Warehouse racks yield uprights, beams and wire decking that are strong scrap candidates when stripped. Keep wood pallets separate.

Bolt and decking sorting

Bag bolts for scrap cleanliness. Damaged particle decks are junk.

Clear aisle loading

Stage long uprights level in the bin. Ask when booking about extra long pieces.

When a bin fits

We drop off the bin and haul it away. You handle 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.

No permit is needed for a bin on your driveway or yard. Street, boulevard or lane placement can need a City permit in some cities, so check before you book. If you need one, give us the dates and we will time delivery to match.

A junk bin is the wrong place for batteries, electronics, propane tanks, paint, solvents, pharmaceuticals or asbestos. Asbestos is never permitted in any Trash King bin. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or call 604-732-9253 if you are unsure.

Check our disposal bins and what not to put in a bin pages for standing limits. City pages such as Surrey or Abbotsford help when your job sits in those cities.
