When requesting a bin, attach placement sketch, dates and material notes the council asks for.
Strata approval packet basics
Check the building’s application process before booking. Submit the proposed pad and truck access route together so the council can review the delivery plan.
What boards often want
Include the proposed placement, haul window and material routing plan. Show that asbestos, paint and electronics will not enter the bin.
After approval
Book driveway or approved stalls. Street rules depend on the City. Keep the dwell inside the approved window.
When a bin fits
We deliver the bin. You load it. We collect it when you are done. For most jobs, the 20-yard junk bin is the 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, send us the dates and we will time delivery.
Leave batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos out of the junk bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604 732 9253 if you are unsure.
Our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages cover the standing limits.
