Rates change — Metro Vancouver raised them twice in 2026. We do not haul drywall or asbestos; those go to specialist facilities. Which facility serves your city, and which of the two schedules applies to it, is listed on the service areas page.
Why the type of junk matters, not just the amount
Metro Vancouver bans a list of materials from general garbage and surcharges any load containing them — for some categories a single item is enough. Sorting before we tip is what keeps a load cheap, and it is part of the job rather than an extra.
Recyclables that can't ride along in the garbage
Most are surcharged above 5% of the load, with all banned materials combined capped at 5%. Food waste is allowed to 25% and expanded polystyrene to 20%, and those two are excluded from the combined total.
Hazardous and operational-impact materials
Surcharged if a single item is found in the load, plus any remediation cost.
Product stewardship materials with their own return programs
Surcharged if a single item is found in the load, plus any remediation cost.
Appliances and end-of-life vehicles are banned from general garbage — and, like scrap metal, are free pickups for us, so they cost you nothing either way.
Moving estimates
Hourly rate: $120–$180/hr for 2 movers + truck — final totals depend on drive time, elevators, flights, and materials.
