Match the Bin to the Phase
| Phase | Bin | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Demo Phase (room-by-room) | 20 yard → | Room-by-room strip-out debris. |
| Demo Phase (structural) | 40 yard → | Machine loading for structural teardown — see our demolition page. |
| Framing & Dry-In | 30 yard → | Eats lumber scrap and sheathing cutoffs. Bulk, not weight. |
| Roofing | 15 yard → | Sized by shingle weight — see our roofing page. |
| Masonry & Flatwork | 10 yard (half fill) → | Concrete only, no exceptions — see our concrete page. |
| Finish Phase | 20 yard → | Drywall, trim, flooring waste, and packaging. |
Swap-Outs: The Part That Actually Matters
Call the swap before the bin tops out, not after. Morning calls usually land the replacement the same day in Cape, Jackson, and Scott City. The full-for-empty exchange happens in one truck visit, so the crew keeps working and you’re not paying labor to watch a driveway. On multi-week jobs, tell us the phase schedule up front and we’ll stage the sizes to match it.
Weight Is Where Construction Bills Go Wrong
Mixed demo loads climb fast. Drywall runs about a ton per 1,000 square feet torn out. Plaster doubles that. Shingles, tile, and any masonry stack weight quicker than volume. The move is simple: keep dense material in its own smaller bin and let the big bin carry the bulk. We’ll plan the split on the phone in two minutes, and it routinely saves crews a couple hundred in overage.
Weight Cheat Sheet
- Drywall: ~1 ton per 1,000 sq ft torn out
- Plaster: roughly double drywall's weight
- Shingles, tile, masonry: weight climbs faster than volume
- Keep dense material in its own smaller bin

Construction Questions
Can you handle a standing arrangement?
Yes. Repeat crews get their rate, their terms, and one number to call. Roofers and remodelers who run bins monthly shouldn’t be re-quoting every job, so we don’t make them.
How fast do swap-outs really land?
Same day on morning calls most of the year. Storm weeks stretch everything, because every roofer in the county calls at once. During those runs, book the swap a day ahead and you’ll never wait.
Do you deliver to Jackson job sites?
Daily. Jackson’s new subdivisions are half our construction volume right now, and the rates match Cape exactly.
