Roll-off containers from 20 to 40 cubic yards for building and demolition sites, with a back door for wheelbarrows. One container does all.

## At a glance

- **Sized for the job**: Roll-offs from 20 to 40 cubic yards, open-top or with a lid.
- **Wheelbarrow-friendly door**: Open the back door and roll heavy debris in instead of lifting it.
- **Wood and steel recycling**: Recycling wood and steel is part of what we do.
- **Commercial and residential**: From a contractor’s site to a homeowner taking down a garage.

Job sites make waste in every form at once: offcuts, packaging, drywall, broken concrete, old fixtures and whatever the demolition crew pulled out that morning. A **construction bin rental** gives all of it one place to go. Big Dog Disposal & Recycling supplies roll-off containers from 20 to 40 cubic yards to construction and demolition sites in Prince Rupert and the surrounding communities, for contractors and for homeowners doing their own demolition.

## One container for the whole site

Our motto is that one container does all. Rather than juggling several small bins, a single roll-off sits where the crew can reach it, and debris from every trade goes in as the work moves along. The open top takes long lumber and awkward pieces, and the back door lets you wheel heavy loads straight in instead of lifting them over the wall. That saves backs, and it saves time on a crew that is paid by the hour.

## Planning where the bin goes

The best spot is decided before the first load, not after. Pick a place the truck can back into in a straight line, clear of overhead wires and away from where materials are being delivered. Keep it close enough to the work that nobody is tempted to start a pile somewhere else, but not so close that it blocks scaffolding, a pump truck or the next delivery. If the only option is a street or boulevard, check with the City before the bin arrives, since placing anything on public property can need permission.

## Choosing a size for building and demolition

Demolition debris is bulky and heavy at the same time. A gutted interior full of drywall, lath and plaster fills volume quickly; a slab of broken concrete or a pile of masonry fills weight long before it fills space. As a rough guide, interior renovation work leans toward the smaller end of our 20 to 40 yard range, while whole-structure demolition and new builds with lots of packaging lean toward the larger end. The [dumpster sizes guide](https://bigdog.canadianwebmaster.ca/guides/dumpster-sizes) has more detail, and we’re happy to talk it through when you call.

## Loading a demolition bin

- **Heavy and flat first.** Concrete, brick and sheet goods go on the floor and spread evenly, not all at one end.
- **Break things down.** Cut long framing, flatten doors and knock apart cabinets so they lie flat instead of tenting over empty space.
- **Fill the gaps.** Smaller debris fills the spaces between big pieces, so you get more into the same container.
- **Stay below the rim.** Material above the walls can fall off in transit and has to be levelled before the bin can leave.

## Wood and steel

Recycling wood and steel is part of what we do, along with cardboard. Clean lumber, pallets and scrap steel are some of the easiest construction materials to keep out of the landfill, especially when they’re not buried under mixed debris. If your job produces a lot of either, mention it when you book so we can talk through the best way to set up your bins.

## Older buildings and hidden hazards

Demolition and renovation work on older buildings can turn up materials that need special handling, such as asbestos in old insulation, flooring or drywall compound, and lead in old paint. In BC, WorkSafeBC expects hazardous materials to be identified before that kind of work begins, and such materials generally can’t go in an ordinary construction bin. If you suspect your debris is contaminated, call us before loading so we can discuss the material and whether a [sealed container](https://bigdog.canadianwebmaster.ca/services/sealed-containers) is an option.

## Keeping the site safe and tidy

A bin on a job site is also a hazard if it is ignored. Keep the area around it clear of nails and offcuts, don’t let anyone climb the walls to stomp a load down, and close the back door securely after each use. For sites that sit empty overnight or over the weekend, a [roll-off with a lid](https://bigdog.canadianwebmaster.ca/services/roll-off-containers) keeps rain out of the load and discourages others from adding their own garbage.

## Questions people ask

### What size bin do I need for a demolition?

Most whole-structure demolitions point toward the larger end of our 20 to 40 yard range, while interior tear-outs often need less. Heavy material such as concrete matters as much as volume, so describe the job and the materials when you call.

### Can I put mixed construction debris in one bin?

That is the idea behind our motto, one container does all. Tell us what is coming off the site when you book, especially anything heavy or possibly contaminated, so we send the right container.

### Can the bin go on the street?

We recommend placing it on private property where possible. If it has to go on a street or boulevard, check with the City beforehand, since placing anything on public property can need permission.

### Do you recycle wood and steel?

Yes. Recycling cardboard, wood and steel is part of our work. Mention it when you book if your job produces a lot of either.

### Are you insured to work on commercial sites?

Yes. Big Dog Disposal & Recycling Ltd is fully licensed and insured.
