Sweep for nails, screws and micro debris before haul so pads stay safe.
End of project sweep protocol
Recheck the exposed pad after pickup for anything hidden under the container.
Magnet and broom
Use a magnet pass on driveways after wood work. Use a suitable puncture resistant container for sharp fasteners. Ask how it should be collected.
Closeout
Photo the clear pad if you want a record. Restricted items should already be gone.
When a bin fits
We deliver the bin. You load it. We haul it away. A 20-yard junk bin is the usual starting size. We also have a 15-yard bin, but it is often sold out, so ask when you book.
Your driveway or yard needs no permit for the bin. Some cities require a permit on the street, boulevard or lane, so confirm with your City first. Share your permit dates with us if you need them timed to delivery.
Leave batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos out of the junk bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604 732 9253 if you are unsure.
For standing limits, use our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages.
