FAQs

  • What materials will you take?

    Bin There disposes of most non-hazardous materials such as construction, demolition or renovation debris, yard trimmings, green waste, household junk, appliances, furniture, scrap metal, dirt, sod, rocks, gravel, concrete, bricks, and any odds and ends. Contact us to know more about the materials we accept. 

  • Can I Place Drywall In The Dumpster?

    No. Drywall CANNOT be mixed with any other debris as it requires special disposal and possible testing and as such requires a dedicated bin or special disposal arrangement. Contact us for advice or assistance on drywall disposal.

  • What Materials are Banned?

    Banned Materials CANNOT be accepted under any circumstance. The party and/or property owner contracting the bin is responsible and liable to ensure no banned or hazardous materials are present in the bin and are fully liable for any/all costs and surcharges related to the infraction including, but not limited to separation costs, reloading charges, penalties, bylaw infractions, HAZMAT costs etc. We needed to say that to make our lawyers happy. Click here for a list of Banned Materials. If you're still not sure give us a call, we are always happy to assist.

  • What Is A Restricted Material?

    Restricted Materials are those which we can take however require special handling and as such surcharges apply. Contact us for advice or assistance on disposal of restricted materials.

  • How Much Room Is Need To Place A Dumpster?

    In addition to the disposal bin & truck length, it takes more room to place a bin in the bins “roll-off” the rear of the truck. This requires an additional 30 feet to 50 feet to place or approximately 4 car lengths.

  • Can The Bin Be Placed Where I Want It?

    Most of the time we can accommodate bin placement requests. Our drivers do have the final discretion on bin placement as safety and ensuring no property damage occurs is a priority for us. Factors such as the turning radius of the truck, length, and height of the needed area to offload the bin do impact placement. Truck Rails need to rise about 20 feet so low-hanging power lines, tree branches, carports, or garages can also impede.

  • Can The Bin Damage Property?

    Yes, it is possible. Placing a bin on a level hard surface significantly minimizes/negates potential damage. Disposal Bins have large rollers on the rear that allow them to roll off the truck onto the ground. Bins weigh 3 tons and the trucks much more. Bins can sink on lawns that appear dry. Asphalt driveways in the summer can have divots left in them from the weight of the bin. We can place wood down for the bin rails to sit on. Often this reduces the risk of damage to driveways. We kindly note we will not assume liability for damaged sidewalks, driveways and other property within and beyond the curb line (our lawyers made us say that).

  • How High Can The Bin Be Filled?

    The material in the Bin must be loaded with an even weight distribution and not exceed the Bin height. Bins, by law, must be tarped to safely transport them. Materials may be removed, or bin pickup refused if the load cannot be transported safely. In either case, a fee will apply to offload material or return for a pick-up once the bin is loaded properly.

  • Can I Move The Bin?

    No. For safety and insurance reasons as well as to negate potential damage to the bin or property only Bin There can move a Bin. For a reasonable fee, we will move the bin if it is required. Any damage that is not normal wear and tear will be the responsibility of the client.
