We help Ottawa homeowners send one bin request to local bin rental companies, see typical bin sizes side by side, and know what the City's street permit, the landfill's refusal list and Ontario's consumer rules mean for a bin.
Renting a bin looks simple until the questions start. A bin on the road, boulevard, sidewalk or a public laneway needs the City of Ottawa's Temporary Construction-related Encroachment (TCE) permit, and the City needs at least 10 business days to process it. The City landfill does not accept asbestos, liquid waste or hazardous waste, and fridges or air conditioners must be tagged before they go. A "20 yard" bin can be short and tall or long and low, depending on the company. These are the questions this site answers, with each rule taken from the City or Ontario law and each size and price from Ottawa bin companies' own published pages.
Some of the answers surprise people. The City accepts TCE applications from residents, contractors or construction companies, so who applies is something to agree in writing. The end of a driveway near the street can be City land. Asbestos never goes in an ordinary bin. And the Consumer Protection Act's 10-day cancellation right applies to agreements made in person away from the company's place of business, not to every booking.
Ottawa Construction Bins is a matching service, not a bin company. We own no bins, deliver nothing, haul nothing and apply for no permits. You tell us what you need, and we send your request to local bin rental companies listed in the Ottawa Construction Network directory. They reply to you by email. We do not screen or verify them, and we say so, which is why every page tells you what to ask yourself.
Pick a size if you know it, where the bin will sit, the drop-off date, how many days and what is going in. No phone number needed.
We send your request to local bin rental companies in the Ottawa Construction Network directory. They reply to you by email with a price and their terms.
Compare the replies line by line: the pricing model, the days and tonnes included, the extra-day price, the refused items, who applies for any street permit and the cancellation terms, all in writing.
This site covers construction and renovation bins: renovation bins, large bins for a big renovation or demolition, small bins for soil, concrete or brick, and bins on the street or a driveway. Junk removal, cleaning and asbestos removal are not part of this site.
A price range appears only where at least two Ottawa bin companies' published prices agree, labelled with the month we saw them. The two pricing models, all-in and bin fee plus weight, are never mixed. Where too few prices are published, such as 30 and 40 yard bins, we say so instead of inventing one.
We explain the protections that matter when you book here: which bookings are direct, remote or internet agreements, the 10-day cancellation right on a direct agreement, and the written copy a booking over $50 for a later date must come with.
Our free knowledge base answers Ottawa bin questions: the City's TCE permit and its fees, driveways and the City right-of-way, what the landfill refuses, typical sizes and what fits, published prices and booking.
The requests we pass on, with the published range or the City fees where one exists:
The bin size Ottawa bin companies' own guides point to for a single-room renovation such as a kitchen or bathroom.
All-in model only: about $460 to $540 plus tax for 14 to 20 yards, about a week, 1 to 2 tonnes included (published prices from Ottawa bin companies, seen October 2026). The bin-fee-plus-weight model is priced separately; never add the two.
The sizes Ottawa bin companies' guides point to for a large renovation or demolition. Too few published prices for a range.
No published range for 30 and 40 yard bins: ask for a price in both models.
Heavy material such as soil, concrete and brick usually needs a small or dedicated bin, billed by weight.
Weight-billed: weight limits and per-tonne rates differ by company.
A bin on the road, boulevard, sidewalk or a public laneway needs the City's Temporary Construction-related Encroachment permit first.
City fees, not a bin price: $101 (10 working days or less) or $998 (longer or renewed), plus rental with a $41 daily minimum. Non-refundable.
A bin on your driveway: the end near the street can be City land, and damage terms are in the contract.
No City permit is named for private land; check where City land ends before the bin is placed.
