Festival residue includes soft goods and packaging.
Mosque and temple festival residue
Keep food scraps in organics where programs exist. Flatten cardboard for recycling.
Soft goods and packaging
Clean textiles may use textile recycling. Soft plastics often need depot or garbage paths. Stewardship items still leave first.
Community pads
Prefer private pads on site. Street placement needs a City check. Keep the load level and covered overnight.
When a bin fits
We deliver the bin. You load it. We collect it 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.
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.
Keep batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos out of a junk bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604 732 9253 if you are unsure.
Standing limits are listed on our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages.
FAQ
What should a festival team separate first? Separate food scraps where collection is provided. Keep reusable textiles and clean cardboard out of the remaining packaging waste.
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.
