Choosing the wrong bin size is one of the most common (and expensive) mistakes people make.
Too small?
You’ll need a second bin (and pay twice).
Too big?
You’re wasting money.
Let’s break it down so you can get it right the first time.
Common Bin Sizes in Kelowna
Most junk removal and bin rental companies offer 3 main sizes:
| Bin Size | Best For |
|---|---|
| 20 Yard | Small cleanups, garage junk, yard waste |
| 26-28 Yard | Medium projects, small renovations |
| 33Yard | Large cleanouts, construction, demolition |
20 Yard Bin & Smaller – Best for Small Projects
A 10 yard bin is perfect if you’re doing:
Garage cleanouts
Yard cleanup
Small furniture removal
Decluttering projects
Think: about 3 pickup truck loads.
Pro Tip:
If you’re unsure, this is the safest starting point.
26-28 Yard Bin – The Most Popular Option
This is the sweet spot for most homeowners.
Best for:
Bathroom renovations
Flooring removal
Medium cleanouts
Roofing jobs (small homes)
This size gives flexibility without overpaying.
33 Yard Bin – Best for Big Jobs
If you’re going big… go with this.
Perfect for:
Full home cleanouts
Large renovations
Construction debris
Demolition projects
This can handle heavy and bulky materials.
⚖️ How to Choose the Right Bin Size
Here’s the easiest way to decide:
Small pile = 10 yard
One room = 15 yard
Whole house or reno = 20-33 yard
Still unsure?
Always go slightly bigger — it’s cheaper than needing a second bin.
How Bin Size Affects Cost
Bigger bins cost more upfront…
BUT…
Smaller bins can cost MORE if you need multiple.
Typical pricing in Kelowna:
20 Yard & Smaller: $249 plus disposal fees
26-28 Yard: $299 plus disposal fees
33 Yard: $349 plus disposal fees
⚠️ Weight Limits (Most People Miss This)
This is where people get hit with extra fees.
Heavy materials like:
Concrete
Dirt
Roofing shingles
Can exceed weight limits FAST.
Pro Tip:
Ask about weight limits before booking.
