For a contractor, waste is a schedule problem as much as a cost problem. A bin that shows up late, gets picked up slow, or costs more than it should slows the whole job. Base Bins works with Ottawa trades, builders, and roofers to keep job sites clear, with contractor pricing, priority scheduling, and regular pickups for ongoing work. Here is how it works and how to pick the right setup for your sites.

Does Base Bins offer contractor pricing?

Yes. General contractors, roofers, and builders use Base Bins for ongoing waste management, and there is dedicated contractor pricing along with priority scheduling for job sites. If you are running jobs regularly rather than renting a one-off bin, call and ask about contractor pricing so your rate reflects the volume you do. The commercial services page covers this side of the business.

Can you get regular pickups for ongoing projects?

Yes. For jobs that generate debris week after week, Base Bins can set up regular pickup schedules for ongoing projects, so you are not calling to book every single haul. Priority scheduling means your job sites get serviced on time, which keeps crews working instead of working around a full bin. Tell us your project timeline and we will match a pickup rhythm to it.

What bin size do contractors need?

It depends on the trade and the volume of the job. The three sizes cover most site needs:

  • 8-yard bin: compact and low-profile, good for small renovations, bathroom and kitchen gut-outs, and tight urban job sites or shared driveways where space is limited. Also well suited to heavy, dense material loaded low.
  • 15-yard bin: the workhorse for most renovation and demolition jobs, full roof tear-offs, and larger deck and fence demolitions.
  • 30-yard bin: the largest, for major renovations and fit-outs, large roof tear-offs, big demolition, and bulky, lightweight construction waste.

Rental periods run 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day, and the 8 and 15-yard bins are $240, $260, and $300 for those windows. The 30-yard is $350 for a 1-day rental, with additional days on request. If you are unsure which size fits a job, our bin size guide breaks it down.

How does disposal billing work for construction debris?

Disposal is billed by the actual scale weight of the load at $145 per ton, passed through at cost with the weight documentation. There is no bundled markup, so you only pay for what the load actually weighs. That matters on construction jobs where weight is unpredictable. For dense material like concrete, brick, and asphalt, keep it in a smaller bin loaded low, and ask about a clean fill bin, which is set up for heavy inert material and may qualify for special pricing on clean-fill-only loads.

What can go in a job-site bin?

Base Bins bins take standard construction and demolition debris: wood scraps and lumber, drywall and plaster, concrete and brick, metal and steel, packaging, old fixtures, roofing and shingles, flooring, and general site waste. A few things need to stay out or get special handling, including hazardous materials, paint, propane, and similar items. Before loading, your crew can check the allowed waste list and our guide on what can't go in a dumpster so nothing triggers a re-handling issue.

Which trades use Base Bins?

The service is built for the trades that generate steady debris:

  • General contractors running renovations and builds.
  • Roofers needing a bin staged for tear-offs (see our roofing debris guide).
  • Builders on new construction and additions.
