  • I would like to shout out these guys! Finding a waste disposal company that handles heavy materials like concrete without a bunch of hidden fees or headaches is usually very difficult but Big Bin made the process very easy. Pricing was great and the team was very professional. I would genuinely recommend them for any big project!

How garbage bin rental in Pickering works

Three steps. You tell us what is going in and where the bin can stand. A truck sets the empty bin on that spot, and later a truck takes it away full. Nobody usually has to be at the house for either visit. We need the exact spot, and room for the truck to get to it.

Our yard is in Mississauga, and the trucks that serve Pickering also go to Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Toronto and Markham.

  1. 01

    Tell us about the job

    Call or email with what you are clearing, where the bin can stand, and when you need it.

  2. 02

    The bin arrives

    A truck sets the bin down where you asked. Nothing is emptied at your place: you or your crew fill it when it suits you.

  3. 03

    It leaves full

    The truck takes the whole bin away, and the load is weighed at the dump.

How much does garbage bin rental in Pickering cost?

Bin rentals from $718, before HST, for a 14 yard bin of household and renovation waste. There are two bills, from two different places. If the bin needs the City’s road occupancy permit, the City charges for it and you pay the City. Everything else is the rental, and a Pickering address adds nothing to it.

On the rental, the bin size and what goes in set the price. With household and renovation waste, the price includes some weight: 2 tonnes for a 14 yard bin, 3 tonnes for a 30 yard and 4 tonnes for a 40 yard. The full bin is weighed at the dump, and each tonne over what the price includes is added. The fill line marked on each bin shows how high to load it. Going over it costs extra, and so does keeping a bin past 7 days.

If the driver has no room to set the bin down on the day, that is a failed delivery. Bin rental prices lists it with the other extra charges.

To see each charge explained, read Bin and dumpster rental cost. Our free weight calculator gives a rough weight for your pile. To see your own price, with tax included, get a quote online.

Can a bin go on your driveway in Pickering?

Yes, on your own land. Pickering asks for no City permit for a bin inside your property line. The grass strip along the street is, in the City’s own words, municipal property and is known as a boulevard, so the end of a driveway where it meets the street can be City land.

On a City road or boulevard, placing a moving container, dumpster or storage bin needs the City’s road occupancy permit. Apply a minimum of seven days prior to occupancy for a regular permit.

The City’s permit does not reach a Regional road. Those belong to the Region of Durham, which names each of them in its own Regional Roads List, so on one of them, ask the Region.

At the moment, the customer applies for this permit; Big Bin does not apply for one.

Where is the dump in Pickering, and when is it open?

The Region of Durham’s waste management facilities open to the public are at 1640 Ritson Road North, Oshawa, and in Port Perry and Cannington, and none of them is in Pickering. Each keeps the same hours and charges the same fees. What the Ritson Road site takes, and what it charges: Oshawa dump: hours, fees and what it takes.

At the gate, your vehicle crosses weigh scales both entering and exiting, and the cost is worked out at the exit. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or debit only.

Household hazardous waste, from paint and solvents to propane tanks and batteries, can be dropped off at a waste management facility for free, with a daily limit of 50 litres, or 25 cans, for each vehicle; asbestos is not taken. Keep hazardous waste in a load of its own: if anything in a load carries a charge, the Region charges for the whole load by weight. The Region also has a Household Special Waste Depot at 1998 Bowmanville Avenue, Bowmanville, for household hazardous waste only.

The Ritson Road site also runs a reuse centre for paint and stain: residents can drop off or collect high-quality reusable paints and stains at no cost, five cans a vehicle a day at most. For a rented bin, What can go in a bin lists what is allowed, item by item.

Garbage and junk removal in Pickering

In Pickering, a rented bin takes the junk from a clear-out and the waste from a renovation together: furniture, mattresses, household contents, scrap metal, drywall, cabinets, tile and branches. If something is unusual, call 416-458-4324 before the bin arrives. To choose between a bin and junk removal, see Bin rental or junk removal?

The Region of Durham, not the City, collects garbage, green bin and yard waste in Pickering. Up to four garbage bags can go to the curb every other week, before 7 a.m. on collection day, and no bag or can may weigh more than 20 kilograms. Any bag past the four needs a garbage bag tag.

Renovation waste is not part of it: the Region does not collect renovation material such as cabinetry, lumber, drywall, doors, carpet or underlay.

Furniture, mattress and appliance removal in Pickering

Furniture and mattresses go to the curb in Pickering for the Region to pick up on your regular garbage day, every other week, with no appointment needed. The Region collects up to two items per pickup, a couch or a mattress and box spring among them, and a separate truck comes for them.

