Trash King rents bins across Greater Vancouver.
Using a Burnaby disposal bin
Trash King rents DIY roll-off bins for renovation, construction and cleanout projects. It’s loaded by you or by your household, crew or own contractor. When you’ve finished, the next call is for removal, or to ask about a dump and return.
Sort before you load. Mixed construction waste can share a bin when it meets the receiving facility’s rules, but concrete, dirt and drywall/gypsum each need their own bin, and shingles usually need one as well. Mattresses, freon appliances, TVs, chemicals and paint are usually not accepted. Unsure about an item? Ask us before loading.
What size for this Burnaby project
Trash King’s trash bins come in 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. Many Burnaby suite and reno jobs land on a 15-yard bin or 20-yard bin. We size for weight and access first — a compact pad near Metrotown may take a mid-size bin more cleanly than a 40 yard that cannot swing in. If the job will generate a second haul anyway, two well-fitted deliveries often beat one oversized container that cannot reach the pad safely.
- Suite gut or condo cleanout — often 12 or 15 yard.
- Kitchen / bath reno — commonly 12–15 yard.
- Roofing — heavy shingles; call before upsizing.
- Larger construction — 20 yard or larger when the pad allows.
- Concrete or dirt — heavy; a smaller bin is often safer — we’ll help on the call.
Burnaby permits for street or boulevard placement
Containers on private property, like a driveway or parking pad, don’t need a container permit, so that’s the easiest spot for a bin. It’s also the preferred spot because you control the parking, so the bin won’t get blocked in, and it usually sits closer to the work for easier loading. For any street, roadway, boulevard or other public property, you need a permit first. Apply yourself through the City’s official temporary container placement page and follow its site plan, visibility and safety requirements. Trash King never applies for this permit and never helps with the application.
Bins aren’t allowed in lanes at all, so plan on a driveway, a private pad or an approved street spot instead. Strata councils and property managers may also have their own rules for bins.
Burnaby access checklist
These details help us plan delivery with you:
- A firm, level driveway, pad or other suitable private surface works best.
- Clearance limits come from overhead wires, branches, balconies and signs, both along the truck route and over the drop spot.
- The truck needs room to approach, turn and set the bin down, so move parked cars and other obstacles out of its path.
- Let us know about slopes, soft ground, unfinished surfaces, narrow lanes or tight corners.
- Find out whether a parkade, shared driveway or loading area is private, strata-controlled or City property.
- If the spot is shared, get permission from the strata, property manager or property owner.
- For a difficult approach, a photo lets us review the placement before delivery.
Our track and pulley system helps with safe drop off and pick up. It won’t turn an unsuitable surface or a restricted route into a safe one.
Where Burnaby loads go
Each load goes where its material and the receiving facility’s rules allow. Examples include New West Gypsum Recycling for drywall/gypsum, specialized facilities such as Eco-Agg’s Surrey site or Richvan for clean concrete, and Ecowaste’s Spruce Street facility for eligible mixed waste when the load, vehicle and facility requirements line up. Trash King also uses other licensed facilities. Concrete and dirt are specialized streams, not general transfer station material, so describe each load first.
Burnaby neighbourhoods and local access notes
Metrotown
In Metrotown, the bin may need a shared driveway, parkade approach or managed loading zone rather than a simple private pad. We’ll review building approval, clearance, turning room and shared paving protection with you. Suite renovations and interior cleanouts are common DIY jobs here, loaded by the customer or their own crew. Give drywall/gypsum, concrete and dirt separate bins, and usually shingles as well, and mention elevators, gates or tight approaches ahead of time.
Brentwood
Access can shift as buildings share lanes, loading areas and temporary construction routes. Tell us who controls the drop spot and whether strata or a site manager must approve it, and we’ll plan a clear turn for the truck. A compact bin may suit a suite renovation or cleanout, and a construction project may need a larger container if the pad allows. Concrete, dirt and drywall/gypsum don’t belong in a mixed bin, and usually shingles don’t either.
