Shelter refreshes create glass, ad panels and metal frames.
Transit shelter refresh
Glass needs careful packing. Metal can go to scrap.
Ad panels and plastics
Foam and plastics are often junk. Electronics go to an Electronic Products Recycling Association drop off, and lamps and light fixtures go to a Product Care lighting drop off.
Work zone pads
Follow agency work zone rules. Street placement needs a City check when applicable.
When a bin fits
The bin comes from us, you load it, and we collect it when it is full. Most jobs start with our 20-yard junk bin. We also have a 15-yard bin, but it is often sold out, so ask when you book.
Your driveway or yard needs no permit for the bin. Some cities require a permit on the street, boulevard or lane, so confirm with your City first. Share your permit dates with us if you need them timed to delivery.
Keep batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals and asbestos out of a junk bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604 732 9253 if you are unsure.

FAQ
What should be separated when a shelter is refreshed? Separate metal and glass from advertising panels. Route electronics and lighting through accepted return programs before loading residual material.
What size bin should I start with? The 20-yard junk bin is the usual first pick. 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.
