Premium Service for the British Properties to Horseshoe Bay
West Vancouver is one of Canada’s most beautiful communities, but its geography makes waste disposal a challenge. From the winding, steep roads of the British Properties to the tight waterfront lanes of Ambleside and the rocky terrain of Horseshoe Bay, you need a disposal partner who understands the lay of the land.
At Trash King, we specialize in “challenging delivery.” We don’t just drop bins on flat pavement; we are experts in hillside placement, narrow access, and estate-level service. Whether you are managing a luxury renovation in Altamont, clearing a lot in Caulfeild, or landscaping in Eagle Harbour, we provide the professional, careful service your property demands.
Why West Vancouver Trusts Trash King
Operating in West Van requires more than just a truck. It requires skill, patience, and local knowledge.
-
Hillside & Steep Driveway Experts: This is our specialty. Our drivers are trained to safely position bins on the steep grades common in Cypress Park and The Properties. We use heavy-duty blocking to ensure the bin is stable and won’t mark your aggregate or paved driveway.
-
Estate-Class Service: We understand that presentation matters. Our bins are clean and well-maintained. We always use protective wood boards to prevent damage to your driveway, ensuring we leave your property exactly as we found it.
-
Bear-Smart Disposal: West Vancouver is bear country. We can advise you on best practices for waste storage during your renovation to ensure you don’t attract wildlife—a critical concern from Glenmore to Whytecliff.
-
Strict Compliance: We handle the complex permitting and disposal rules of the District so you don’t have to. We divert recyclable materials to the North Shore Recycling and Waste Centre and other licensed facilities to keep our community green.
Dumpster Sizes for Every West Van Project
We offer a range of sizes perfect for everything from minor decluttering to major estate overhauls.
Residential & Landscaping
-
10-Yard “Rock Box”: The essential bin for West Van landscaping. If you are blasting rock, removing heavy clay soil, or tearing up a concrete driveway in Dundarave, you must use this bin. Larger bins cannot handle the weight.
-
12-Yard Bins: Compact and convenient. Ideal for garage cleanouts or clearing out a boathouse.
-
15-Yard Bins: Our most popular size for kitchen renovations, bathroom updates, and medium-sized home makeovers.
Construction & Commercial
-
20-Yard Bins: Great for large deck removals (cedar or composite), cedar shake roof replacements, and large home cleanups.
-
30-Yard Bins: The standard for new home construction, demolition debris, and major estate renovations.
-
40-Yard Bins: Designed for high-volume commercial waste or clearing out large properties in Whitby Estates.

How to Rent a Bin in West Vancouver
-
Call & Consult: Contact us. Critical: Tell us if you have a steep driveway or a heated driveway (which requires special care) so we can dispatch the right equipment.
-
Permit Check: If you can place the bin on your private property, great! If it must go on the street, you will need a Street Occupancy Permit from the District of West Vancouver. We can guide you through this process.
-
Delivery: We drop the bin off. We use wood blocks to protect your driveway.
-
We Haul It: Call us when you’re done. We pick it up and transport it for responsible sorting.
Frequently Asked Questions (West Vancouver)
Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on the street? Yes. The District of West Vancouver requires a Street Occupancy Permit for any bin placed on public property (roadway, boulevard, or sidewalk). You typically need to apply 10 days in advance and pay a fee. We strongly recommend clearing space in your driveway to avoid this hassle.
My driveway is heated. Can I still rent a bin? Yes, but you must tell us beforehand. We take extra precautions with heated driveways to ensure the weight of the bin does not damage the heating elements or the surface.
How do I dispose of old drywall? The rules are strict.
-
New Drywall (1990+): Can be recycled if clean and date-stamped.
-
Older Drywall: Must be tested for asbestos.
-
Please keep drywall separate. Do not mix it with general waste. The North Shore Recycling and Waste Centre has specific drop-off limits for residents, but for larger commercial loads (like a full bin), we handle the logistics of proper disposal.
What about bears? West Vancouver Bylaws prohibit wildlife attractants. Do not put food waste or organic garbage in your open-top bin. Construction debris, wood, and metal are fine. If you are in a high-activity zone, we may recommend a “live load” (where we wait while you fill it) or specific placement strategies.
