What types of waste can go into a rental bin?

Knowing what can go into your rental bin helps avoid delays, safety risks and collection issues. Whether you are organizing construction waste removal, commercial clean-outs or residential junk removal in Alberta, understanding bin guidelines makes the process smoother.

Construction and renovation waste

Most building and renovation materials are suitable for bin disposal, including:

• Timber and pallets

• Drywall and plasterboard

• Roofing materials

• Pipes and ducting

• Packaging and plastics

• Flooring and tiles

• Bricks and rubble

• Mixed demolition debris

These materials are commonly collected as part of construction waste services across Calgary and Alberta.

Commercial and residential waste

Bins are widely used for:

• Office furniture and fittings

• Retail fixtures and shelving

• Broken appliances

• Old furniture and mattresses

• Garage and basement clean-outs

• Warehouse waste

• Property clear-outs and tenant move-outs

This type of waste is typical for commercial waste collection and junk removal services.

Farm and rural waste

Agricultural properties often use bins for:

• Scrap fencing and gates

• Old sheds and structures

• Machinery parts

• Timber and pallets

• Workshop waste

• Bulk mixed materials

Farm waste removal is common in rural Alberta where regular municipal services may be limited.

Items that need special approval

Some materials require special handling and should not be placed into bins without checking first. These include:

• Chemicals and liquids

• Fuel and oil containers

• Asbestos

• Medical waste

• Pressurized cylinders

• Flammable or explosive materials

If you are unsure about any item, contact your bin provider before loading. This helps prevent safety risks and avoids rejected collections.

Understanding what can go into your bin ensures faster service, safer sites and fewer interruptions to your project.
