Pre notify neighbours about temporary bins with simple timing and placement notes.
Neighbour courtesy scripts
Keep access to shared lanes clear. A short note on delivery day and expected haul day reduces surprise.
What to say
Share delivery day, expected haul day and that the driveway pad is the plan when true. Offer a contact if a car must move. For example: Our bin is due on the agreed delivery day. Pickup is planned for the agreed haul day. Please contact us if access will conflict with either window.
Rules still apply
Street permits depend on your City. Batteries, electronics, paint, propane and asbestos stay out of the bin. Cover overnight when wind or rain is forecast.
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.
A driveway or yard placement needs no permit. Street, boulevard or lane rules vary by City, so check yours before you book. When a permit is required, pass us the dates and we will time the drop off.
Do not load batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals or asbestos into a junk bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604 732 9253 if you are unsure.

FAQ
What should my neighbour notice say? Give the planned delivery and pickup windows, placement and a contact method. Ask about access conflicts before the truck arrives.
What size bin should I start with? The usual start is the 20-yard junk bin. Ask when booking about other sizes. The 15-yard is often sold out.
Do I need a permit on my driveway? No. A driveway or yard needs no permit. Street, boulevard or lane rules depend on your City. Tell us permit dates if a street drop is approved.
Where do I check an item I am unsure about? Search the regional recycling directory or call the Recycling Hotline at 604 732 9253. Do not guess on paint, batteries, electronics or chemicals.
Can asbestos ever go in a Trash King bin? No. Asbestos is never permitted in any Trash King bin. Use a licensed abatement contractor when asbestos is present.
