Can I Place My Garbage Bin Rental on the Road?

So, you’re beginning a construction/renovation project and you have a garbage bin rental. Maybe you’re just performing a thorough home/garage clean and are using it for that. Maybe it is something completely different. 

Regardless of your reasoning, we here at Cube Bin Rentals know more than anyone the benefits that come with this type of rental. Even so, there are certain ways to go about this rental, and that includes garbage bin placement. To learn about whether or not you can place your garbage bin rental on the street, check out the information we have come up with below.  

The Simple Answer 

When you live in a residential area with a bunch of different homes closely packed together, property space is minimal. In many cases, even driveways do not become a viable option for garbage bin placement, as you will already have cars filling up that space. 

When you want to place your garbage bin onto the street so you have more space for your property, you will need to obtain a permit to do so. Whether you get approved or not will heavily depend on the municipality you live in. If you want to rent a garbage bin but do not wish to go through the process of obtaining a permit, placing a bin on your property avoids all of this extra work. While it may be an eyesore at the moment, once the rental is completed, it can just as easily be removed. 

Will I Get Approved or Denied? 

There are a number of different factors that will go into determining whether or not your situation will be able to receive a permit or not. Wherever you live will have different codes, regulations and restrictions when it comes to this type of bin placement. Luckily, our team has done a quick scan of some of the most popular places in the GTA and whether or not they allow this type of bin rental on the street: 

• Newmarket: While you are not allowed to place your bin on the street, you can receive a parking exemption that will allow you to park your car on the street with no risk of tickets/towing, giving you the chance to place your bin on your driveway.  
• Toronto: As Toronto is a big city and certain areas will vary in regards to their answer, most places will require a permit. Once the permit is obtained, you can place your bin on the street. 
• Aurora: Similar to Newmarket, Aurora offers up to twelve parking passes per car so you can place your bin on your driveway and put your cars on the road. 

Weather Permitting 

Another factor that affects the permission to place your bin on the street includes weather. During the months of November to April, neither cars nor garbage bins are allowed on the street as snow plows and salt trucks need to navigate residential roads safely. If you are going through with a renovation project and you know there will be a lot of waste, we highly advise you to perform this project during the spring/summer months so you don’t run into any conflict with your garbage bin rental.
