Port Edward is a small district municipality on the North Coast, about 15 km south-east of Prince Rupert. The 2021 census counted 470 residents. It's one of the surrounding communities that Big Dog Disposal & Recycling serves, so if you live or work in Port Edward you don't have to look further afield for a bin. ## A cannery town that kept working Port Edward grew up around fish. By the early 1960s the area was described as the largest salmon canning centre on the northern coast, and the canneries shaped the town for generations. The North Pacific Cannery, now a National Historic Site and living museum, is the best-known reminder of that era. During the Second World War the US Army built a staging base here, with wharves, rail connections and housing for thousands of troops, and from 1951 a pulp mill on Watson Island was the area's big employer until it closed in 2001. Today transportation and construction drive the local economy. Watson Island is home to a propane export terminal, the harbour is busy with fishing and pleasure boats, and Port Edward sits close to the port activity on Ridley Island. Industrial work of that kind generates a steady volume of waste, from packaging and scrap to material that needs careful handling. ## Bins for Port Edward's industrial and business sites For sites that produce waste week after week, we set up [front-load bins](https://bigdog.canadianwebmaster.ca/services/front-load-bins) in 3, 4 and 6 cubic yard sizes. They can be fitted with casters if the bin needs to move, metal or plastic lids, padlocks or lock bars. For refuse that is contaminated and must stay contained, we offer [sealed containers](https://bigdog.canadianwebmaster.ca/services/sealed-containers). For building and demolition projects, a [construction and demolition bin](https://bigdog.canadianwebmaster.ca/services/construction-demolition-bins) gives the crew one place for debris from start to finish. We also recycle cardboard, wood and steel, which keeps recoverable material out of the garbage. ## Clean-ups and home projects Plenty of our work is residential. Clearing out a house or shed, replacing a roof, tearing off an old deck, or tackling the yard after a winter of storms all produce more than a pickup truck can take in one trip. A [roll-off container](https://bigdog.canadianwebmaster.ca/services/roll-off-containers) from 20 to 40 cubic yards rolls off our truck onto your property and stays while you work. It's open on top and has a back door, so you can walk heavier items in rather than lifting everything over the wall. Port Edward shares the North Coast's wet climate, in a landscape of temperate rainforest: western hemlock, Sitka spruce and western red cedar. Rain is a fact of life for any outdoor project here. A roll-off with a lid keeps water out of the load, and laying plywood under the rollers protects a gravel or paved driveway from the weight of a full container.

An open bin teaches a bear to come back, and on a working site that's a safety problem as well as a mess. Bear-proof lids are available on our front-load bins, and lock bars and padlocks keep a lid shut overnight.
