How to choose the right container size
The right size saves money: too small means a second trip, too large means paying for empty space.
- Sizes 6–30 m³
- Guide by project type
- Space requirements
In short: Choose the container by volume: 6–8 m³ for a bathroom or single room, 10–13 m³ for a flat renovation, 15–30 m³ for a house or building site.
Sizes and what fits
| Container | Roughly equals | Typical project |
|---|---|---|
| 6 m³ | ligikaudu 40–50 prügikotti või 1 keskmine tuba | Väiksem remont, vannitoa lammutus, keldri koristus |
| 8 m³ | ligikaudu 1–2 toa sisustus ja lammutusjäätmed | Korteri remont, kolimine, panipaiga tühjendus |
| 10 m³ | ligikaudu 2–3 toa jäätmed | Suurem korteriremont, väikemaja koristus |
| 13 m³ | ligikaudu 3–4 toa jäätmed | Maja renoveerimine, korteriühistu koristuspäev |
| 15 m³ | ligikaudu 4–5 toa jäätmed | Suurobjekt, lammutustööd, ühistu suurpuhastus |
| 20 m³ | ligikaudu terve korteri sisustus | Täielik tühjendamine, ehitusobjekt |
| 25 m³ | suurima mahuga lahendus | Suured renoveerimis- ja lammutusprojektid |
| 30 m³ | maksimaalne maht suurprojektidele | Lammutus, suured ehitus- ja koristusprojektid |
Rules of thumb
- Bathroom demolition: 6 m³ is usually enough.
- One-room renovation: 8 m³.
- Full flat renovation: 10–13 m³.
- House renovation or full clearance: 15–20 m³.
- Demolition or a large site: 25–30 m³.
Heavy waste needs a smaller container
Concrete, tiles and soil are heavy, so a small container is often already at its weight limit while still half empty. For heavy waste choose 6–8 m³ and order two if needed.
