Running a construction project in Burnaby means juggling tight job sites, a steady stream of trades, and a constant flow of waste - drywall offcuts, framing lumber, roofing tear-off, concrete, and mixed demolition debris. From the TOD high-rises going up in Brentwood and Metrotown, to BCIT's skilled-trades campus expansion, to single-family teardowns in The Heights and Capitol Hill, Burnaby is one of the busiest construction markets in the Lower Mainland - and the last thing your crew needs is a waste-disposal problem slowing down the schedule.
Minibins is a Canadian-owned, locally operated bin rental company servicing Burnaby and the rest of Metro Vancouver. We supply Burnaby contractors, GCs, and subtrades with heavy-duty construction dumpster bins from 8 to 40 yards, available 7 days a week with flexible dispatch around your site access windows. Whether you're framing a custom home off Hastings, demoing a kitchen in a Metrotown tower, or running a multi-trade build near Lougheed, we get the right bin to your site - on time, with no surprises.
Our Burnaby construction bins handle heavy, non-hazardous building and demolition materials from any job site, including:
All material is transported to licensed sorting facilities operating under Metro Vancouver Regional District oversight. Clean wood, metal, and cardboard are diverted from landfill wherever possible. For projects in Brentwood, Metrotown, and other high-density developments targeting green-building certifications, we can supply waste diversion and LEED documentation to support your reporting requirements.
Please note: Hazardous materials – including asbestos, paint, liquid chemicals, batteries, propane tanks, and tires – cannot be accepted. Contact our dispatch team if you’re unsure about a material on your site.
From a single-trade bathroom tear-out in Edmonds to a full commercial demolition near Lougheed, Minibins has the container size to match your volume. All bins are available for drop-off, swap, and pick-up 7 days a week – Burnaby construction timelines don’t wait for Monday morning.
| Bin Size | Approximate Dimensions | Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 Yard | 13’ L × 6.5’ W × 2.5’ H | ~3 truck loads | Heavy materials (concrete/soil), roofing tear-offs, small demolitions |
| 12 Yard | 13’ L × 6.5’ W × 4.5’ H | ~4 truck loads | Renovations, framing cleanups, mid-size contracting jobs |
| 20 Yard ★ Most Popular | 14’ L × 8’ W × 5’ H | ~7 truck loads | New residential builds, large renovations, ongoing job sites |
| 30 Yard | 16’ L × 8’ W × 6’ H | ~10 truck loads | Commercial renovations, multi-family builds, multi-trade sites |
| 40 Yard | 20’ L × 8’ W × 7’ H | ~13 truck loads | Major demolition, large-scale commercial builds, high-volume debris |
Going heavy (concrete, dirt, brick, asphalt)?
Stick to an 8-yard or 12-yard “rock box.” Anything larger filled with heavy material exceeds the truck’s safe pickup weight, and you’ll end up paying overage fees at the transfer station. If you have both heavy and mixed waste, separate them – we’ll spot two bins.
Running a multi-trade build with rolling waste?
A 20-yard or 30-yard is usually the sweet spot for a SFH build or mid-size commercial reno. Schedule a swap-out before the bin overflows – we deliver an empty and haul the full one in a single visit, so your crew never loses a half-day to a full bin.
Major demo or full teardown?
Go 40-yard for the demo phase, then drop down to a 20 or 30 once framing starts. Bin sizing should track the phase of work, not the project as a whole – and we’ll help you sequence it.
Calculate your required bin size based off how much waste you have.
All Bin sizes are Approximate.
Dumpsters are available for delivery seven days a week. Pick-up and delivery times can be arranged 24 hours a day. Contact us to learn quickly which dumpster size is best for your needs. We can have a garbage bin rental out to you as soon as you need it. Our Coquitlam dumpster rentals are easy to schedule for drop off and pickups.
We’ve been hauling in Burnaby for years. Our drivers know the loading constraints around Brentwood Town Centre, the alley access in The Heights, the laneways behind Edmonds, and which Big Bend industrial yards have the swing room for a 40-yard rolloff. That route knowledge keeps your delivery windows tight and your site on schedule.
Construction doesn’t stop on weekends. We deliver, swap, and pick up bins 7 days a week with flexible scheduling around your trade sequence and site access hours.
From an 8-yard rock box for a Capitol Hill basement dig to a 40-yard rolloff for a Metrotown podium demo, we’ll match the bin to the phase of work – and resize as the job progresses. No over-ordering, no undersizing.
