A board approval request needs a location, dates, a loading plan and a contact. Put those details beside the placement sketch.
Condo board FAQ one pager
Boards often ask about placement, dates, restricted items and neighbour notice.
What to attach
Attach the proposed placement sketch, delivery and pickup window and restricted item list. Identify the site contact and any neighbour access concerns.
Board summary questions
Where will it sit? Use the exact location shown on the submitted sketch. Keep fire routes and accessible areas clear.
When will it arrive and leave? Agree both windows with the hauler and the building contact.
Who loads it? The resident or the crew they arrange loads a DIY bin.
Who handles uncertain items? The named site contact checks with the hauler before loading them.
How will neighbours be told? Share the agreed dates and a contact method before delivery.
After approval
Book inside the approved window. Street placement still needs a City check when the bin leaves private property.
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.
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.
Keep batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos out of a junk bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604 732 9253 if you are unsure.

FAQ
What should a condo board’s bin summary cover? State where the bin will sit, when it arrives and leaves, who loads it and who handles questions. Attach the sketch and explain restricted item routing.
What size bin should I start with? Begin with the 20-yard junk bin for most jobs. 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.
