What Can Go in a Construction Bin?

Most standard construction and renovation debris is accepted. Here’s what’s in and what’s out.

✓ Accepted Materials

  • Drywall and drywall compound
  • Lumber, framing materials, and engineered wood
  • Concrete, brick, and masonry
  • Asphalt shingles and roofing materials
  • Vinyl siding and trim
  • Flooring: hardwood, laminate, tile, subfloor
  • Cabinets, countertops, and millwork
  • Windows, doors, and frames
  • Metal framing, ductwork, and pipe

✗ Not Accepted — Hazardous

  • Paint, stains, solvents, and household chemicals
  • Asbestos-containing materials (homes pre-1990: insulation, floor tiles, textured ceilings)
  • Appliances containing refrigerants (fridges, AC units, dehumidifiers)
  • Batteries and electronics
  • Tires

If you’re unsure whether a material is accepted, call us before tossing it in. We’d rather answer the question in advance than have an issue at disposal.

How the Process Works

1

Order Your Bin

Call or book online through ecobinsandcartage.ca. Tell us your project type, approximate volume, and preferred delivery date. We’ll confirm the right bin size and schedule.

2

Let Us Know If Your Load Is Heavy

Construction materials vary significantly in weight. A bin filled with drywall and lumber is much lighter than one filled with concrete, brick, or roofing shingles. Weight limits apply at disposal — let us know what you’re disposing of, especially if your project involves large quantities of concrete, masonry, or roofing. We’ll help you plan accordingly.

3

We Deliver

Our Moffett-equipped trucks can place bins in tight spaces, on driveways, and in confined backyards where standard bin trucks can’t reach. Same-day delivery is available for most Winnipeg locations.

4

Protect Your Driveway

If your bin is going on an asphalt driveway, consider placing sheets of plywood under the bin’s contact points. Asphalt — particularly in warm weather — can be marked by the concentrated weight of a loaded bin. Plywood distributes the load more evenly.

5

Fill It at Your Pace

Standard rental periods are 7 days, with additional days at $10 per day. Fill the bin as you demo, and don’t worry about making multiple trips.

6

We Pick Up and Dispose

When you’re done, we haul the bin and handle proper disposal at licensed facilities. No dump runs, no renting a truck, no sorting required on your end.


Tips for Efficient Bin Use

  • Break down large items. Flatten drywall, cut long lumber to length, and break up large concrete pieces. Compact loads mean more material fits.
  • Heavy items go in first. Concrete, brick, and tile at the bottom — lighter materials like drywall and lumber on top.
  • Don’t overfill past the rim. Bins need to be covered for transport. Material above the top edge can’t be legally hauled.
  • Keep hazardous materials separate from the start. Don’t mix them in with regular debris hoping they’ll go unnoticed.

Weight tip: Concrete is the densest common construction waste. A bin loaded heavily with concrete will reach its weight limit before it reaches its volume limit. If your project involves significant concrete, mention it when booking so we can help you plan accordingly.


FAQ: Construction Waste Disposal Winnipeg

How long can I keep the bin?

Standard rental period is 7 days. Additional days are available at $10 per day. Let us know when you book if your project timeline is uncertain, and we’ll work around it.

Can I put concrete in with other debris?

Yes, concrete can go in with mixed construction debris. Keep in mind that concrete is dense, and a bin loaded heavily with concrete will reach its weight limit before it reaches its volume limit. If your project involves a significant volume of concrete specifically, mention it when booking so we can help you plan accordingly.

Do you offer same-day delivery?

Yes, same-day delivery is available for most Winnipeg locations, depending on scheduling. Call or book online early in the day for the best chance of same-day service. We also offer next-day scheduling for planned projects.
