Tips before you book
- Heavy debris like concrete, brick or shingles hits the weight limit before the bin is full. Ask about tonnage included.
- Keep clean fill (concrete, brick, soil) separate when you can. Some providers charge less for it.
- Roofing: plan on about one 20 yard bin for an average home. Ask your roofer for the number of squares.
- Leave about 18 m of clear space for the truck, and protect your driveway with boards if needed.
- Check whether your city needs a permit to put the bin on the street.
- Long job? Ask about swap-outs so a full bin is replaced with an empty one.
