Remodeling Dumpster Rental
Roll-off dumpsters for kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, flooring removal, cabinets, drywall, trim, and renovation debris.
Dumpster Rental for Remodeling Debris
Remodeling debris is usually mixed: cabinets, drywall, flooring, trim, doors, fixtures, packaging, and sometimes heavier material from older homes. A dumpster keeps the work area cleaner and gives the homeowner or contractor one controlled loading point.
FTH Services helps match the dumpster to the project scope, available placement area, and debris type. Heavy material should be loaded low and spread evenly. Concrete, dirt, brick, rock, heavy fill, and tree stumps are not accepted in standard rentals.

Typical Weight Chart
Use these estimates to plan the dumpster size and avoid surprise overage. Standard rentals include the disposal weight shown for the selected dumpster, and weight over the included amount is billed at $85 per ton, prorated.
| Common item or material | Typical planning weight | Dumpster planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Drywall | about 1.6–2.2 lb per square foot of 1/2-inch sheet | Wet drywall weighs more. Spread stacks low and avoid concentrating weight in one corner. |
| Carpet and padding | about 0.5–1.5 lb per square foot | Rain can make carpet much heavier. Roll or fold when practical. |
| Kitchen cabinet section | about 40–120 lb each | Break down boxes and shelves when practical to save space. |
| Toilet | about 70–120 lb each | Residential fixtures are common remodel debris; load low and avoid breaking porcelain into loose sharp piles. |
| Bathroom vanity | about 80–200 lb each | Weight depends on top material and size. Stone tops can be much heavier than standard vanities. |
| Interior door | about 20–80 lb each | Flat items are best loaded low or along the side wall. |
These are planning estimates only. Actual scale weight varies by size, moisture, material density, brand, construction method, and how the load is packed. FTH Services uses disposal facility weight tickets for final billing when overage applies.
Service Questions
What remodeling debris can go in the dumpster?
Common remodeling debris includes cabinets, drywall, flooring, trim, doors, fixtures, packaging, and light demolition debris. Keep restricted items out and plan unusually heavy material before loading.
Can tile go in a remodeling dumpster?
Small amounts of tile from a normal remodel may need review before loading because tile is heavy. Concrete, dirt, brick, rock, and heavy fill are not accepted in standard rentals.
Which dumpster size works for a remodel?
The 17-yard is useful for many bathroom and smaller kitchen projects. The 20 or 21-yard dumpsters are better for larger remodels, bulky debris, or contractor cleanup.
