When a bin fits
We deliver, you fill the bin, and we haul it away when you are finished. The 20-yard junk bin is where most people start. We also have a 15-yard bin, but it is often sold out, so ask when you book.
You do not need a permit for a bin on your driveway or yard. Some cities do need a permit for the street, boulevard or lane, so ask your City before booking. If you get dates, we will time delivery to them.
Keep batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos out of a junk bin. Search the regional recycling directory or call 604 732 9253 if you are unsure.
The standing limits live on our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages.
FAQ
Does recyclable mean an item can go in the junk bin? No. Recycling acceptance and hazardous restrictions are different questions. Check the material route and the booked bin requirements before loading.
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.
