down and start fresh” kind of cleanup.
🤷 Not Sure What You Need?
Here’s a quick cheat sheet:
- 🧹 Spring cleaning or garage clear-out? → 12 or 15 Yard
- 🛠️ Kitchen reno or full basement cleanout? → 20 Yard
- 🏚️ Large home reno or construction project? → 25 or 30 Yard
