How many tonnes does an all-in bin price include around Ottawa?

Published prices from Ottawa bin companies, seen October 2026, put an all-in 14 to 20 yard bin at about $460 to $540 plus tax for about a week, with 1 to 2 tonnes included in that price.

The included tonnes differ from company to company within that range, and one company we read included 1.5 tonnes for its 14 yard bin and 2 tonnes for its 20 yard bin, with a per-tonne charge after that. Another included 1 tonne across its 12 to 20 yard bins. So the number to get in writing is your quote's own figure, not the range.

What happens above the included tonnes is the second number to ask for. Companies on the all-in model bill extra weight per tonne, and the rate is part of the quote.

How much your load weighs depends on what is in it. Heavy material such as soil, concrete and brick usually needs a small or dedicated bin, or a partly filled one, billed by weight, so a load with heavy debris is worth describing to the company before you book.

When you ask for the quote:

• How many tonnes are included, exactly?
• What is the rate for each tonne above that?
• How many days are included, and what does an extra day cost?
• Which items does the company refuse or charge for?

For 30 and 40 yard bins we found too few comparable published prices for a range; ask for a price in both models.
