Fence to wall upgrades create treated wood fence waste plus concrete or block for the new wall. Treated fence boards usually fail clean wood tips.

Masonry for the new wall

Block and concrete need heavy 10 or 12-yard thinking. Dirt from footings belongs in dirt bins.

Two stream booking

Book a junk bin for the fence boards and mention the treated wood when you order, then book a heavy bin for the masonry. Ask when booking about soft ground pads.

When a bin fits

We bring the bin, and you load it. When it is full, we collect it. Concrete and dirt each go in their own 10 or 12-yard heavy bin, kept out of junk. Residual mixed junk after heavy material is pulled can use a 20-yard junk bin. Ask when booking about sizes and any combined concrete and dirt option. We also have a 15-yard bin, but it is often sold out, so ask when you book.

No permit is needed for a bin on your driveway or yard. Street, boulevard or lane placement can need a City permit in some cities, so check before you book. If you need one, give us the dates and we will time delivery to match.

Do not load batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals or asbestos into a junk bin. Asbestos is never permitted in any Trash King bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604-732-9253 if you are unsure.

The standing limits are on our disposal bins page and our what not to put in a bin page. City pages such as Surrey or Abbotsford help when your job sits in those cities.
