Materials & recycling

What goes in, what stays out and special loads.

What can go in a mixed-waste bin?

Fleetwood accepts approved household furniture, cabinets, lumber, flooring and renovation debris in mixed-waste bins. Drywall needs a drywall-only bin; concrete and dirt need a suitable rock box. Review the Material Guide, then request a project quote with your full material list so Fleetwood can confirm the load.

What materials must stay out?

Hazardous or contaminated waste, chemicals, paint, batteries, pressurized cylinders, food waste, electronics and appliances must stay out of Fleetwood mixed-waste bins. A surcharge does not make prohibited material acceptable. Review the Material Guide and contact Fleetwood before arranging a load if any item is uncertain.

Can you take appliances or metal equipment?

Appliances and equipment need a separate review; they cannot go in a regular mixed-waste bin. Tell Fleetwood the item type, quantity and whether it contains refrigerants, fluids, batteries or pressurized contents. Read about bulky-item enquiries or scrap metal loads, then request a project quote so acceptance and handling can be confirmed.

Can I request waste-diversion documentation?

You can request waste-diversion documentation before arranging the bins. Available records depend on the material streams and receiving facility, so reporting formats and timing must be confirmed in advance. Review Fleetwood documentation enquiries and contact Fleetwood with your project requirements.

Bins, pricing & payment

Choose a size and understand your rental terms.

Which bin size should I choose?

Choose the container by material first, then by volume and placement space. Fleetwood has 8- and 10-yard rock boxes for approved dense loads, and 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-yard dumpsters for approved mixed waste. Volume is not a weight allowance. You can compare Fleetwood bin sizes and request a project quote for help selecting a suitable option.

What does a bin rental cost?

Fleetwood pricing depends on the delivery city, container, material, weight and rental time. Enter your email and city to view local base rates; the written quote confirms included weight, surcharges, taxes and rental terms. To confirm the cost for your actual load and address, request a project quote.

How long can I keep the bin?

Rock boxes used for dirt or concrete include three days; mixed-waste dumpsters include five days. Extensions depend on availability and additional rental charges. Call at least one day before pickup is needed; collection is not automatic at the end of the included period. Contact Fleetwood to confirm an extension or collection date.

How do I pay?

Fleetwood accepts major credit and debit cards, including Visa and Mastercard, as well as EFTs and e-transfers. Commercial clients can also pay by cheque. Confirm payment timing and any deposit when accepting your written quote. Contact Fleetwood if you need payment instructions.

Delivery & placement

Plan your location, access and pickup.

Where can the bin be placed?

A bin can be placed on a suitable, level area that Fleetwood can safely reach for delivery and pickup. Keep the access route clear and disclose gates, slopes, overhead obstacles and surface concerns. Public or shared property may need permission. Review the placement guidance and contact Fleetwood to discuss your proposed location.

Do I need a permit?

Street or other public-property placement may require municipal permission or a permit before delivery. Shared property also needs the owner’s approval, and every location must allow safe truck access. Check the rules for the exact address, review the placement guidance, and contact Fleetwood to discuss a suitable location.

How do I arrange delivery and pickup?

Request delivery with your city, full address, material list and preferred dates. Fleetwood confirms availability, access and the schedule before a bin is booked. Call at least one day before you need pickup; collection is not automatic when the included rental period ends. Start with a quote request or contact Fleetwood about an existing rental.

Which areas do you serve?

Fleetwood serves Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Coverage and delivery arrangements are confirmed for the exact address, material and project dates. Check the service areas and request a project quote for your location.

Loading & safety

Use your container safely from start to finish.

How full can I load the bin?

Load material evenly and keep it level with the sides, within the material and weight limits confirmed by Fleetwood. Heavy material can reach the weight limit before the bin is full; do not machine-load or overfill the container. Review the placement guidance and contact Fleetwood before loading if you are unsure about the limit.

Can I move the bin myself?

No. Do not move a Fleetwood bin yourself, even if equipment is available. Fleetwood must arrange relocation and confirm safe access. Contact Fleetwood before changing the placement.