Your site waste goes to licensed facilities operating under Metro Vancouver Regional District governance. We prioritize aggressive recycling – clean wood, metal, drywall (post-1990), and cardboard are diverted from landfill wherever possible. For commercial and multi-family projects in Burnaby pursuing green-building credits, we supply waste diversion and LEED documentation on request.

We deliver construction bins to every corner of the city – North, South, East, and Central Burnaby. Common service areas include:
If you’re building or renovating anywhere in Burnaby, we can get a construction bin to your site – usually same-day or next-day, depending on when you call.
Most Burnaby contractors place bins on their own job site or driveway – and in those cases, no City permit is needed. If your site doesn’t have space and you need to place the bin on a public street, lane, sidewalk, or boulevard, the City of Burnaby requires a Traffic Control Permit before delivery.
We’ll work with you on placement and timing. If you’re applying for a Traffic Control Permit, reach the City of Burnaby Engineering / Permits team at 604-294-7290 – or we can advise on which option fits your project.
Drywall heads-up: Metro Vancouver regulations require pre-1990 drywall to be tested for asbestos before disposal. If you’re tearing out older walls in a Heights or Capitol Hill home, separate the drywall and let us know in advance so we can route it correctly.
In most cases we offer same-day or next-day delivery to Burnaby. We recommend booking 24 hours in advance to lock in your preferred delivery window, especially for early-morning drops on multi-trade sites.
If the bin sits entirely on private property (driveway, parking area, or a fenced job site), no City permit is required. If the bin needs to go on a public street, sidewalk, lane, or boulevard, the City of Burnaby requires a Traffic Control Permit. Contact the City at 604-294-7290 for permit details, or call us – we’ll walk you through the options.
Yes. Alley and laneway placement is common in The Heights, Capitol Hill, and the older grid neighbourhoods of South Burnaby. We need roughly 10–12 feet of width and clear overhead clearance to drop the bin safely. If you’re not sure your lane will accommodate the truck, send us a photo and we’ll confirm before we dispatch.
Heavy materials – concrete, brick, dirt, asphalt – typically need to go into smaller bins (8 or 12-yard “rock boxes”) so the truck can legally and safely lift the weight. Mixing heavy material into a 20+ yard bin almost always triggers overage fees at the transfer station. The cheapest strategy is usually to separate clean concrete/dirt from mixed C&D debris into two bins. Call dispatch and we’ll size both for you.
Metro Vancouver has strict rules around drywall to prevent asbestos contamination. New drywall (post-1990) can be recycled if it’s clean and date-stamped. Older drywall (pre-1990) must be tested for asbestos before disposal. If you’re working on an older Burnaby home – common in The Heights, Capitol Hill, and parts of South Burnaby – keep the drywall separate and let us know so we route it correctly. For drywall-only loads, see our drywall recycling and disposal services.
Yes. Many new commercial and multi-family builds in Burnaby – especially in the Brentwood, Metrotown, and Lougheed TOD corridors – require strict environmental tracking. We partner with licensed recycling facilities that divert wood, metal, drywall, and cardboard from landfill, and we can supply the documentation you need to support your project’s sustainability goals.
Call dispatch for a swap-out. We deliver an empty bin to your site and haul the full one away in the same visit, so your crew experiences zero downtime. On multi-week Burnaby sites we can pre-schedule recurring swaps to match your trade sequence.
Hazardous and restricted materials, including asbestos, paint, liquid chemicals, fuels, solvents, batteries, propane tanks, tires, and electronics. If you’re not sure about something on your site, call dispatch before you load it.

What people think about us
This is our second time using Minibins. Both times they have provided exceptional service. Everyone from dispatch to driver were friendly and professional. Delivery and pickup of bin was prompt and priced accordingly. Definitely recommend. Our experiences have been flawless.
As a Vendor Coordinator for a music festival it was my responsibility to organize the garbage bins. I left that task quite late and ended up calling a few different bin rental places. What a pleasure it was to talk to Minibins because for them it was NO problem to get me the number of bins I needed in a very short time. Delivered on time, professional and amazing to work with. Call Minibins and you will never use another Dumpster Rental company…. I currently won’t!
called Minibins for a last-minute rental before a long weekend; unfortunately, they didn’t have one available but called me back 30 min later to tell me they were able to secure one. I could not be any happier. The bin was delivered first thing Saturday morning and Minibins saved the family reunion long weekend. Need to rent a bin…just call Minibins…they will do an amazing job.
