Container Sizes for Construction Waste
Hippo Bins offers two core bin sizes that cover the majority of residential and commercial projects in Calgary. Both sizes fit on a standard driveway and meet City of Calgary placement requirements.
12 Yard Construction Container

Bin Size: L 13′ x W 6.5′ x H 5′. Best suited for single-room renovations, drywall removal, or small roofing jobs. This container holds roughly 4 to 5 pickup truck loads of construction debris. The compact footprint fits standard residential driveways, making it the go-to choice for bathroom remodels, flooring tear-outs, and interior demolition projects.
20 Yard Construction Container

Bin Size: L 15′ x W 8′ x H 5.5′. Designed for larger renovations, full roof replacements, and multi-trade job sites. Holds approximately 7 to 8 pickup truck loads. Contractors working on framing, siding, or whole-home renovations rely on this size to reduce swap-outs and keep the project moving.

Construction Waste Containers Rental FAQs
How long can I rent a construction waste container?
Hippo Bins offers flexible construction waste container rental periods to match your project timeline. Most contractors keep their container for one to two weeks, but longer builds are no problem. Call us at (825) 734-4776 to set up an extended rental that fits your construction schedule, whether it is a quick renovation or a multi-phase build in Calgary or Airdrie.
Will you protect the driveway or construction site surface?
Yes. Hippo Bins places protective boards under every construction waste container to guard driveways, finished concrete, and paved surfaces on your job site. Our drivers position each container carefully so contractors can load demolition debris, lumber, and mixed materials without worrying about surface damage. Let us know about any site-specific access concerns when you book.
What size construction waste container do I need for my project?
The right construction waste container depends on your project scope. A bathroom or kitchen renovation usually fits in a smaller bin, while a full home build or commercial tear-down calls for a larger container. Describe your project to the Hippo Bins team and we will recommend the right size so you avoid paying for unused space or needing a second haul.
Can Hippo Bins deliver a construction waste container the same day?
Hippo Bins often handles same-day construction waste container delivery across Calgary and Airdrie. Contractors who call early in the morning have the best chance of getting a container on site that day. We know construction timelines shift fast, so we keep our schedule flexible to help you stay on track and avoid costly downtime on the job site.
What happens if my construction waste container goes over the weight limit?
Construction materials like concrete, drywall, and roofing can add up quickly. Hippo Bins charges overage fees at clear, upfront rates so there are no surprises on your invoice. When you book your construction waste container, we walk you through the weight allowance and share practical tips for loading heavy demolition debris so you can stay within limits and keep costs predictable.
What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Waste Container Rentals
What types of construction waste can go in a rental container?
Hippo Bins construction waste containers accept lumber, drywall, roofing shingles, concrete, brick, siding, flooring, insulation, wiring, plumbing fixtures, and scrap metal. Mixed loads from demolition and renovation projects are welcome. Heavy materials like concrete and stone may be subject to weight limits depending on your container size. Call us at (825) 734-4776 if you need guidance on what fits.
What items are not allowed in construction waste containers?
Hazardous materials are never accepted. This includes asbestos, lead-based paint, chemical solvents, gasoline, propane, oil-based paints, batteries, and wet concrete. Food waste, animal byproducts, and any material requiring a provincial transport permit are also prohibited. We follow Alberta waste regulations to protect our team and your job site. Contact us if you have questions about a specific item.
What size container do I need for drywall, concrete, or roofing waste?
For drywall-only projects like a single room renovation, the 12 yard container usually provides enough capacity. Roofing tear-offs often fill a 12 yard bin for smaller homes, while full roof replacements benefit from a 20 yard container. Concrete and masonry are heavy, so even a partial load may hit weight limits before volume limits. Our team can recommend the right size after hearing about your project scope.
Do I need a permit for a construction waste container in Calgary?
If the container sits on your private property such as a driveway or yard, no permit is required in Calgary or Airdrie. Containers placed on public roads, sidewalks, or city right-of-way typically require a temporary encroachment permit from the City of Calgary. Hippo Bins can advise on placement options that avoid permit requirements. We position containers to stay on your property whenever possible.
How does Hippo Bins dispose of construction waste responsibly?
We sort recyclable construction materials from general debris after pickup. Wood, metal, concrete, and drywall are diverted to recycling facilities where they are processed into reusable materials. Non-recyclable waste goes to approved Alberta disposal sites. This approach reduces landfill volume and helps your project meet responsible waste management standards. We track disposal for every load we haul.
