The usual size for a kitchen in Clermont
A 20-yard dumpster is the usual choice for a kitchen remodel in Clermont. It is about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and around 4.5 feet tall, and it holds the cabinets, countertops, flooring and drywall from one room. A full-gut remodel of a large kitchen may need a 30-yard, and the provider can explain the size from the rooms being done and the material coming out.
Clermont's kitchens are being remodeled in large numbers. Kings Ridge, built from 1995 to 2000, is now at the age when kitchens from that era are all being replaced at once. The new subdivisions along Wellness Way and US 27 have kitchens that are younger, but the families moving in often remodel the kitchen first, before they move in. Both kinds of job are a 20-yard job, and both kinds need a container in the driveway.
What comes out of a kitchen
A kitchen remodel produces four kinds of debris: cabinets, countertops, flooring and drywall. Cabinets come out in pieces, and they stack flat once they are taken apart. Countertops come out in slabs, and they are heavy — stone countertops especially, so keep them low in the container. Flooring comes out in strips, and it stacks flat. Drywall comes out in sheets, and it stacks flat too. Break the material down as it comes out, stack it flat, and a 20-yard will hold a whole kitchen.
Keep the appliances out of the kitchen load unless the provider says otherwise. A fridge or a cooker with refrigerant in it must have the refrigerant removed by a qualified person before it can be taken away. Sinks, taps and fixtures go in the container. Paint and solvents never go in — they go to the Log House Road Transfer Station in Clermont, where household hazardous waste is taken from residents.
How a kitchen dumpster is arranged in Clermont
The provider delivers the container to the driveway before the demolition starts, with boards under the rails to protect the surface. The driver places it close to the door the debris comes out of, so the crew can carry it straight from the kitchen to the container. The spot must be clear of low wires and branches, and the driveway must be clear of cars.
Load as the work goes, over the rental period, which runs about a week in most cases. A kitchen remodel usually takes a week or two, so the container is loaded and picked up within the period, or the period is extended. Keep the load level with the rim — a container loaded above the rim cannot be picked up safely. When the kitchen is done and the container is loaded, call for pickup.
