Concrete
bin rental
Heavy-duty bins for slabs, footings, block, brick and interlock — with or without rebar. Crushed and recycled, not landfilled. And because we own the trucks, your Granular A comes back on the same trip.
One cubic yard of broken concrete weighs roughly one ton. A 20 yard bin filled with it is about 20 tons in the box — well past what a truck can legally lift or carry. We only offer the two small sizes for concrete, and that isn't upselling in reverse: it's the only way the load leaves your site.
Why concrete needs its own bin
Concrete is the densest thing most contractors ever throw away, and it behaves nothing like renovation waste. A 14 yard bin will happily swallow an entire kitchen gut and come in under two tons. Fill that same bin with broken slab and you'll hit the weight limit before it's half full.
It also goes somewhere different. Clean concrete doesn't belong in landfill — it goes to an aggregate recycler, gets crushed, and comes back out as the granular base under someone else's driveway. That facility charges by weight and it won't take a load with wood, drywall or garbage mixed in. Which is why keeping the load clean is worth real money to you: a clean concrete load is the cheapest material we haul, and a contaminated one gets rejected at the gate and re-routed to a transfer station at mixed-waste rates.
So: concrete in its own bin, nothing else in with it, in a size the truck can actually pick up.
Bins we send for concrete
| Bin | Dimensions | Included tonnage | Typical job | Flat rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | 12' × 8' × 3.5' | 1.5 tons | Walkway, steps, small pad, a few footings | $349 |
| 14 yard | 12' × 7' × 4' | 2 tons | Full driveway, patio, garage slab, foundation break-out | $399 |
Rough sizing rule: a 4-inch slab weighs about 150 lbs per square foot per inch of thickness — call it 50 lbs per square foot for a standard 4" pour. A 2-car driveway at roughly 600 square feet is therefore in the region of 15 tons of concrete, which is several 14 yard bins, not one. Tell dispatch the square footage and the thickness and we'll tell you how many bins the job actually takes, or put a truck and a loader on it instead. Guessing this one wrong is expensive.
What goes in a concrete bin
Yes — clean concrete load
- Broken slab, sidewalk and steps
- Foundation and footing concrete
- Reinforced concrete with rebar or mesh
- Concrete block and cinder block
- Clay and concrete brick
- Interlock, pavers and curb stone
- Natural stone and flagstone
- Mortar, parging and stucco rubble
- Clean concrete washout, cured solid
No — this contaminates the load
- Wood, forms and stakes
- Drywall and plaster
- Asphalt (different bin — different facility)
- Soil, sod and clay (ask for a fill bin)
- Plastic, vapour barrier and insulation
- Rebar cut loose and bundled on its own
- General garbage and packaging
- Painted or sealed decorative concrete
- Anything on the prohibited list
Rebar is fine. Reinforced concrete is normal demolition material and the recycler pulls the steel magnetically after crushing — leave it cast in the concrete. What causes a problem is loose rebar thrown in on its own, or long lengths sticking out past the top rail where they'll catch on the tarp.
Asphalt and concrete are not the same load
They look similar going into a bin and they go to completely different places. Asphalt is recycled as RAP and has its own tipping rate; concrete goes to an aggregate crusher. A bin with both in it gets charged at the higher rate for the whole load, and depending on the mix it may be turned away entirely. If you're taking out an asphalt driveway sitting on a concrete apron, tell us — that's genuinely two bins, and we'd rather send two than have you eat a rejected load. See asphalt bin rental.
Spread broken concrete across the floor of the bin rather than stacking it at one end. A bin with all the weight in the back corner is awkward to winch on and hard on the truck — and it's the most common reason a driver has to ask a crew to re-level a load before he can take it.
The Royal advantage
Slab out.
Granular in.
Nobody breaks out a slab and leaves a hole. Whatever comes out has to be replaced with something — Granular A under a new pour, ¾" clear under a patio, screening under interlock.
Bins-only companies can't help you with that half of the job. We're a dump trucking company that also rents bins, so the truck that hauls your broken concrete to the recycler comes back loaded with your base material. Same truck, same trip, one invoice.
And your crew isn't standing in an empty excavation waiting on somebody else's gravel truck.
Tell us it's concrete
Say so when you book. It changes the bin size, the rate and where the load goes — all three.
Bin lands on boards
Early AM drops available. Boards down on every residential placement, photo texted to you.
Break out and load flat
Level with the top rail. Keep wood, soil and garbage out and you stay on the clean-load rate.
Out to the crusher, back with base
Concrete goes to the recycler. Your Granular A, ¾" clear or screening comes back on the return leg.
What it costs
A 10 yard concrete bin is $349 and a 14 is $399, flat. That includes delivery, a 7-day rental, pickup, and disposal up to the bin's included tonnage. There's no fuel surcharge and no environmental levy added at the bottom of the invoice.
Over the tonnage, you're billed by the ton at the rate on your quote. Every load crosses a certified scale on the way to the facility and the scale ticket goes on your invoice, so an overage charge is something you can check rather than something you have to trust.
Adding base material on the return trip is quoted per tonne of aggregate plus a single delivery, not a second trip charge. Ask dispatch for a combined number when you book — that's where the money actually gets saved.
Concrete bins across the west GTA
We're based in Mississauga and run concrete bins daily across Peel, Halton and York — including Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon and Vaughan, plus Bolton, Georgetown, Woodbridge, Etobicoke, Milton, Oakville, Halton Hills and North York.
Because we're a hauling company first, there are trucks moving through those cities all day rather than one route that left the yard at six. Call before 3 PM and there's a strong chance your bin is on site the next morning.
Book a concrete bin
Call dispatch at (905) 555-0147 or send the job details. Tell us the square footage and the slab thickness and we'll tell you how many bins it really takes — before the jackhammer comes out, not after.
