What goes
in the bin

Heavy loads: keep them separate

Concrete, asphalt, brick, soil and stone are billed at a different disposal rate than mixed renovation waste, because they go to a different facility. If you're doing a driveway or a patio tear-out, tell us when you book and we'll send the right bin at the right rate. Mixing a few wheelbarrows of concrete into a bin of mixed debris will bump the whole load to the higher rate.

Clean fill

Soil, stone and concrete with no wood, plastic, metal or garbage mixed in counts as clean fill and is the cheapest load we haul. Once anything else goes in, it isn't clean fill anymore.

Weight limits and overage

Every bin size includes a tonnage allowance — 1.5 tons on a 10 yard, 2 tons on a 14, 3 tons on a 20 and 5 tons on a 40. Go over and the extra is billed by the ton at the rate on your quote. We weigh at a certified scale and the ticket goes on your invoice, so you can see exactly what you're paying for.

Loading rules

• Load level with the top rail. We can't legally haul a bin loaded above the sides — it's a road safety issue and the driver will have to leave it.
• Spread the weight. Heavy material in one corner makes the bin hard to load and can damage the truck.
• Break down what you can. Flattened cardboard and dismantled furniture can be the difference between one bin and two.
• Keep the door clear if you plan to use it — a bin loaded against the rear door can't be closed for transport.

Prohibited items — why it matters

Landfills and transfer stations reject loads containing hazardous material, and the load comes back to us. If prohibited items are found in your bin, we'll return it to you or charge the sorting and re-tipping cost. It's not a policy we enjoy enforcing, so if you're unsure about something, it's a 30-second phone call.

Peel Region takes household hazardous waste free of charge at its Community Recycling Centres, and that's usually the fastest route for paint, batteries and electronics.

Still not sure?

Call dispatch at (905) 555-0147 or send us the details and describe the job. We've sized and sorted thousands of loads — we'd rather answer the question than send a truck twice.
