Construction in Richmond is dynamic, ranging from high-density commercial developments near YVR and the Riverport industrial district to established residential teardowns in Steveston and the evolving City Centre. Managing waste on these sites requires a hauler that understands Richmond’s unique geography—from navigating heavy traffic zones near No. 3 Road to coordinating access on narrow residential lanes. Your project timeline is tight, and you cannot afford delays caused by a bin that doesn't show up or a site that is cluttered with debris.
Minibins provides dedicated construction waste removal for Richmond’s GCs, sub-trades, and residential developers. Whether you are managing a large-scale commercial build near the airport or a home renovation in the West Cambie neighborhood, we supply heavy-duty bins from 8 to 40 yards with the flexibility to adapt to your construction schedule, 7 days a week. We provide the right container to your site exactly when you need it, ensuring your crew stays focused on the build, not the cleanup.
Our Richmond construction bins are designed to handle heavy, non-hazardous building and demolition waste. We accommodate:
We transport all loads to licensed sorting facilities that prioritize diversion from the landfill. For Richmond projects pursuing green building certifications or LEED reporting, we can supply the necessary waste diversion documentation upon request.
Please note: We cannot accept hazardous materials, including asbestos, paint, chemicals, liquid waste, batteries, propane tanks, or tires. If you have concerns about a specific material, please reach out to our dispatch office before loading.
From a kitchen renovation in the Steveston area to full-site demolition projects near the Knight Street corridor, we have the capacity to handle your debris volume. We offer efficient drop-off, swap, and pick-up services seven days a week, so your project schedule isn’t restricted by weekend closures.
| 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 |
For Concrete, Dirt, or Asphalt:
These are dense, heavy materials. Always use an 8-yard or 12-yard “rock box.” Loading heavy material into a 30 or 40-yard bin will quickly exceed the truck’s legal payload capacity, leading to weight overages and potential safety issues. If you have both heavy debris and light construction waste, it is almost always more cost-effective to book two separate, smaller bins.
For Multi-Trade Construction:
A 20-yard or 30-yard container is typically the most efficient size for ongoing residential builds or mid-sized commercial renovations. When the bin reaches capacity, contact us to schedule a “swap-out”—we drop an empty and haul the full one in the same visit, preventing your site from stalling while waiting for a truck.
For Large-Scale Demo:
Start with a 40-yard for the structural demolition phase, then transition to a 20 or 30-yard bin once you move into the framing or finishing stages. We are happy to help you sequence your bin rentals to match the phase of your project.
Calculate your required bin size based off how much waste you have.
All Bin sizes are Approximate.
Choosing the correct bin size is key to keeping your project on budget and on schedule. Whether you are managing a tight residential site or a large commercial build, our team is here to guide you to the perfect fit. We offer 24-hour flexibility for deliveries and pickups, ensuring your timeline isn’t interrupted by waste disposal delays. We provide rapid, reliable bin service throughout Richmond—contact our dispatch team today to discuss your site requirements and get a unit on-site exactly when you need it.
Our drivers are intimately familiar with Richmond’s layout. Whether it’s finding clear access to a site in the busy City Centre, navigating the specific truck routes required near the industrial lands, or maneuvering into a laneway in Steveston, we understand the local constraints. This ensures your delivery windows are met without unnecessary site navigation issues.
We know construction doesn’t take the weekend off. We offer full bin services—delivery, swapping, and pick-up—seven days a week, allowing you to align your waste management with your specific trade schedules and site access hours.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all rentals. From compact rock boxes for small digs to massive high-volume rolloffs for major commercial podiums, we match the equipment to the specific phase of your build. This eliminates over-ordering and ensures you aren’t paying for air.
Your waste is directed to licensed Lower Mainland facilities governed by Metro Vancouver Regional District standards. We aggressively promote the recovery of wood, metal, drywall (post-1990), and cardboard. We are equipped to support your project’s green initiatives with verifiable documentation when required.

We deliver construction bins to every corner of Richmond—from the northern riverfront to the southern agricultural districts. Common service areas include:
Most Richmond 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 Richmond requires a Street Use Permit. We’ll work with you on placement and timing. If you’re applying for a permit, reach the City of Richmond Engineering Department—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 historic Steveston home or an older Richmond build, 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 across Richmond. We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance to secure your preferred delivery window, especially for early-morning drops on high-density multi-trade sites.
If the bin is placed on your private property or driveway, no permit is required. If your site lacks space and you need to place the bin on a public street, sidewalk, or lane, the City of Richmond requires a Street Use Permit. We are familiar with the permitting process and can advise you on the best placement for your specific location.
Yes. Our drivers are experienced with the laneway systems throughout Richmond, including the narrow lanes in Steveston and the industrial zones near the Riverport area. As long as there is sufficient clearance for our trucks to maneuver safely, we can accommodate alley placement.
We strongly recommend against mixing these. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt should be placed in designated “rock box” bins (8 or 12 yards). Mixing them with lighter construction debris (wood, drywall) can easily exceed our trucks’ safe payload capacity, resulting in significant overage fees at the transfer station.
Per Metro Vancouver regulations, all drywall must be kept separate and clean for recycling. If you are renovating a home built before 1990, you must provide documentation that the drywall has been tested and cleared of asbestos. Please inform our team before booking so we can route your drywall to the correct facility.
Yes. We can provide waste diversion and LEED documentation for commercial and multi-family projects in Richmond. Please let us know when booking if your project requires this reporting so we can track the material accordingly.
That is not a problem. Just give us a call or book online to schedule a “swap.” We will arrive with an empty bin and haul the full one away in the same visit, ensuring your crew experiences minimal downtime.
We cannot accept hazardous materials, including asbestos, liquid paint, chemicals, liquid waste, batteries, propane tanks, and tires. If you are unsure if a material is accepted, please contact our dispatch team 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.
