Flat-rate bin rental for renovations, cleanouts, roofing tear-offs, and construction debris. Locally owned, fully insured, and serving every neighbourhood from Kanata to Orléans since 2009.
Dumpster Rental Ottawa has been delivering disposal bins across the National Capital Region for more than sixteen years. We started in 2009 with one truck and three bins, working out of a yard near Hunt Club Road, and we've grown alongside the city — through the 2010s housing boom, the Light Rail construction years, and the post-2020 renovation surge that filled every Ottawa driveway with contractors and DIY projects.
We're not a national franchise. There's no corporate dispatcher in another province routing your call. When you phone us, you reach an Ottawa-based team that knows the difference between getting a 20-yard bin into a Glebe laneway and dropping the same bin in a Barrhaven driveway. That local knowledge matters — it's the difference between a smooth delivery and an unhappy neighbour standing in your driveway at 7 a.m.
Our fleet of roll-off trucks covers the full Ottawa-Carleton service area, plus Cumberland, Osgoode, Rideau, Goulbourn, West Carleton, and into Gatineau for commercial accounts. We carry 4-, 6-, 9-, 14-, 15-, 20-, and 30-yard bins so you're never paying for capacity you don't need. And because we operate our own fleet and dispose through City of Ottawa-permitted facilities including the Trail Waste Facility on Trail Road, we control the schedule, the pricing, and the service quality from the first phone call to the empty driveway.
Every bin goes on protective slabs before it touches your asphalt or pavers. Every driver carries the relevant municipal permits. And every quote is flat-rate, all-inclusive, with no fuel surcharges, no environmental fees, and no surprises on the invoice.
Same-day delivery we actually deliver on, flat pricing that doesn't grow at pickup, and a dispatcher who picks up the phone in English or French.
Order a bin before 2 p.m. on a weekday and it's in your driveway the same afternoon. We hold three trucks back from scheduled routes every day specifically for same-day calls — a guarantee most operators won't make because they can't keep it. Saturday delivery is available with Friday booking.
The price we quote is the price you pay. That price includes delivery, the rental period (up to 7 days standard, longer terms available), pickup, disposal at a City-approved facility, and HST. We do not charge fuel surcharges. We do not charge environmental fees. We do not add 17% to the total at pickup like some Ottawa operators do.
Every bin is placed on pressure-treated lumber slabs before it touches your driveway. Asphalt cracks under point loads from a loaded roll-off, and we've seen too many bad pickups from operators who skip this step. The lumber goes down free, every time, including on interlock and stamped concrete.
If your project needs the bin on the street, we'll tell you before delivery — and we'll walk you through the City of Ottawa's Temporary Consideration Parking Permit application (administered through MyServiceOttawa) or the Encroachment Permit process (613-580-2424 ext. 16000) depending on your situation. Most Ottawa drivers don't know these rules and let homeowners learn the hard way through a $200 bylaw fine.
Our dispatchers are fluent in both English and French. If you're calling from Orléans, Vanier, Cumberland, or anywhere east of the Rideau River, you can place your order in French and we'll handle the rest in French — including the invoice.
We've earned 4.9 stars across 280+ Google reviews because we take customer service personally. When something goes wrong — a delayed truck, a placement misunderstanding, a tonnage dispute — the owner calls you back, not a chatbot. That's an Ottawa-sized accountability our national-chain competitors structurally cannot offer.
Seven sizes so you're never paying for empty air or overflowing a bin that was too small. Residential flat-rate pricing — 7-day rental, delivery, pickup, and disposal included.
Designed exclusively for clean fill — concrete, brick, asphalt, dirt, rock, sod. The compact footprint fits in single-car driveways and tight laneway placements common in Centretown, Hintonburg, and Old Ottawa South. Not suitable for mixed renovation debris or household garbage.
The most popular size for garage cleanouts, basement decluttering, and small-bathroom renovations. Walk-in barn doors at the rear make loading drywall sheets and old vanities straightforward. Includes 1 tonne (1,000 kg) of disposal weight.
