Trash King delivers DIY roll-off bins in West Vancouver — you load the bin; we deliver and pick it up. From Ambleside and the British Properties to Caulfeild and Horseshoe Bay, steep lots and tight turns are normal access cues, so a private driveway drop is the usual plan.

How it works
Pick the project and materials. We deliver a DIY roll-off bin. You load it or your own contractor does. We pick it up and dispose of the load. You load the bin; we deliver and pick it up. See also residential services.
Have the drop spot ready before the truck arrives: clear the driveway or pad, note low wires and canopy, and keep parked cars off the approach. Describe grade and swing room when you book — switchbacks and steep pads are common on the North Shore grades that sit inside the District of West Vancouver. One regional dispatch team covers West Vancouver deliveries.
What size for this West Vancouver project
Bin sizes are approximate: 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yards. Use trash bins for the overview. Smaller 12 or 15-yard bins can sometimes suit small jobs, though we may suggest a larger bin when you call, and concrete and dirt each need their own 10 or 12 yard; most junk and reno debris goes in a 20 yard. Two small bins usually cost more than one 20-yard. On narrow or steep West Van driveways, a 15-yard bin often fits more cleanly than a larger container that can’t swing in, and most reno jobs land on a 20-yard bin when the pad allows. Choose for weight and access first; not every driveway fits a 40 yard. If the job will generate a second haul, two well-fitted deliveries often beat one oversized bin that cannot reach the pad safely.
- Kitchen / bath reno — often a 20 yard when the pad allows.
- Roofing tear-off — heavy shingles; call before upsizing; often a mid-size bin.
- Yard / landscaping — volume varies; confirm soil and wood separately. Mention treated or painted wood when you book.
- Move or estate cleanout — often a 20 yard if access is clear.
- Concrete or dirt — heavy. Concrete and dirt each need their own 10 or 12-yard bin; confirm on the call.
What can go in the bin
West Vancouver renovation and cleanout jobs commonly include renovation debris, roofing tear-off, wood, household material, and heavier concrete or dirt loads. Confirm older drywall and possible asbestos when you call. Paint, chemicals, propane, tires, fuel and electronics never go in the bin; ask us about appliances and liquids before loading. Drywall and concrete each need their own separate bin. Overview: materials we recycle. Listing odd items up front avoids a rejected load after the truck has already left. Mixed loads that combine light finishes with heavy masonry should be called out so we can recommend a size that respects weight, not just how tall the pile looks on the driveway.
Roofing and reno piles on hillside lots often look bigger than they weigh — or the reverse: a short stack of shingles can still be a heavy load. Call out roofing, concrete, dirt and wet soil separately so dispatch can match a bin that fits the pad and stays within a sensible weight profile. Volume is not weight, so bin size depends on both fit and what you plan to load.
Where the bin can go Street Occupancy Permit
Street Occupancy vs driveway on West Vancouver grades. If the bin sits on a private driveway or other private pad, that is the preferred plan — especially on British Properties, Caulfeild and Horseshoe Bay grades where truck approach, turning radius and grade matter more than a street list. If the bin must temporarily occupy municipal property boulevard, sidewalk, roadway or public lane — the District of West Vancouver requires a Street Occupancy Permit. Official overview: District of West Vancouver permits and licences. Check with the District before delivery, since rules and timelines change often. You apply with the District, and we book delivery for your permit dates.
Ambleside lanes and tight turns affect access. North Vancouver has its own page: bin rental in North Vancouver. When you call, say whether the planned spot is private property or municipal property, so we can book delivery for your permit dates if you need one. Drivers typically use wood blocking on driveways; describe heated driveways or fragile surfaces when you book so dispatch can plan the drop.

Delivery considerations
Grade, switchbacks, turning radius, overhead wires and tree canopy all matter on West Vancouver approaches. Prefer the private driveway whenever it fits. If municipal property is the only option, start the Street Occupancy process with the District early so their review window and our delivery window can align. Photos of the approach help on steep or tight pads. Hours are Mon–Fri 9:00–19:00 and Sat–Sun 9:00–17:00 (America/Vancouver).
