Renovation debris is the reason most people rent a dumpster for the first time. A kitchen strip-out produces an astonishing volume of cabinet carcass, countertop and packaging; a bathroom produces less volume but far more weight once the tile and the old cast-iron come out; a roof tear-off is nearly all weight and almost no bulk. Those three jobs behave completely differently in a can, which is why a straight answer about size beats a size chart. The 16 cubic yard is the one most often reached for on a tear-off or a full-room remodel, the 10 suits a single tight room, and the 12 covers the middle. Two things genuinely worth knowing before you load: dense material fills a can by weight long before it fills it by eye, so a can that looks half empty can already be a full load of shingles or tile; and loading flat and level from the front makes far better use of the space than throwing everything in the middle. If you are a contractor working around Bainbridge and you want a straightforward number to call for a can on a job, this is it.
Every photo here is real Haul Off work.
Haul Off is based in Bainbridge and drops cans across Decatur County and the surrounding southwest Georgia towns: Climax, Attapulgus, Brinson, Donalsonville, Cairo, Whigham, Colquitt, Camilla and Thomasville. Bainbridge sits close to the Florida line, so if you are just over the state line it is still worth asking — call and say where you are.
Tell us what you are clearing out and roughly how much of it there is — a room, a garage, a whole house, a roof — and you will be told which of the three cans fits. Quotes are free, and if your job genuinely needs something bigger than a 16 cubic yard you will be told that too.
