Bins may only sit where the strata allows. Confirm the designation before delivery.

Confirm before delivery

Get written placement approval when required. Visitor stalls need diplomacy and often a time limit. Share the approval note when you book.

City permits

A driveway or yard placement needs no permit. Street, boulevard or lane rules vary by City, so check yours before you book. When a permit is required, pass us the dates and we will time the delivery.

When a bin fits

We bring the bin to you and haul it away when you are finished. You handle the loading. 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.

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.

For standing limits, use our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages.

FAQ

Does exclusive use mean I can place a bin without strata approval? Do not assume it does. Check the strata plan, bylaws and required approvals for the intended location before booking.

What size bin should I start with? Begin with the 20-yard junk bin for most jobs. 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.

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.
