Metal can go to scrap. Laminate and mixed junk share a bin after pulls.

Secure fixture caution

Follow landlord and pharmacist rules for secured cabinets. Electronics follow EPRA.

Placement

Prefer rear pads or bays. Street placement needs a City check. Pull restricted items first.

When a bin fits

We place the bin, you fill it, and we take it away when you call. Most jobs begin with the 20-yard junk bin. We also have a 15-yard bin, but it is often sold out, so ask when you book.

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 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.
