After suite renos, padding and floor protection become bulky waste.
Elevator padding and floor protection cull
Clean cardboard recycles. Foam and plastic films are often garbage.
Dust and drywall
Drywall goes in its own bin, separate from other materials. Asbestos never enters a bin. Bag dust so elevators stay clean for other residents.
Tower logistics
Time the bin to elevator bookings. Prefer bays over street drops. A Vancouver street drop needs a City permit when the bin sits on street, boulevard or lane.
When a bin fits
We deliver the bin. You load it. We collect it when you are done. 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.
Do not put batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals or asbestos in a junk bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604 732 9253 if you are unsure.
For standing limits, use our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages.
FAQ
What should be separated when protective coverings come down? Keep reusable padding and clean cardboard separate from contaminated coverings. Book any drywall separately and keep the elevator route clear.
What size bin should I start with? A 20-yard junk bin is the usual start. 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.
