How many rental days come with a published Ottawa bin price?

Published Ottawa bin prices are built around roughly a week of rental. That figure appears in both pricing models seen on Ottawa bin company pages in October 2026.

The two models price the week differently, so the number of days matters when you compare quotes.

In the bin fee plus weight model, published prices of about $200 to $350 cover delivery, pickup and about a week, with disposal billed separately at about $150 to $160 per tonne. In the all-in model, published prices of about $460 to $540 plus tax cover a 14 to 20 yard bin for about a week with 1 to 2 tonnes included. Both figures are published Ottawa bin company prices, seen October 2026.

Beyond that week, extra days run about $15 to $35 per day (published Ottawa bin company prices, October 2026). Some companies add a fuel or environmental surcharge, and some add a winter scrape fee for frozen loads.

A few things to pin down before you accept a quote:

• How many calendar days does "about a week" mean in this company's quote, and does the clock start on delivery day or the day after?
• What is the extra-day charge if the bin stays longer?
• In the all-in model, how many tonnes are included, and what is the per-tonne rate above that?
• In the bin fee plus weight model, is there a minimum tonnage charge?

When two quotes land in front of you using different models, the fairest comparison is to give each company the same job description, including the number of days you expect to need and what you plan to put in, then ask for the total in writing under each model so you are reading two complete numbers side by side rather than mixing a flat fee against a per-tonne rate.
