Kitchen Remodels
Kitchen gut-outs produce cabinets, countertops, flooring, and drywall — bulky but relatively light. A 10–15 yard dumpster is usually enough for a standard kitchen demo in Charlotte. If you're removing tile flooring or concrete countertops, size up to a 20 yard to stay under the weight cap.
