Opening a load bearing wall leaves shoring lumber, header offcuts and drywall. Keep the drywall apart from the rest.
Shoring waste and header offcuts
The job leaves temporary shoring lumber, header offcuts and fasteners. Structural work needs a qualified person.
Wood sorting
Unpainted offcuts may go to a clean wood program. Painted or laminated wood stays mixed. Metal posts and plates go to scrap.
Dust and drywall
Keep drywall apart from other debris. Drywall dated 1990 or newer is accepted. Older or undated drywall needs a lab report showing no asbestos. Mixed debris can go in a junk bin.

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 drop off.
Batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos stay out of 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.
