Roofing contingency projects need waste coordination so multiple trades do not overfill one bin with unaccepted material combinations.
Strata roofing season coordination
Agree on one plan for who loads which bin and when, so each trade knows the sorting rules.
Material splits
Shingles and underlay differ from clean wood and metal flashings. Ask when booking about material mix. Treated wood and contaminated shingles usually fail clean wood tips.
Shared pads
Use strata approved pads and haul windows. Restricted items stay out. Cover overnight so wind does not scatter underlay scraps.
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.
Private driveway or yard placement needs no permit. For street, boulevard or lane spots, ask your City first. If a permit is required, send the dates and we will match the drop off.
A junk bin is the wrong place for batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals or asbestos. 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.
FAQ
How do I coordinate waste between roofing trades? Agree which material goes in each booked stream and who arranges swaps. Keep the shared pad clear during delivery and pickup windows.
What size bin should I start with? The usual start is the 20-yard junk bin. 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.
