Dumpster Rental FAQ

A dumpster rental is the drop off, usage and pick up of a dumpster. In addition to all of this, junk removal also includes extra services from our staff. They will come and remove the junk you want to get rid of and fill the bin with it. Can’t get much easier than that! See our garbage bin rental page for a more detailed explanation of the rental process.

All kinds! Our dumpsters range in size from 7 to 14 cubic yards for clean fill and mixed waste. We also have bins from 20 – 40 cubic yards available for mixed waste. What’s mixed waste you say? Well, read below for the answer to that, and click here for more bin rental sizes and prices.

This really depends on what you are disposing of. Indoor home renovations usually require larger bins like a 14 yard bin because the waste mostly consists of drywall, wood and other bulky rubbish. Smaller dumpster rentals such as a 7 yard bin or 10 yard bin are probably enough for outdoor home renovations including landscaping and removal of soil, dirt and concrete.

One thing we do like to mention when choosing a bin size is that our trash dumpsters cannot be overloaded for safety reasons (we don’t want flying toilets on the highway) and we’ll have to charge extra if your bin is overloaded.

Put simply, clean fill is just concrete, interlock, brick and block, dirt, soil, grass or asphalt. You may have noticed above that we mentioned the biggest bin we can offer for clean fill is the one that’s 14 cubic yards. This is simply because clean fill is too heavy to put into a larger bin.

It’s important to know that when filling a disposal bin with clean fill, that it can’t contain any other type of material or we’ll have to add a sorting fee to separate it.

Mixed waste is easier to explain. It’s any other types of rubbish except for cylinders, aerosol cans, tires or paint. These items are considered hazardous waste and can’t be put in our dumpsters. We also don’t accept household garbage (i.e. organic / biological waste) in our bins either. If found, a $100 sorting fee will be added to your bill.

If you’re renting a bin for a home renovation or construction project, you’re probably disposing of mixed waste. Drywall, wood and other construction debris fall into this category.

Remember how we said we don’t accept hazardous waste? (we know you read that right?) If you have any of this type of waste, contact your city’s waste disposal centre, or visit their website to find out if there is a drop off depot available.

Toronto’s hazardous waste and depot info can be found here. For more information about hazardous waste identification and disposal, see our article about household hazardous waste.

This depends on your city or town. Contact your local municipal office for the exact by-laws and for any permits you need to leave your dumpster rental on the street. Information and permit application for the city of Toronto is available here.

Any fines / tickets incurred due to permit issues are the responsibility of the client.

No! We carefully lay 3′ x 6′ pieces of wood on your driveway before we place the disposal bin onto them. This ensures the bin is safely on the wood and never touches your driveway!

Yes, we need you to be there when we’re delivering or picking up the waste bin.

It would be awesome to have two days’ notice during the week. We can also accommodate same day requests, depending on availability. Please call us for same day requests for the quickest turn around time.
