Strata bylaws distinguish limited common property and common property.
Limited vs common property placement
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.
