Check the actual load for restricted items before photographing it. If something looks hazardous, keep clear and contact the hauler. Keep the original images with your booking records.

What to capture

Show the load below the rail and the placement pad. Capture the date if your phone stamps photos.

Booking tip

Tell us about any special materials when you book so the load matches tip rules. Pull stewardship items before the first photo.

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.

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
