Planning a home renovation in Kissimmee means dealing with debris, and lots of it. Kitchen remodels generate piles of old cabinets and countertops. Bathroom updates fill up fast with tile, fixtures, and drywall. Without the right dumpster size, you'll either overpay for space you don't need or face expensive overage fees when you run out of room.
Choosing the right roll off Kissimmee Florida size saves you money and keeps your project on schedule. Here's what you need to know.
Before you rent a dumpster, estimate your debris volume. A kitchen remodel typically produces 3-4 tons of waste, while a full bathroom renovation generates around 1-2 tons. Flooring removal for a 1,500-square-foot home creates roughly 2-3 tons of debris.
Start by listing everything you're removing. Count cabinets, appliances, square footage of tile or flooring, and drywall sheets. This gives you a clearer picture of what you're dealing with. If you're clearing out unwanted items first, consider junk removal services to handle furniture, old appliances, and household items before your renovation begins.
A 10-yard dumpster holds about 3 pickup truck loads. It's perfect for small projects like garage cleanouts, minor landscaping work, or removing debris from a single room renovation. You'll pay around $250-$350 for a 10-yard rental in Kissimmee, depending on rental duration and debris type.
This size works well for:
Clearing out a garage or shed
Removing old fencing (up to 150 linear feet)
Small bathroom remodels (toilet, vanity, and flooring only)
Yard waste from trimming trees and shrubs
Don't use a 10-yard dumpster for whole-house projects or anything involving significant demolition. You'll quickly run out of space.
The 20-yard dumpster is what most homeowners in Celebration and St. Cloud choose for mid-sized renovations. It holds about 6 pickup truck loads and costs $350-$500 for a standard rental period (typically 7-10 days).
This is your best bet for:
Complete kitchen remodels (cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring)
Full bathroom renovations (including tub removal and tile)
Carpet or flooring removal for multiple rooms
Deck removal (up to 300 square feet)
Roof repairs covering less than 1,500 square feet

Go bigger when you're tackling whole-house renovations, major additions, or complete estate cleanouts. A 30-yard dumpster holds 9 pickup truck loads and runs $450-$600 in Kissimmee. A 40-yard dumpster holds 12 pickup truck loads and costs $500-$700.
Choose a 30-yard dumpster for:
Whole-home flooring replacement (2,000+ square feet)
Complete roof tear-offs (1,500-2,500 square feet)
Large deck removals (400+ square feet)
Significant demolition work
Choose a 40-yard dumpster for:
Full-home gut renovations
Complete estate cleanouts with furniture and belongings
Large commercial projects
Multi-room additions with extensive demolition
These larger containers require more driveway space (typically 60+ feet). Make sure you have room before booking.
Osceola County requires permits for dumpsters placed on public streets, but not for those on private property. The permit costs around $50-$75 and takes 2-3 business days to process. If your dumpster sits in your driveway, you won't need one.
Many neighborhoods around Kissimmee have HOA restrictions. Some require advance approval before placing a dumpster on your property. Others limit rental duration or require screening. Check your HOA rules at least one week before your delivery date. This prevents delays and potential fines.
Place your dumpster on a flat, stable surface. Avoid soft ground, especially after Florida's afternoon thunderstorms. Put plywood under the dumpster if you're concerned about driveway damage.
Dumpster rentals include a weight limit, usually 2-4 tons, depending on size. Exceed that limit and you'll pay $50-$100 per additional ton. Here's how to avoid surprise charges:
Separate heavy materials. Concrete, brick, and dirt weigh significantly more than drywall or wood. If you're removing these materials, rent a separate dumpster specifically for heavy debris.
Don't compact aggressively. While you want to use your space efficiently, over-compacting can push you over the weight limit. Distribute weight evenly instead.
Know what's prohibited. You can't throw away paint, chemicals, tires, or batteries in a standard dumpster. These require special disposal and will result in additional fees if found.
Estimate conservatively. If you're between sizes, go up one size. Running out of space mid-project costs more than renting a slightly larger container from the start.
The right roll off Kissimmee Florida size depends on your specific project scope. A 10-yard works for small cleanouts, a 20-yard handles most home renovations, and 30-40 yard dumpsters cover major construction projects.
