Dishwashers are major appliances. Send them to appliance recycling instead of a junk bin.
Built in vs portable dishwashers
Built in and portable units both need a separate drop off. Confirm the current option on Metro Vancouver Recycles.
Disconnect and clean
Cap the water lines safely. Clean out food waste so the depot can take the unit. The cord stays with the appliance.
Cabinet debris around the bay
Side panels and filler strips can go in a junk bin once the dishwasher is gone. Keep pods and cleaners out of the bin.
When a bin fits
Delivery and haul away are on us. You load the bin. For most jobs, the 20-yard junk bin is the place to start. We also have a 15-yard bin, but it is often sold out, so ask when you book.
Putting the bin on your driveway or yard needs no permit. On the street, boulevard or lane, some cities require a permit, so check with your City before booking. If a permit applies, send us the dates and we will time delivery.
Keep batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos out of a junk bin. Asbestos is never permitted in any Trash King bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604-732-9253 if you are unsure.
