Practical tips and common mistakes
Guidelines per size: A 3 m³ container is suitable for small jobs like a bathroom or kitchen. A 6 m³ container is the most popular choice for renovations and fits approximately 2-3 bedrooms. A 10 m³ container is ideal for larger projects like a complete house. Common mistakes: (1) Choosing too small so you need multiple containers. (2) Not taking into account the volume that materials take up. (3) Forgetting that you cannot fill to the rim. Tips: Measure the amount of waste in advance, consult with the supplier, and choose slightly too large rather than too small.
What do suppliers and experts say?
Suppliers advise always choosing slightly larger than you think you need. 'Customers often underestimate how much space they need', says a supplier. 'It's better to take a 6 m³ container if you think 3 m³ is enough, than to have to order a second container later.' Experts recommend making an estimate in advance based on the type of waste and quantity, and then calculating 20-30% extra space.
