Treat glass inserts as plate glass. They do not go in bottle recycling. Tape cracks before you move them.

Entry refresh loads

Bundle frames and closers for scrap. Load leftover door junk in a short bin.

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.

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 delivery.

Skip batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos when you load a junk bin. Asbestos is never permitted in any Trash King bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604-732-9253 if you are unsure.

Standing limits are on our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages.
