Understanding Your Waste Disposal Needs
Types of Waste Accepted
Before renting a bin, it’s important to know what types of waste you can dispose of. Garbutt Disposal accepts a variety of waste types, including household junk, construction debris, and yard waste. However, hazardous materials like chemicals and batteries are not allowed.
Estimating the Volume of Waste
To choose the right bin size, you need to estimate how much waste you have. A good rule of thumb is to consider the size of your project. For example:
- Small projects (like a garage cleanout) might need a 10-yard bin.
- Medium projects (like a small renovation) could require a 20-yard bin.
- Large projects (like major construction) may need a 30-yard or larger bin.
Special Disposal Requirements
Some items need special disposal methods. Electronics, appliances, and tires often have specific rules. Make sure to check local regulations and consult with Garbutt Disposal if you’re unsure. This will help you avoid extra fees and ensure safe disposal.
Properly understanding your waste disposal needs can save you time and money, and make the entire process smoother.

Preparing for Bin Delivery
Selecting a Drop-off Location
Choosing the right spot for your bin is crucial. Make sure the area is flat and solid to support the weight of the bin. Avoid placing it on soft ground like grass or dirt, which can cause the bin to sink or tip over.
Ensuring Accessibility
The delivery truck needs enough space to drop off the bin. Clear any obstacles like cars, bikes, or trash cans from the area. A good rule of thumb is to have at least 10 feet of clearance around the drop-off spot.
Safety Precautions
Safety should always come first. Keep children and pets away from the delivery area. If possible, mark the spot with cones or signs to alert others. This helps prevent accidents and ensures a smooth delivery process.
Preparing for bin delivery is a key step in the rental process. Taking the time to select the right location, ensure accessibility, and follow safety precautions will make the entire experience smoother and more efficient.
