Kitchen Remodel Dumpster Rental

Sizing the box for a typical kitchen tear-out

A standard kitchen demo produces bulky debris: base and wall cabinets, a countertop, a sink, old flooring, drywall, a soffit or two, and plenty of packaging from the new materials. For most homes, a 20 yard dumpster for a kitchen remodel gives enough room to take all of it in one rental.

Our 20-yard roll-off costs $455 with 2 tons included. It is about 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4.5 ft high, so long pieces like countertop sections and upper cabinets lie flat. A galley kitchen with no flooring or wall work may fit a 10-yard, while an open-concept project that removes walls often needs the 30-yard with 3 tons included.

A demo-week schedule that fits the 7-day rental

Every rental comes with 7 days, and a little planning keeps you inside that window. Order the container for the morning demo starts, not days earlier while the old kitchen is still in use. Tear out from the top down: upper cabinets, then counters, then base cabinets, then flooring.

Load as you go so debris doesn't pile up inside the house. Break down cabinet boxes so they nest flat, and put heavy items like tile and stone counters on the floor of the container first. If the project slips, extra days are $25 each, and we pick up as soon as you call. Because we don't offer swap-outs, a second container is a new rental if you need more room.

• Day 1: uppers, soffits and backsplash
• Day 2: counters, sink and base cabinets
• Days 3–4: flooring and damaged drywall
• Days 5–7: packaging and final cleanup

Appliances, counters and things to keep out

Granite, quartz and laminate counters can go in, as can tile, plywood subfloor and drywall. Stone counters are heavy, so mention them when you book. Refrigerators, freezers and other Freon appliances need to be tagged as evacuated before they can be loaded. Leave out paint that is still wet, cleaners, cooking oil and other liquids.

If you'd rather not handle old appliances yourself, our junk removal crew can haul them along with any furniture. For the complete rules, read what you can put in a dumpster.

Keeping neighbors, HOAs and driveways happy

Kitchens are usually remodeled while the family still lives at home, so the container needs to work around daily life. We place driveway protection boards under every box at no charge and can position it to leave room for a car. Many HOA neighborhoods ask that containers stay on the driveway rather than the street, so check your community's rules before delivery.

A container on your own driveway normally doesn't need a permit. If it has to sit on a public street, the city may require right-of-way approval, so check with the city or call us to talk through placement.

Where we deliver kitchen renovation containers

We book kitchen renovation dumpster rental jobs all over the region from our Portsmouth yard. In Virginia Beach, 1970s split-levels in Kempsville and Kings Grant are a common sight, and in Norfolk we often place boxes behind older homes in Larchmont and Park Place where the alley offers the best access. Visit our Virginia Beach dumpster service or Newport News dumpster rental page for local details.

We also cover Chesapeake, Hampton, Portsmouth, Suffolk, York County and Isle of Wight County. Doing the bathroom at the same time? See our bathroom remodel dumpster page, then call or text 757-250-7985 to book.
