Kitchen Remodel Debris Guide | Deltona, FL

A kitchen or bathroom remodel generates a very specific mix of debris — some of it bulky and light, some of it surprisingly heavy — and knowing which is which before you book makes for a much better-sized container.

What actually comes out of a kitchen remodel

• Old cabinetry — bulky but relatively light
• Countertops — heavy, especially stone or tile-based surfaces
• Flooring — variable weight depending on material
• Appliances — bulky, and heavy if they contain refrigerant (handle separately)
• Drywall and backsplash material — moderate weight in volume

Bathroom remodel debris

• Tile — heavy, especially a full tear-out down to the subfloor
• Vanity and cabinetry — bulky, moderate weight
• Tub or shower enclosure — bulky and can be surprisingly heavy depending on material
• Toilet and fixtures — moderate weight, handle with some care for the container's rails

Sizing by scope

• Kitchen only, cabinetry and flooring: 15 yard
• Kitchen with stone countertop tear-out: consider a 20 yard given the added weight
• Kitchen and bathroom together: 20 yard
• Bathroom only, single room: 10 or 15 yard

Why mentioning countertop and tile material matters

Two remodels that look identical in scope — cabinetry, flooring, fixtures — can price and size very differently depending on whether the countertop is laminate or granite, and whether the bathroom tile is a thin layer or a thick, mortar-set installation. Telling us the material specifics up front avoids an under-sized container and a mid-project scramble for a second one.

Timing delivery around your contractor

Most kitchen and bathroom remodels benefit from delivery on the demolition day itself rather than days ahead — an empty container sitting on the driveway before demo starts is wasted rental time. Coordinate the start date with your contractor and tell us that date when you book.

A note on new construction versus renovation debris

If your remodel is part of a larger addition or new-construction project rather than a straightforward kitchen or bathroom swap, our new-construction guide covers the framing and buildout side of that debris separately.
