Use this sequence only for the material booked for that bin.
DIY loading sequence
Keep concrete, dirt and drywall out of mixed junk. Put stable accepted pieces low, flat pieces next and small accepted residue into gaps. Do not treat this sequence as permission to exceed the weight limit. Keep paint, batteries, propane and other banned items out of the bin from the first layer.
Flat and gap fill
Recycle clean cardboard first. Use accepted flat pieces and bagged soft residue to fill gaps without forcing the load. Do not overfill above the rail.
Ready for haul
Photo the level load if you want a record. If rain or wind is forecast, pause light loose loading and keep material staged securely until pickup or the next load.
When a bin fits
We deliver, you fill the bin, and we haul it away when you are finished. The 20-yard junk bin is where most people start. We also have a 15-yard bin, but it is often sold out, so ask when you book.
Your driveway or yard needs no permit for the bin. Some cities require a permit on the street, boulevard or lane, so confirm with your City first. Share your permit dates with us if you need them timed to delivery.
Batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos do not belong in a junk bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604 732 9253 if you are unsure.
The standing limits live on our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages.

What size bin should I start with? The 20-yard junk bin is the usual first pick. 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. Tell us permit dates if a street drop is approved.
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.
