Bin rental in Picton & the County.

Our yard is in Picton

Most bin companies serving the County are coming over the bridge or the Skyway from somewhere else. Ours isn't. The Picton yard on Ridge Road is where the County's bins go out from, so a delivery in Picton, Bloomfield or Wellington is a short run, not the far end of a route.

That matters on the island more than most places. The County is spread out, roads are narrow and lanes are long, and when a job runs a day over or a bin needs swapping, it helps to be calling someone who's ten minutes away rather than an hour.

What County jobs tend to be

Prince Edward County work looks different from in town, and the bins follow it.

• Cottage and seasonal openings and closings. Spring clear-outs, end-of-season purges, and the shed nobody has opened in years. Usually an 8 or 14 yard.
• Older home and farmhouse renovations. Plenty of the County's houses have been standing a long time. Plaster, old flooring and layers of shingles add up fast.
• Short-term rental turnovers. Furniture swaps and refits between seasons, often on a schedule set by the next booking.
• Estate, barn and property clear-outs. Whole-property jobs with decades of contents. This is 18 and 20 yard territory, sometimes more than one.
• Contractor and trades work. Builders, roofers and renovators working the County who'd rather have one local number than a new account every job.

Which size for a County job

The 8 yard fits most cottage lanes and a normal driveway and still swallows a garage or a season's worth of clear-out. A kitchen or bathroom gut usually wants the 14. Full-house, farmhouse and estate work goes to the 18 or 20.

The 5 yard is rubble, dirt and fill only, and it's the one people get wrong most often. Concrete, brick, patio stone and soil hit a weight limit long before they fill a big bin, so heavy material gets its own container. Tell us what you're taking out and we'll point you at the right one rather than the biggest one.

Storage containers and flat-deck

If the renovation means the contents of two rooms need somewhere to live for a month, a storage container in the driveway beats renting a unit and moving everything twice. We rent those, and we run flat-deck service when something needs hauling rather than tossing.

Trades and repeat customers

If you're a contractor working the County regularly, it's worth having a conversation rather than booking job by job. We're small enough to be flexible about scheduling and swaps, and we'd rather build a working relationship than process transactions. Call and ask for whatever arrangement makes your jobs easier.
