How does a mini bin make waste collection easier?

Every business wants to do the most responsible thing when it comes to waste and recycling. A safe method of collecting garbage is needed. That’s where a mini bin comes into play.

A business is given a single location to put all their waste. It isn’t left accumulating in piles or scattered across a job site. It’s all in one hazard-free place.

Disposing of this waste, there are regulations and environmental expectations one must follow. Failure to do so results in fines. A mini bin rental service already knows these rules and regulations inside and out. When you use a mini bin with a trusted company, you’re removing waste in the most eco-responsible way possible.

What size dumpster or mini bin do I need?

Mini bins vary in size from 4 yards to 20. They can be small enough to sit down on a residential property which is great for small renovations, roof replacements or installations, and similar projects. They can also be large enough to accommodate the waste disposal needs of a construction, demolition, or industrial site.

 4-yard mini bin. The smallest dumpster is only 1-yard in size. They are your average rear-loading container. We’ve all seen them. A 4-yard mini bin is four times the size of a dumpster. They are small when discussing waste disposal bins. 4-yard mini bins are often used for clean fill, concrete, block, and brick disposal.

 6-yard mini bin. This is another small mini bin rental. They are used by homeowners and residential contractors to clean up and save money against larger dumpsters. A 6-yard mini bin is perfect for household construction debris, medium-sized renovations, landscaping, seasonal cleanups, and garage or basement cleanouts.

 8-yard mini bin. An 8-yard mini bin continues in the previous trend of bin size and application. Dumpster rentals this size are ideal for concrete, dirt, sod, rock, gravel, brick, and other materials. Its capacity is roughly three truck loads.

 10-yard disposal bin. Now we are moving into mini bin and dumpster territory where you need something bigger. Cost-effective 10-yard bins are ideal for household and construction debris, roofing materials, large renovations, demolitions, and more. A 10-yard bin will fit a standard residential driveway. It is multi-purpose, great for a variety of residential needs, and is worth the investment.

Is there enough room to put the mini bin on my property?

This is an important question. You can’t just install a dumpster or mini bin on the street. In neighborhoods across Toronto, some properties barely have enough space to fit a car.

Measure beforehand. Ensure what the mini bin’s going to be placed on isn’t going to incur damage from the weight or drop-off. A driveway or yard works. If you do use the lawn, we advise placing plywood underneath to minimize damage to the grass. If you’re looking at alternatives or have questions, consult with a representative.

How long does it take to have a mini bin rental dropped off at my property?

When you book a mini bin rental, same day service is provided. You don’t have to wait for tomorrow. A representative will drop off a mini bin the same day you call. Just let us know where.

How long do I get to keep a mini bin rental?

The average mini bin or dumpster rental period is between 24 hours and 5 days. If you need a dumpster for longer, let us know. In most cases, it can be arranged. You call us for drop-off and the same occurs for pick-up.

Can I mix materials in my dumpster rental?

Mini bins are rented for specific materials. If you rent a concrete disposal bin, you can’t put in wood. Waste is processed by weight and type. We run into contamination and cost issues as material gets mixed in.

If needed, you may want to rent a couple of mini bins or dumpsters. Each will have a separate use. Confirm beforehand what materials you want to put into your mini bin.

What is not allowed in a mini bin rental?

A mini bin rental accepts many materials. Some though it won’t accept. This is often due to contamination concerns or an inability to appropriately dispose of the material.

What is not accepted in a dumpster or mini bin rental are vehicle batteries, paint, propane and oil tanks, motor oils, gasoline, toxic materials, hazardous waste, medical waste, liquids and food, pesticides, animal carcasses or similar by-products, tires, petroleum products, and Freon from refrigerators, freezers, AC units, and other items.