A fridge, freezer, stove, washer, dryer or air conditioner needs a booking: the Region picks up appliances by appointment only, and it sets no limit on how many. Take the doors off a fridge, freezer or dryer and drain a washer first, then book through the Region’s waste app or 311.

Yard waste pickup in Pickering

In Pickering, yard waste is picked up at the curb from April to early December. The pickup takes branches, twigs and brush, garden waste, fallen fruit and pumpkins.

Use paper yard waste bags or clearly labelled, returnable open-top containers, and keep each one under 20 kg; yard waste left in plastic bags, cardboard boxes or a green bin is not picked up. Tie brush into bundles no more than a metre long, with no branch over 10 cm across.

Will a Pickering load weigh more than the bin includes?

Tile, wet plaster and roofing shingles are heavy for their size. Measure the pile you plan to throw out, and our free weight calculator turns its length, width and height into an estimate in tonnes, so you can see before you book whether your load would go over the weight the bin includes.

Which garbage bin size suits a Pickering job?

All three of our bins come to Pickering: 14, 30 or 40 yard. Two questions pick the size: what is going in, and how much of it there is.

What is going in comes first. Concrete and soil each go in a 14 yard bin of their own, never together, and either one is priced flat, with no charge for weight. Keep them clean too: if anything else is in with them, the bin is not taken away. If you have filled the bin by the time that is found, a charge applies as well. Asphalt is not a material Big Bin takes, in any bin size. Big Bin does not take contaminated soil. To see why concrete gets its own bin, read Concrete disposal.

How much comes second. A garage clear-out or a basement of old furniture fills a bin by space, not by weight. If a bin fills up before the job is done, a second bin costs extra, so leave some room when you choose. To compare the three bins side by side, see the Bin size guide.

The three bins, measured height by length by width, with the household and renovation jobs each one suits.

Before a bin comes to your Pickering address, look at the way in as well as the spot. The truck needs about 25 feet of headroom to lift its bed, 10 feet of width and 65 feet of straight, clear space to back in. These are rough numbers, so call and describe the spot if yours is tighter.

Construction bin rental in Pickering

On a Pickering construction site, a bin full of household and renovation waste can be swapped for an empty bin of that size. With household waste, the empty bin comes with the same weight included as the first one, and its own 7 days on site, counted from the swap. Each household-waste swap is billed as one trip for a bin that size, never as another rental. There is no swap rate for clean concrete or clean soil, so every bin of either after the first costs the full price again.

A site bin on a City road or boulevard in Pickering needs the City’s road occupancy permit.

Bin rental for contractors sets out how swaps work on a long job. Construction bin rental helps when the waste changes as the build goes on. Running several Pickering jobs, or managing a building? See Commercial bin and dumpster rental.

Bin rental in Pickering: common questions

Do I need a permit for a bin in Pickering?

Not for a spot on your own land, though the end of a driveway where it meets the street can be City land. On a City road or boulevard, yes: placing a dumpster or storage bin there needs the City’s road occupancy permit, applied for at least seven days ahead. On a Region of Durham road, ask the Region. At the moment, you apply, not Big Bin.

Where is the dump in Pickering?

None of the Region of Durham’s public sites is in Pickering. Its waste management facilities open to the public are at 1640 Ritson Road North, Oshawa, and in Port Perry and Cannington. All three open Tuesday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and close on holidays. A load of up to 40 kg costs $7 source [5]; above that, $1.40 source [5] for every 8 kg. Household hazardous waste is free to drop off. Visa, Mastercard or debit only; no cash. The Ritson Road site in full: Oshawa dump: hours, fees and what it takes.

What can go in a bin in Pickering?

Furniture, mattresses, household contents, wood, drywall, cabinets, tile, carpet, roofing shingles, scrap metal, fencing and branches can go in a bin of household and renovation waste. Asphalt is not a material Big Bin takes, in any bin size. Big Bin does not take contaminated soil. Paint, propane tanks, batteries and tires stay out of the bin and go to a drop-off of their own. For a Pickering household, the Region of Durham’s waste management facilities take paint and other household hazardous waste at no charge. If something is unusual, call 416-458-4324 before the bin arrives. For the rest, item by item, see What can go in a bin.

Can I rent a dumpster in Pickering?

Yes. Big Bin’s 14, 30 and 40 yard roll-off bins go to Pickering, at the same price as anywhere else we deliver. A bin on a City street or boulevard needs the City’s road occupancy permit.
