Sequencing across a property can favour several short bins over one long dwell.
Multiple small jobs versus one big bin
Write down the dates, locations and materials for each small job. Compare the periods when debris will be ready. Combine loads only when the booking accepts every material and the available space is adequate.
When one bin wins
A single renovation stage with steady debris often fits one driveway bin with a planned haul.
When several win
Scattered suites or phases may need staged drops. Street rules depend on your City each time.
When a bin fits
You do the loading. We handle delivery and haul away. Most jobs start with our 20-yard junk bin. We also have a 15-yard bin, but it is often sold out, so ask when you book.
Putting the bin on your driveway or yard needs no permit. On the street, boulevard or lane, some cities require a permit, so check with your City before booking. If a permit applies, send us the dates and we will time delivery.
Do not load batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals or asbestos into a junk bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604 732 9253 if you are unsure.
Standing limits are on our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages.
FAQ
When should small jobs share one bin? Only when timing, location and accepted materials align. Compare one booking with staged short bookings and confirm capacity before combining jobs.
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. 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.
