Dorm turnover cycles create mattresses and desk clearouts.
Private school dorm turnover
Confirm mattress paths on Metro Vancouver Recycles before you assume garbage. Electronics follow EPRA.
Desk and shelf residue
Metal frames can go to scrap. Particleboard and mixed junk share a driveway bin after pulls. Paint and solvents stay on Product Care.
Campus adjacent pads
Prefer private pads. Street placement needs a City check. Time hauls to quiet windows when neighbours are close.
When a bin fits
We bring the bin and take it away again. The loading is up to you. Our 20-yard junk bin is the usual place to start. We also have a 15-yard bin, but it is often sold out, so ask when you book.
On your driveway or yard, the bin needs no permit. For the street, boulevard or lane, some cities require a permit, so check first. If yours does, send us the dates and we will time the delivery.
Keep batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos out of a junk bin. Search the regional recycling directory 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 I check before clearing dorm furniture? Confirm mattress collection and reuse options first. Separate electronics, metal desk frames and leftover furniture materials.
What size bin should I start with? Start with the 20-yard junk bin in most cases. 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.