The Heights
For The Heights projects, check driveway and curb conditions before delivery. If the truck comes in by a shared lane or rear access, find out who owns it and keep the route clear. Kitchen renovations, roofing work and household cleanouts fit the DIY model when you load the bin yourself. Sort concrete, dirt, drywall/gypsum and usually shingles away from the mixed construction waste.
Edmonds
For an Edmonds project, describe the driveway grade, surface, overhead clearance and any strata or property-manager rules. A narrow approach may favour a smaller bin even if the debris pile looks big. Keep parked cars off the drop point and leave the truck room to position the container. Renovation and cleanout debris can be mixed when accepted, but concrete, dirt and drywall/gypsum each need their own bin, as shingles usually do.
Capitol Hill
For a Capitol Hill project, send the access details early: slope, overhead wires, curb conditions and whether a lane or shared route is involved. A firm private pad is preferred, and a photo helps us spot a difficult approach. Renovation, roofing and cleanout projects work with a DIY bin when you do the loading. We size it for access and weight, and concrete, dirt, drywall/gypsum and usually shingles go in separate bins.
Burnaby Mountain
Burnaby Mountain projects often involve grade and turning room, so we’ll review the truck route, surface, overhead clearance and any gate, strata or construction-site controls. A container big enough for the volume still needs a safe approach and a level place to sit. Home renovation and construction debris suit a DIY bin loaded by the customer or their own crew. Concrete, dirt, drywall/gypsum and usually shingles are heavy or specialized loads, so each goes in a separate bin.
Burnaby FAQs
What kind of Burnaby work suits a DIY bin?
Suite renovations, kitchen or bathroom projects, roofing cleanups, garage clearouts, landscaping jobs and smaller construction cleanups all suit a DIY bin, loaded by you or your own crew. Tell us the project, materials and access, and we’ll match the container to the work area.
Can the bin stay on my private driveway?
In most cases, yes. Containers on private property, like a driveway or a suitable pad, don’t need a container permit. You also keep control of the parking, and loading is usually easier. The surface should be firm and level, the truck has to reach it, and parked vehicles need to come off the approach. If the bin has to go on a street, boulevard or other public property, you need the City’s permit instead.
What permit applies to a Burnaby street placement?
A Temporary Container Placement Permit. You need one for a container on any Burnaby street, roadway, boulevard or other public property, and you apply for it yourself. Trash King never applies on your behalf and never assists with it. Containers on private property don’t need a container permit, and bins aren’t allowed in lanes at all.
How should a condo or strata plan for delivery?
Get the strata or property manager to approve the exact loading area and truck route first. Then call us about parkade clearance, elevator or loading rules, turning room, overhead obstructions and protection for shared paving. If the area is City property rather than strata property, City permit requirements apply too.
Which bin size fits a Burnaby renovation?
Sizes currently listed are 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yard. A suite cleanout or smaller interior project may fit a compact container. Bigger construction cleanups can call for a larger bin. Weight and access count as much as volume, so describe the materials and drop spot and we’ll help you choose.
Can heavy material go in a mixed Burnaby bin?
Not with the heavy streams. Concrete and dirt each need a separate bin, and so do drywall/gypsum and usually shingles, so keep them out of general construction waste. General mixed construction debris can share a bin, provided it meets the receiving facility’s rules. Mention heavy material before loading so the size and disposal route are right.
What happens after the bin is full?
The rental period is set during the quote. Load the container and call when it’s ready for removal, or ask about a dump and return if the project needs another round. Keep the load level and inside the container’s stated limits, and flag any material that may need a separate disposal stream.
What Burnaby items should stay out of the bin?
Chemicals or paint, TVs, mattresses and freon appliances are usually not accepted. Keep liquids, propane, tires, asbestos or possible asbestos-containing material, and any other restricted item out of the bin. Questionable items belong outside the bin until we’ve sorted out the right disposal route. Ask about current delivery availability when you call.
