On delivery day, spot overhead wires and branches before the truck backs in.
Overhead wire and branch spotter
Keep people clear of the swing path.
Who spots
Keep a site contact available without standing in the truck path. Report suspected low wires to dispatch and the utility before approach. Do not touch or try to move a wire.
After the drop
Keep the load level. Cover overnight. Restricted items stay out.
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.
A bin on your driveway or yard needs no permit. Some cities ask for a permit on the street, boulevard or lane, so check before booking. Send us those dates if a permit applies and we will time delivery.
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.
Check our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages for standing limits.
FAQ
What should I do if overhead wires look too low? Keep clear and tell dispatch before the truck approaches. Contact the utility for guidance. Never attempt to shift the wire yourself.
What size bin should I start with? We usually point people to the 20-yard junk bin first. 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.