Our most-requested size for kitchen renos, basement finishing, and mid-sized cleanouts. Tall walls accommodate tear-out cabinets and large appliances. Includes 1.5 tonnes of mixed renovation waste.
The Goldilocks size — big enough for whole-floor renovations and roofing jobs up to 30 squares, small enough to fit a standard suburban driveway in Barrhaven, Kanata, or Stittsville. Includes 2 tonnes.
Slightly taller walls than the 14-yard for bulkier loads — large furniture, mattresses, large quantities of construction lumber. Includes 2.5 tonnes.
Lower side walls make loading from any side easier than the taller 30-yard. Ottawa's most popular size for full home renovations and large construction projects. Includes 3 tonnes.
Designed for construction sites and large demolition projects. Requires sufficient driveway depth and overhead clearance — we'll confirm site fit by phone before dispatch. Loaded through rear barn doors. Includes 4 tonnes.
Restaurants, retail, property management companies, and construction GCs across Ottawa rely on us for scheduled bin swaps. Volume-tiered contract rates, dedicated dispatch line, and weight-ticket reporting for every haul. Ask for our commercial rate sheet.
Don't want to load the bin yourself? Our full-service junk removal team comes to your property, loads the truck for you, and leaves with the junk — no bin in the driveway, no heavy lifting on your end. Priced by volume on the truck. Ideal for senior downsizing, estate clearings, and post-move cleanouts.
All prices residential flat-rate for the Ottawa core service area. Plus HST. Includes delivery, 7-day rental, pickup, and disposal up to the listed weight. Overweight tonnage $115/tonne pro-rated. Extra days $25/day.
Call our dispatcher with what you're working on — kitchen reno, roof tear-off, basement cleanout — and we'll match the size before you book. Wrong-size bins cost more than the call.

The City of Ottawa's main landfill at 4475 Trail Road accepts public drop-offs Monday through Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. — closed Sundays. If you work weekdays and your demolition produces three pickup-loads of debris, you have one weekend window to dispose of it. Renting a bin lets the waste leave your driveway when you're done with the job, not when the landfill is open.
Trail Road charges $228 per tonne for unsorted mixed loads, versus reduced rates for separated yard waste, clean wood, and clean fill. A renovation that produces drywall, lumber, old shingles, and broken tile sorts poorly under a tarp in the back of a pickup. In a bin, separation isn't required because we handle disposal routing — we route mixed renovation debris to facilities that accept it without surcharge.
City curbside pickup allows residents up to six items per collection day, with strict rules about what counts. A finished basement teardown produces dozens of items. Renovation debris is explicitly excluded from curbside collection. A bin solves the problem in one drop and one pickup.
A loaded 20-yard bin weighs 4–6 tonnes. Set directly on summer asphalt or stamped concrete, that weight imprints permanent damage. Our drivers place pressure-treated lumber slabs under every bin, every time. We've seen the damage from operators who don't — and we've seen the repair invoices that follow.
If your bin sits entirely on your driveway, you don't need a permit. If any portion overhangs the City sidewalk or the road right-of-way, you need either a Temporary Consideration Parking Permit (for residential driveway displacement) or an Encroachment Permit (for road occupancy) from the City of Ottawa. Most homeowners don't know the difference. We do, and we'll route the application before delivery.
Paint, propane tanks, motor oil, car batteries, asbestos, freon-containing appliances, tires, electronics, and biomedical waste are all prohibited under City of Ottawa and Trail Waste Facility rules. Throwing them in a bin triggers contamination fees of $150–$500 and possible regulatory exposure. We tell you upfront what can't go in, and we'll direct you to the City's Hazardous Waste Depot at the Trail Road facility for the items that need special handling.
The bins look the same on the outside. What's different is who picks up the phone and what happens when something goes sideways.
No deposits for residential under $1,000. No surprise invoicing. A real Ottawa dispatcher books the delivery, a real driver places the bin, and a real weight ticket comes with your final invoice.
Tell us what you're working on, where you live, and your preferred drop-off date. We'll recommend the right bin size, confirm the price, and book the delivery window. No deposit required for residential under $1,000 — we run the card the morning of delivery.
