Licensing refresh cycles create soft surfaces and toy culls.
Daycare licensing soft surface culls
Keep usable toys for donation when allowed. Contaminated foam and cracked plastics are usually junk.
Soft surfaces
Mats and padded play pieces can be bulky. Ask when booking about volume. Electronics toys follow EPRA when they have circuits.
Placement
Prefer private pads away from play yards during open hours. Street rules depend on your City.
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.
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.
Skip batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos when you load a junk bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles 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.
