What size bin should I book?2022-03-22T21:54:09+00:00

So, you’ve decided to unclutter your home and you’re not sure what size of bin to book – 10, 17, 21 (Calgary only) or 25 yards (small, medium or large). The best way to do this is to collect everything together in a pile. The bigger the pile, the bigger the bin. All our bins are 14’ long. That’s the length of a car. We have a 17 yard 4’ high, a 25 yard 6’ high. We hope this helps you out.

For smaller loads we now have an economy bin, 12’ x 8’ x 3’ high. It’s a great deal. Check out our rates.

How long do I have to load my bin?2022-03-22T21:54:12+00:00

10 cu yards – 3 days – For smaller garbage cleanup and renovations. Super easy to load (12’ long x 8’ wide x 3’ tall)

17 cu yards – 8 days – Most common bin booking for all-around garbage cleanup and renovations. Easy to load (14’ long x 8’ wide x 4’ tall)

21 cu yards – 8 days – This bin is great for when a 17 appears too small but a 25 just too big. 21 cu yards meets you in the middle. (14’ long x 8’ wide x 5’ tall)

25 cu yards – 8 days – Great for house cleanouts or hauling away brush or just any big projects. Comes with a shorter gate for easy loading (14’ long x 8’ wide x 6’ tall)

Rock bin – 3 days – Made special for rocks, concrete, dirt, pavement, etc. (14’ long x 8’ wide x 2’ tall)

When we say, “All in™” we mean “All in™” but we do require prohibited and recyclables to be placed at the back door or on top of the load so our driver can sort it at the landfill. If you can load it, we can dump it! All items need to be inside the bin, not overflowing and the back door needs to close securely.

Types of loads include:

  • Brush or yard waste (recycled)
  • Wood (recycled)
  • Metal (recycled)
  • Garbage (general household)
  • Demolition (renovation materials mixed) – Includes floors, bathrooms, kitchens, sinks, toilets, flooring, 2 x 4s, doors etc.

  • Drywall (recycled)
  • Roofing – asphalt shingles (recycled)
  • Rock, dirt, concrete, pavement (recycled)

Please let us know when calling in for pickup so we can deal with the load properly and make every effort to reduce this disposal cost when we are at the landfill.

Wood Waste – ALL WOOD ONLY. Construction materials new or old. No trees or branches. Nails and screws are okay.

Yard Waste – Green waste such as grass trimmings, leaves, tree pruning less than 5 cm in circumference, flowers, hedge clippings etc. sod is not acceptable.