Our driver arrives in the booked window, places the bin where you've directed (on lumber slabs if it's touching your driveway), confirms the orientation of the rear doors for easy loading, and texts you a photo when placement is done. Most residential drops take under 15 minutes from arrival to driveaway.
You have 7 days standard to fill the bin. Load to the wall height — not above it (overfilled bins cannot be transported under Ontario Highway Traffic Act rules and trigger a return trip fee). If you finish early, call for early pickup; if you need more time, $25 per extra day.
Phone or text when you're done loading. Same-day pickup if you call before 11 a.m.; otherwise next business day. We weigh the load at the disposal facility, route the waste appropriately, and email your final invoice with the weight ticket attached. Overweight charges (if any) are clearly itemized — no surprise fees.
Same-day delivery available across the entire Ottawa-Carleton service area. Overnight delivery to outlying communities when you book by 4 p.m. the day before. Travel charges apply outside the Ottawa core and are quoted upfront.
City of Ottawa permit rules, Trail Waste Facility tipping fees, prohibited items, freeze-thaw cycles, heritage districts — the local context that turns a routine bin rental into a smooth project.
The City of Ottawa has comparatively relaxed rules for bins placed entirely on private property. If your bin fits in your driveway without overhanging the sidewalk or roadway, you don't need a permit. This covers the majority of suburban Ottawa — Kanata, Barrhaven, Orléans, Stittsville, and most of Nepean have driveways deep enough for a 20-yard bin with room to spare.
The complication is downtown. Centretown, Sandy Hill, Lower Town, Hintonburg, and large portions of the Glebe have row houses with no driveway, or driveways too short for a 14-yard bin. For these projects, the bin must occupy a street parking space or the road right-of-way, and that triggers permit requirements.
The City of Ottawa's Temporary Consideration Parking Permit provides short-term on-street parking privileges under special circumstances — explicitly including situations where a garbage dumpster occupies a property's parking space.
Applications are submitted through MyServiceOttawa with a valid login. This is the lighter-touch permit appropriate for homeowner renovation projects. We'll walk you through the application as part of booking.
Contractors and moving companies whose bins occupy City streets need an Encroachment Permit administered through the City at 613-580-2424 ext. 16000. This permit covers the use of City streets for the operation or parking of vehicles or equipment by contractors — including roll-off dumpsters on commercial jobs.
The Trail Waste Facility at 4475 Trail Road (off Moodie Drive, south of Fallowfield) is the City of Ottawa's main landfill and the disposal endpoint for the majority of Ottawa's mixed renovation waste. Hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. The facility accepts only non-hazardous waste generated within the geographic boundaries of the City of Ottawa, requires CSA-certified green patch footwear and hi-visibility clothing at main tipping areas, and charges $228 per tonne for unsorted mixed loads.
Critically, the Trail Road landfill is expected to reach capacity around 2036 — more than a decade earlier than originally projected. The City has implemented diversion strategies and is actively reviewing tipping fees to discourage difficult-to-compact items. For commercial loads and tonnage-sensitive projects, we route through alternative permitted facilities including Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre at 106 Westhunt Drive in Carp (613-836-6069), the Waste Management West Carleton Environmental Centre at 2301 Carp Road (613-831-3562), and Waste Connections of Canada at 3354 Navan Road (613-824-7289). Each facility has its own accepted-materials list — we route your specific load to the right facility, which keeps your tonnage cost down.
The following items are prohibited from disposal bins under both City of Ottawa solid waste regulations and our terms of service:
If you're not sure whether an item qualifies, call before you toss it in. A two-minute phone call saves a $150 contamination fee at the scale house.
Ottawa averages 47 freeze-thaw cycles per year, more than almost any major North American city. That matters for winter bin rentals in two ways. First, frozen content sticks to the bin floor — drywall, soil, snow-mixed renovation debris become a single block by morning, which means manual chipping at the disposal site and possible overweight charges. Second, freezing rain laminates everything into ice, raising tonnage on what should be a light load.
Our winter rate sheet (December through March) includes an extra day in the standard term for free, which gives you room to schedule pickup around the forecast.
