Do not open unknown chemical containers. Pull batteries, electronics, paint, propane and chemicals before any junk bin.

Unknown contents

Do not open or tip mystery drums or sealed chemicals. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call the Hotline. Asbestos never enters a bin.

Loading

Stage sorted piles first. A junk bin clears true residue after pulls. Driveway pads need no permit.

When a bin fits

We deliver the bin and haul it away. You do the loading. 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.

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, tell us the dates and we will time 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 do with unknown storage unit containers? Do not open or tip mystery chemicals. Keep clear and arrange an appropriate assessment. Sort ordinary contents only after hazards are identified.

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.
