Large home renovation projects come with a lot of logistical challenges, from coordinating contractor schedules to coming up with a budget to securing the necessary permits.
While you’re preparing for your home renovation project, don’t forget about renting dumpsters and portable toilets. Big projects can create significant waste, and planning ahead can help you avoid delays, safety issues, and unnecessary costs. Whether you’re a homeowner or a contractor, dumpster and portable toilet rentals simplify project management and help your project go smoothly.
At Canyon View Dumpsters & Toilets, we’re proud to play a role in home renovation projects. If you’re considering dumpster or toilet rental for your next project, keep reading to learn some expert preparation tips.
Creating a Plan
The first thing you need to do when preparing for a major home renovation is assess the scope of the project — exactly how much work needs to be done? What type of renovations are you doing?
Come up with an estimate of timelines and phases of construction to help you determine how much debris and foot traffic the project will generate. Plan for waste removal and sanitation at each phase, from demolition to construction to finishing.
Budgeting for Waste Management and Sanitation
Don’t forget to factor in dumpster and toilet rental costs into your overall renovation budget. Do your best to avoid extra fees for overweight loads, prohibited items, or extended rentals by going through the proper planning process and ensuring accurate sizing.

Preparing Your Property Before Work Begins
After your plan is in place and before work begins, you’ll need to clear driveways and access points so crews can get set up. If necessary, protect the landscaping and surrounding structures so they don’t accidentally get damaged. It’s also a good idea to inform your neighbors about the project and any potential disruptions.
Dumpsters for Efficient Waste Removal
Dumpsters are essential for any large renovation project, making it easy to transport waste away from the work site. Having a dedicated dumpster on-site means fewer trips to the landfill, saving significant time.
Determine what types of waste your home renovation project will produce — drywall, wood, roofing materials, fixtures, etc. — and how much. If you’re not sure how to come up with a good estimate, feel free to reach out to us for expert recommendations. We offer 15-yard dumpsters that are perfect for smaller projects, 20-yard dumpsters for medium-sized projects, and 30-yard dumpsters for large projects.
It’s important to note that certain types of waste cannot be disposed of in a dumpster. While most construction debris and household materials are acceptable, hazardous waste, chemicals, and certain electronics have to be disposed of specially.
Dumpster Logistics
Choose a convenient, accessible location for your dumpster, such as the driveway, the street, or elsewhere on the job site. The location you choose should be somewhere that ensures safe loading and minimizes disruption. Just be aware that some cities require permits for dumpsters to be placed on the side of the road.
Make sure you schedule dumpster delivery before demolition begins. Coordinate pickups with project milestones and avoid overfilling.
The Importance of Portable Toilet Rentals
When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go. Portable toilets are crucial when you have a large crew working on home renovations, especially if the plumbing system will be out of commission during the project. Rather than having a constant stream of people tracking dirt through your home to get to the bathroom, opt for high-quality portable toilets for more convenient sanitation.
We offer both standard portable toilets and premium restroom trailers, along with hand-washing stations. We can help you determine the number of units you’ll need based on the crew size and project duration, ensuring you have everything you need to have a safe, sanitary worksite that complies with standards and regulations.