Properties in Ottawa's heritage conservation districts — Lowertown West, Centretown Heritage Conservation District, the Glebe, Rockcliffe Park — sometimes have additional placement constraints under the Ontario Heritage Act, particularly around visible facades and front-yard placement during weekday rush hours.
We handle the placement coordination if your property is heritage-designated; just let us know when booking.
All flat rates published on this page apply to the Ottawa core service area. Outlying communities (Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Renfrew, Pembroke, Gatineau commercial) carry travel charges of $80–$175 depending on distance, quoted upfront before booking. Heavier-than-included loads bill at $115 per tonne pro-rated against the disposal facility's scale ticket — every overweight charge comes with the actual weight slip attached to the final invoice. Extra rental days are $25 per day.

When a Kanata homeowner calls about a basement-reno bin, we already know roughly what their driveway looks like — we've delivered to dozens of homes on the same street. We know the standard subdivision rules about Saturday-morning truck noise. We know whether the project they're describing will overfill a 14-yard. Local accumulated expertise translates directly into fewer surprises on your invoice.
Driveway protection, bilingual dispatch, swap-outs within 24 hours, weight tickets attached to every invoice — six reasons our customers keep coming back.
"Booked a 14-yard for our kitchen reno on a Tuesday morning, bin showed up by 2 p.m. the same afternoon. The driver took time to position the doors facing the garage so I wasn't carrying drywall across the lawn. When the bin was almost full and I wasn't quite done, they swapped it for an empty one within 24 hours for a fair price. Easy from start to finish."Marc D. Orléans (Avalon)
"We have a narrow driveway and a stamped concrete walkway, and I was nervous about damage. The crew put down lumber slabs without me even asking. The bin sat there for five days, came and went without a scratch. Final invoice was within $10 of the quote. Recommend to anyone in the Glebe / Old Ottawa South area who's stressing about driveway damage."Jennifer C. Old Ottawa South
"J'ai apprécié pouvoir faire toute la commande en français. La répartitrice connaissait bien la différence entre les permis de la Ville et m'a aidé à comprendre que je n'avais pas besoin de permis parce que la benne tenait dans l'entrée. Livraison rapide, facture claire. Je vais les recommander à mes voisins."Sébastien L. Vanier
"I've run my own framing crew for 11 years and I've burned through every bin rental company in Ottawa at one point or another. These guys are the ones I've stayed with. Bins show up when they say, swaps happen within 24 hours, weight tickets come with the invoice every time. No fuel surcharge games, no environmental fee nonsense. Just a price and a delivery."Doug P. Stittsville · Residential contractor
"Cleaned out my late father's home for an estate sale. The full-service junk removal team showed up with a five-person crew, handled the heavy lifting on a sixteen-year-old hide-a-bed and a piano I never wanted to see again. They were respectful, fast, and the dispatcher checked in by phone partway through. This is the call to make when you're dealing with grief and clutter at the same time."Priya K. Barrhaven (Half Moon Bay)
"Did a full roof tear-off on a two-storey house. Ordered a 20-yard, it was the right call — about 80% full when I dropped the last bundle in. Driver mentioned during placement that I'd probably want it angled slightly so the runoff didn't pool against the garage door. Small thing, but I would never have thought of it. Saved me a wet weekend."Chris B. Kanata North (Beaverbrook)

Dumpster rental in Ottawa typically costs between $385 and $1,095 plus HST, depending on bin size and included tonnage. A residential 9-yard renovation bin starts at $525 with 1.5 tonnes included; a 20-yard bin for a full-home renovation starts at $795 with 3 tonnes included. Our flat rates include delivery, 7-day rental, pickup, and disposal — no fuel or environmental surcharges.
No. If your bin sits entirely on private property (your driveway), the City of Ottawa does not require a permit. Permits are only needed if any portion of the bin overhangs the sidewalk, roadway, or other public right-of-way. We confirm placement during booking and flag any permit need before delivery.
We offer same-day delivery on orders placed before 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Saturday delivery is available on Friday bookings. For Sunday or after-hours delivery, give us a call — we can accommodate special requests with advance notice.
