Choosing the Right Bin Size for Your Project: A WinBins Guide
One of the most common questions we hear at WinBins is: “What size bin do I need?”
The good news is that with WinBins, all of our bin sizes are the same price. That means you don’t have to worry about paying more simply because you need a larger container. Instead, you can focus on choosing the bin that’s best suited to the type of material you’re disposing of.
4-Yard Bins: Ideal for Heavy Materials
Our 4-yard bins are 12.5 ft long x 6.5 ft wide x 1.5 feet high, and are the go-to choice for dense, heavy materials that can quickly add up in weight.
Best For:
- Concrete removal
- Dirt and mud
- Asphalt
- Brick and stone
- Excavation projects
- Heavy demolition debris
While it may be our smallest bin, the 4-yard is often the smartest option for heavy materials. Concrete, soil, and brick can become extremely heavy, and a smaller bin helps keep loads manageable, as well as compliant with weight restrictions on public roads, all while still providing plenty of capacity.
12-Yard Bins: Perfect for Household Cleanups
The 12-yard bin is 13.5 ft long x 7.5 ft wide x 3.5 ft high. ideal for everyday residential cleanouts and decluttering projects.
Best For:
- Garage cleanouts
- Basement cleanups
- Furniture disposal
- Appliance removal
- Downsizing
- Small estate cleanouts
If you’re clearing out unwanted household items, old furniture, or appliances, the 12-yard bin offers plenty of space without being larger than necessary. The bins are also smaller in height at only 3.5 feet hig, and are thus a little easier to toss your items over the top if and when needed.
20-Yard Bins: Built for Large-Scale Cleanouts
For projects involving significant amounts of waste or bulky items, the 20-yard bin provides the extra capacity needed to get everything done in one trip. Our 20 Yard Bins stand at 14.5 ft long x 8 ft wide x 4.5 ft high.
Best For:
- Whole-home cleanouts
- Estate cleanouts
- Rental property turnovers
- Moving projects
- Large renovation cleanups
- Foreclosure and hoarding cleanouts
A 20-yard bin is perfect for large furniture, multiple appliances, mattresses, cabinets, and high volumes of household junk.

4-Yard Bin: Heavy materials such as concrete, dirt, mud, brick, and asphalt.
