Frequently Asked Questions
 We've been in the business of dumpster rentals in Toronto and the GTA for a
long time. Over the years, many of our clients ask us similar questions, so
we've compiled a list of common questions and answers here so you can get
an answer quickly. This is the printable version of this document. For the
original, visit the dumpster rental FAQ on our website. Contact us directly if
you have any questions about our bin rentals that aren't answered here.

3. What's the difference between a
dumpster rental and junk removal?
 A dumpster rental is the drop off, usage and pick up of just the
dumpster. Junk removal includes all of this plus our staff who will come and
remove all 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.

4. What sizes of garbage dumpsters do you
have for rent?
 All kinds! Our dumpsters range in size from 7 cubic yards to 14 cubic yards for
clean fill and mixed waste. We also have bins from 20 – 40 cubic yards 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.

5. What size dumpster bin do I need?
 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.
 To get a better gauge of the size of the bin you will need, use our online
calculator. For an even better estimate give us a shout so we can make sure
we have all your needs covered.
 One thing we do like to mention when choosing bin size is that our trash
dumpsters cannot be overloaded for safety reasons (hello flying toilets on the
highway!) and we’ll have to charge extra if your bin is overloaded.

6. Clean Fill? Mixed Waste? What?
 Put simply, clean fill is just concrete, interlock, brick and block, dirt, soil,
grass or asphalt. It’s important to know that when filling a disposal bin with
clean fill, 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.

7. Where can I take my hazardous waste?
 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.

8. Can you leave the dumpster on my
street?
 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.

9. Will the disposal bin damage my
driveway?
 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!

10. Do I need to be at my home or business when
you drop off and pick up the waste bin?
 Yes, we need you to be there when we’re delivering or picking up the waste
bin.

11. How much advance notice do you need
for dumpster rental?
 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.
 Please give us a few days’ notice when booking a trash dumpster rental
around weekends and holidays.

12. What areas do you deliver disposal bins
to?
 We drop off dumpsters in Toronto as well as the surrounding cities including
Burlington, Brampton, Mississauga, Vaughan, Pickering, and Oshawa as well as
many of the towns in the GTA. See our disposal bin rental service areas for
more details.

13. Are you environmentally friendly?
 Absolutely! We take special care in sorting the disposal bins we pick up from
you to make sure we recycle or reuse as much as possible. You’d be surprised
at the amount of rubbish and waste that can be reused or recycled. We make
every effort to operate a green waste bin rental business and work green,
because it’s our planet too.

14. Do you deliver waste bins in the wee
hours of the morning or late at night?
 Yes! Procedures are a little different than daytime delivery, but yes, we do
deliver disposal bins early in the morning or late at night. Please contact us or
indicate this when you book online for details.

15. What types of payment do you accept?
 We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard and Amex. A pre-authorization will be
taken for credit card payments before delivery of a disposal bin. Charges will
be applied once the disposal bin is delivered or the job is complete