Most Ottawa kitchen renovations fit comfortably in a 9-yard or 14-yard bin. A standard cabinet-and-flooring tear-out with no structural work fits a 9-yard. If you're including drywall, ceiling, and significant lumber waste, step up to a 14-yard. Call us with your scope of work and we'll recommend the right size.
Standard renovation and household waste — drywall, lumber, flooring, old furniture, cabinets, fixtures, shingles, yard waste, general garbage. Heavy materials like concrete, brick, and dirt go in dedicated clean-fill bins. Prohibited items include hazardous waste, tires, propane tanks, freon appliances, asbestos, biomedical waste, and electronics — see our full prohibited list in the Ottawa Bin Rental Guide above.
Standard residential rental is 7 days. If you need more time, additional days are billed at $25/day. For long-term commercial accounts and construction sites, we offer 14-day, 30-day, and ongoing scheduled-swap arrangements. Bins on long-term rentals must be rotated at least once every 30 days for safety and inspection.
Not if placed properly. Every bin we deliver goes on pressure-treated lumber slabs before it touches your asphalt, concrete, or interlock — no exceptions, and no extra charge. We've placed bins on every type of Ottawa driveway, from gravel to stamped concrete, without damage.
We serve the entire City of Ottawa, including Kanata, Stittsville, Barrhaven, Orléans, Cumberland, Nepean, Vanier, and all rural townships (Osgoode, Goulbourn, Rideau, West Carleton). We also serve commercial accounts in Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Almonte, Arnprior, Renfrew, Embrun, Russell, Rockland, and Gatineau.
Overweight tonnage is billed at $115 per tonne, pro-rated to the actual weight on the disposal facility's scale ticket. You receive a copy of the weight ticket with your final invoice. There are no other hidden weight-related charges, and we'll warn you during booking if the materials you're describing will likely exceed the included tonnage.
Yes — concrete, brick, asphalt, dirt, sod, and clean rock all go in our 4-yard or 6-yard clean-fill bins. Heavy materials cannot be mixed with general renovation debris because the disposal route is different, so a separate clean-fill bin is required for these loads. Mixing heavy fill with regular waste triggers a contamination surcharge.
Yes. Our full-service junk removal is priced by truck volume — ¼-truck loads start at $185, full truck loads at $595. The crew comes to your property, loads everything you point at, and leaves with the junk. Ideal for estate cleanouts, senior downsizing, and post-move clearing where you don't want to handle heavy items yourself.
A 14-yard bin holds about 7 pickup-truck loads (roughly 2 tonnes of mixed renovation waste). A 20-yard holds about 10 pickup-truck loads (roughly 3 tonnes). The 14-yard fits a standard suburban driveway in Barrhaven, Kanata, or Stittsville without taking the whole space; the 20-yard needs a longer driveway or a placement plan. When in doubt, size up — overflow trips are more expensive than the price difference.
Only with a City of Ottawa permit. Bins on public streets require either a Temporary Consideration Parking Permit (residential, applied through MyServiceOttawa) or an Encroachment Permit (commercial, through 613-580-2424 ext. 16000). For row houses and narrow driveways in heritage districts, we handle the permit coordination as part of our service.
Yes. We carry $5,000,000 Commercial General Liability insurance, full commercial auto coverage on every truck, and maintain an active WSIB account in good standing. Our drivers hold valid Class D licences with air-brake endorsements. Clearance Certificates and insurance certificates are available on request for contractor and commercial accounts.
No. The price we quote is the price you pay (plus HST). We do not add fuel surcharges, environmental fees, administrative fees, or other line items at pickup. Some Ottawa competitors quote a low base rate and add 17–25% in surcharges on the final invoice — we don't operate that way.
Same-day delivery on orders placed before 2 p.m. weekdays. Saturday delivery with Friday booking. Bilingual dispatch, flat-rate pricing, and full insurance on every load.
If your bin doesn't arrive in the booked window, your delivery is free. If we damage your driveway through improper placement, we cover the repair. If your invoice surprises you with an undisclosed fee, we remove it.
