12 Yard Bin Size, Dimensions & Pricing

Our 12-yard dumpster is designed to be compact, driveway-friendly and easy to load for residential and smaller construction projects.

Base Price: $195.00
Special Package: $345.00, including delivery, pickup and disposal fees up to 1.5 tonnes (1,500 kg)
Dimensions: 14 feet long x 6 feet wide x 4 feet high
Total Capacity: 12 cubic yards
Visual Capacity: Equivalent to approximately 5 full pickup truck loads
Key Feature: Rear-opening access door for easier loading of heavy or bulky items

The 4-foot height makes the 12-yard bin particularly convenient for projects where materials will be loaded by hand. Smaller debris can be placed over the side, while furniture, renovation materials and other bulky items can be carried through the rear access door. This makes loading safer and more efficient while helping you use the available space effectively.

How Big Is a 12 Yard Dumpster?

A 12 yard dumpster from Bins Now measures approximately 14 feet long, 6 feet wide and 4 feet high. It provides 12 cubic yards of capacity, which is roughly equivalent to five pickup truck loads of material.

Its compact footprint makes it a practical choice for Calgary homeowners who need more capacity than regular garbage collection but still want a bin that can fit on many residential driveways. The lower 4-foot walls and rear opening access door also make loading renovation debris, furniture and household cleanup material easier.

Why Choose a 12-Yard Dumpster Rental?

The 12-yard dumpster is an excellent choice when you need more capacity than regular household garbage collection can provide but do not need one of our larger construction bins. Its compact footprint makes it especially useful for residential properties where driveway space may be limited.

At approximately 14 feet long and 6 feet wide, the bin can fit on many residential properties while still providing enough capacity for renovations, household cleanouts and yard projects. Its lower 4-foot walls also make manual loading considerably easier than taller commercial containers.

For many Calgary homeowners, the 12-yard bin provides the right balance between usable capacity and a manageable footprint, making it a strong choice for smaller and medium-sized cleanup projects.

If your project requires more capacity, compare our 15 yard bin rental, 20 yard bin, or 30 yard bin.

What Fits in a 12 Yard Bin? Ideal Projects & Materials

Our 12 yard bin is designed for smaller projects that still generate a meaningful amount of waste. We recommend this size for:

Residential Cleanouts: Ideal for clearing household clutter, unwanted furniture, basement contents and items that will not fit in standard residential garbage bins.
Kitchen and Bathroom Renovations: A practical choice for vanities, cabinets, flooring, tile, drywall scraps and other debris from smaller renovation projects.
Small-to-Medium Roofing Projects: Useful for roofing debris when the material quantity and weight are appropriate for the bin. Contact Bins Now before booking so we can help confirm the correct size for your project.
Yard and Garden Cleanup: Suitable for branches, landscaping debris and general yard cleanup. If you are disposing of dense materials such as soil, sod, gravel or stone, contact us before booking to discuss weight requirements.
Acreage and Property Cleanup: A convenient option for smaller acreage, garage, shed and property cleanup projects throughout Calgary and surrounding communities.

Choosing the appropriate bin size can help reduce unnecessary hauling while avoiding the expense of renting a container that is larger than your project requires.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much room do I need for a 12-yard bin?

The bin itself measures approximately 14 feet long, 6 feet wide and 4 feet high. Additional space is required for our delivery truck to safely position and retrieve the container. Make sure the placement area is accessible and free from low branches, wires or other overhead obstructions.

How much can a 12-yard bin hold?

A 12-yard bin provides approximately 12 cubic yards of capacity, equivalent to roughly 5 pickup truck loads. The actual amount you can safely load also depends on the type and weight of the material.

How much weight is included in the 12-yard Special Package?

The $345.00 Special Package includes delivery, pickup and disposal fees up to 1.5 tonnes, or 1,500 kg. Dense materials such as concrete, dirt, gravel and stone can reach this weight quickly, so contact Bins Now before loading unusually heavy debris.

Will a 12-yard bin fit in my driveway?

At approximately 14 feet long and 6 feet wide, the 12-yard bin is one of our more compact options and can fit on many residential driveways. Available space, driveway configuration and delivery access should still be considered before booking.

Will the bin damage my driveway?

Our bins are designed with residential placement in mind. Driveway condition and surface type can vary, so if you are concerned about newer concrete or asphalt, let us know when booking so placement can be discussed before delivery.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Calgary?

If the bin will occupy City of Calgary road right-of-way, such as a street, alley, sidewalk, back lane or boulevard, a Street Use Permit may be required. If you are unsure about your planned placement, contact Bins Now before delivery and check the current City of Calgary requirements.

How long can I keep the 12-yard bin?

Rental periods can vary depending on your project and booking. Many residential projects are completed within several days, while longer rentals may also be available. Contact us when booking to confirm the rental period that works best for your project.
