Every renovation produces two different kinds of waste, and sizing the can means knowing which one your project leans toward. Volume waste — cabinets, framing, fixtures, packaging — fills the can before it troubles the scale. Density waste — tile, plaster, mortar, flooring tear-up — hits the weight allowance while the can still looks half empty. Connecticut's housing stock, with its plaster-and-lath prewar layer, produces more of the second kind than most homeowners expect.

Four sizes, flat rates $447 to $899, each with delivery, pickup, dumping, 7 days, and a weight allowance included. Here's the honest match between renovation scope and can.

Sizing by renovation scope

  • Bathroom gut10-yard, $447. The whole bath fits; watch weight on plaster-and-tile originals. 1,000 lbs included.
  • Kitchen demo15-yard, $547. Cabinets through drywall, comfortably. 2,000 lbs included.
  • Whole-floor renovation, or kitchen + bath together20-yard, $647. Multiple debris streams in one can. 4,000 lbs included.
  • Addition, gut renovation, down-to-the-studs30/40 two-can tier, $899. Two 20-yard cans — side by side, or drop-fill-swap so a can is always ready as demo rolls. 6,000 lbs combined.

Stuck between sizes? Up-size on volume-heavy projects (the step costs less than a second haul) and call us on density-heavy ones — flooring tear-ups and plaster guts sometimes size DOWN correctly, because weight will cap the load long before a bigger can helps. That call is free: (203) 219-8855.

The dense-debris math

The allowance system is simple: each size includes a disposal weight; past it you pay $0.10 per pound, which is the transfer station's scale rate passed through unmarked-up. Where renovations meet it:

  • Tile + mortar bed: a 100-sq-ft mud-set bathroom floor can run several hundred pounds on its own.
  • Plaster and lath: figure roughly double the weight of the equivalent drywall demo — prewar gut jobs are the classic overage load.
  • Flooring tear-up: hardwood + underlayment is moderate; tile-over-slab scraping is dense.
  • Drywall, framing, cabinets: the friendly stuff — volume-limited, almost never a weight problem.

Two honest levers when the debris is dense: keep the heaviest material to a size where the allowance fits the real load (and budget the published overage for the remainder), or split streams — dense demo in one can, light debris in the next. What you can't do is put concrete, brick, or asphalt pavement in any can — the clean-fill family is excluded outright, not surcharged. The deeper math lives at Dumpster Weight Limits Explained.

All four sizes — up-front pricing

Up-front pricing. No zone pricing. Each size includes delivery, pickup, dumping, the 7-day rental window, and a weight allowance shown below. Standard add-ons disclosed up-front and confirmed at booking. Tap any size for the dedicated size guide.

Included in your base rate

  • Delivery and pickup
  • Dumping at licensed transfer station
  • 7-day rental window
  • Included weight per size (see size table)
  • No zone pricing or driveway surcharges across our service area

Standard add-ons (disclosed up-front)

  • Overweight: $0.10 per pound over the included cap
  • Extension day: $15 per day beyond the 7-day window
  • Tire (if loaded): $50 each
  • CFC appliance (refrigerator, freezer, AC, dehumidifier — if loaded): $50 each
  • Mattress or box spring (if loaded): $50 each

Add-on charges reflect actual transfer-station and disposal fees passed through to you — we don't mark up overweight, extra items, or disposal costs.

Final pricing confirmed at booking based on actual weight, rental length, and items loaded.

What can’t go in the dumpster
  • Paint, solvents, oil, household chemicals (route through CT DEEP hazardous waste)
  • Batteries — any kind, lithium especially
  • Asbestos-containing materials (specialized hauler required)
  • Tires (route to a tire dealer or pay $50/each disposal fee if loaded)
  • Medical waste
  • Liquids of any kind
  • Customer is responsible for re-routing prohibited items. See the full prohibited-items list for Connecticut.

What you see is what you book — no zone pricing, no driveway surcharges, no weekend delivery fees. Standard charges for overweight, extension days, and certain prohibited items disclosed above and confirmed at booking.

Renovation-week logistics

The can outlasts the demo weekend. 7 days are included; renovation slippage is why extensions exist ($15/day, by phone). Most kitchen and bath jobs run demo in days one and two and use the rest of the window for the debris that trickles out of a live renovation.

Driveway placement, protected. Every can we run shares one 15-by-8-foot footprint — a parking spot. Plywood under the rails is cheap insurance on decorative driveways; ask and the driver places on boards.

Contractor coordination. If a GC is running your job, settle who books the can and who owns overage before demo day. Renovation debris disputes are always about the invoice nobody read — ours is published: Dumpster Rental Prices in CT.

Renovation dumpster FAQs

What size dumpster for a bathroom renovation?
The [10-yard](/10-yard-dumpster-rental-ct) at $447 — a full bath gut fits with room to spare. The caveat in Connecticut's older stock is weight: plaster walls and mud-set tile floors are dense, and the 1,000-lb allowance is the number to size against, not the cubic yards.
What size dumpster for a kitchen renovation?
The [15-yard](/15-yard-dumpster-rental-ct) at $547 in most cases — cabinets, counters, flooring, and drywall from a standard kitchen land comfortably inside it. Oversized kitchens, or a kitchen plus another room in the same demo, step up to the [20-yard](/20-yard-dumpster-rental-ct).
Can renovation debris and household junk share one can?
Yes — mixed loads are normal on renovations that double as clear-outs. Just size for the total: junk is bulky-light (fills volume), demo debris is dense (fills weight), and a mixed load meets both limits sooner than either alone. Describe the mix when you book and we'll size it honestly.
What renovation materials can't go in the can?
Concrete, brick, asphalt pavement, dirt, rock, sand, and gravel — the clean-fill family — plus paint, solvents, and chemicals (CT DEEP hazmat routes) and asbestos-suspect materials, which need a licensed abatement path, not a dumpster. Tile, plaster, drywall, framing, cabinets, fixtures, and flooring are all fine. Shingles too, if the roof is part of the project.
The contractor says they'll handle the dumpster. Should they?
Sometimes — but ask what they're charging for it. Disposal line items on contractor invoices often carry markup; our rates are published, so the comparison takes thirty seconds. If you rent the can yourself, make sure the crew knows the weight allowance and the no-concrete rule before demo day.
