Heads up — not every size runs in every area
The lineup above covers what we rent across Ontario and Alberta, but availability depends on where you are, and our largest bins aren't offered everywhere. Dimensions can vary slightly by region too. If the exact size you want isn't available at your postal code, pick the closest one — enter your postal code when you check pricing and you'll see what's available at your address.
Not Sure How Much Junk You Have? Think in Pickup Trucks
The easiest way to size up your pile: picture how many pickup truck loads it would take to haul it away. A standard pickup holds about 2.5 cubic yards. So if your junk would fill four pickup trucks, you're looking at roughly 10 yards of debris — and a 15 yard bin gives you room to load it comfortably.
Still eyeballing it? That's fine. Most people underestimate their junk, which brings us to the golden rule below.
When in Doubt, Size Up
Here's the honest truth from 24 years in the bin business: ordering one size bigger is almost always cheaper than ordering a second bin. If you're stuck between two sizes for general waste, take the bigger one. For roofing, stay within the 20 yard limit; concrete, soil and other heavy fill require the 6 or 8 yard Soil & Concrete bins. An extra bit of breathing room costs a little; a second delivery costs a lot.
Renting for Concrete, Dirt or Brick? Read This First
Heavy materials like concrete, soil, brick, asphalt and rock can only go in our low-wall 6 and 8 yard Soil & Concrete bins. It's not about space — it's about weight. A big bin full of concrete is too heavy to lift safely, and roads have legal weight limits.
If you've got more than one bin's worth of heavy material, no problem: we'll swap out your full bin for a fresh empty one. It's how the pros do driveways and patios.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the most popular dumpster size?
The 20 yard bin is our most popular size. It handles multi-room renovations, roofing tear-offs, and big cleanouts, while still fitting comfortably on a residential driveway.
What happens if I order the wrong size bin?
If your bin fills up, we can swap it for a fresh one (a second rental applies). That's why we suggest sizing up when you're in between — one bigger bin beats two deliveries.
How much weight is included with my rental?
Every rental includes 1,000 kg of disposal. If you go over, the extra weight is billed by the kilogram — heavy materials like shingles, tile, and wet wood add up faster than you'd think, so mention them when booking.
Will the bin damage my driveway?
Our bins are driveway friendly, and our drivers place boards under the rails when needed. Just let us know where you'd like it placed when you book.
Are the bin dimensions exact?
Bin dimensions may vary slightly depending on your area, since different regions run slightly different equipment — the volume you get will be very close to the size you book.
What is the largest bin for roofing?
Roofing jobs are capped at 20 yards because shingles are heavy and truck lifting and road weight limits apply. For larger tear-offs, we can swap the full bin for an empty one.
Is every bin size available in my area?
Not every bin size is available in every area, especially 30 and 40 yard bins. Check pricing for your postal code; if your recommended size is unavailable, choose the closest size or ask us about a swap-out.
