Residential takeovers leave cast trailer residue and temporary set waste.
Film location residential residue
Agree a wrap check with the property contact. Keep the resident’s belongings apart from set waste and confirm the collection window before moving material outside.
Sort before haul
Cardboard recycles. Soft plastics and mixed craft debris often become junk. Electronics follow EPRA.
Neighbour pads
Prefer private pads with courtesy notice. Street placement needs a City check.
When a bin fits
We drop it off, you fill it, and we haul it off 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.
A bin on your driveway or yard needs no permit. Some cities ask for a permit on the street, boulevard or lane, so check before booking. Send us those dates if a permit applies and we will time delivery.
Leave batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos out of the junk bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604 732 9253 if you are unsure.
Check our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages for standing limits.
