Glass block walls are heavy and full of mortar. Stage the blocks for a heavy bin, not ordinary junk.
Glass block is mortar set masonry glass
Glass block walls from the 80s and 90s come out with heavy mortar. The blocks are not bottle glass. Handle them like masonry with sharp edges.
Mortar and channel metal
Mortar chunks are dense. Metal channels can go to scrap. Tape or box broken block edges.
Bathroom and stairwell tear outs
Tell us about mortar volume when you book. Mixed leftovers can go in a junk bin once the blocks are out.
When a bin fits
We deliver the bin and haul it away. You do the loading. Our 20-yard junk bin is the usual place to start. We also have a 15-yard bin, but it is often sold out, so ask when you book. Concrete, dirt and other heavy materials go in their own 10 or 12-yard heavy bin, kept out of junk. A combined concrete and dirt load is sometimes available for an extra fee.
A bin on your driveway or yard needs no permit. Some cities ask for a permit on the street, boulevard or lane, so check before booking. Send us those dates if a permit applies and we will time delivery.
Batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos do not belong in 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.
