Sump pumps sit in dirty water. Drain and wipe each unit before it goes to scrap or a bin.
Sump pumps and discharge hose
A failed pump and hose leave electrical parts and plastic. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604-732-9253 to confirm where each part goes.
Contaminated water caution
Oily or sewage water never goes down a storm drain. Follow your local wastewater rules.
Pair with crawl cleanouts
Once fluids are handled, bag the pump parts with other crawl space junk. Backup unit batteries go to a battery depot.
When a bin fits
We place the bin, you fill it, and we take it away when you call. Most jobs begin with the 20-yard junk bin. We also have a 15-yard bin, but it is often sold out, so ask when you book.
Putting the bin on your driveway or yard needs no permit. On the street, boulevard or lane, some cities require a permit, so check with your City before booking. If a permit applies, send us the dates and we will time delivery.
Leave batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos out of the junk bin. Asbestos is never permitted in any Trash King bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604-732-9253 if you are unsure.
