What permit do I need to place a bin on a Delta road?

Delta calls this a Highway Use Permit (HUP), and it explicitly covers storage bin placement on roadways, alongside driveway and boulevard work. You need one whenever the dumpster sits within the road dedication rather than entirely on private land.

How much does a Highway Use Permit cost in Delta?

The city does not post a flat fee on its main permit page; applicable charges are listed on the second page of the HUP application form. Call Delta Engineering at 604-946-3260 to confirm the current amount, or have your dumpstore vendor sort it out.

Where do Delta-area dumpsters get emptied?

Haulers serving Delta commonly use the Central Surrey Recycling and Waste Centre at 6711–154 Street, the closest Metro Vancouver public drop-off facility, rather than crossing back toward Vancouver.

What materials are banned from a rented dumpster in Delta?

Metro Vancouver's regional ban list applies here: asbestos, batteries, electronics, hazardous waste, paint, tires, mattresses, and propane tanks are all rejected in a standard load and can trigger a surcharge if found mixed in.

Is dumpster rental pricing in Delta a flat rate?

No — most Delta listings on dumpstore are quote-based. Bin size, how long you keep it, and what you are throwing out all shift the price, so expect a tailored number rather than a posted rate.

Does GST apply to a Delta dumpster rental?

Yes, 5% GST applies on top of the quoted rental price; BC does not charge PST on most waste-hauling services, so that is typically the only tax line you will see.

Your complete guide to dumpster rental in Delta

Two things shape a Delta dumpster rental: whether the city's Highway Use Permit applies to your drop-off spot, and which Metro Vancouver facility your hauler routes the waste to. Here is the breakdown before you book.

Highway Use Permit basics

Delta requires a Highway Use Permit (HUP) for any work within the road dedication, and storage bin placement on roadways is named directly on the city's permit page alongside driveway construction and boulevard alterations. The fee schedule sits inside the HUP application form rather than the main page, so confirm the current cost with Delta Engineering (604-946-3260 or engineering@delta.ca) before assuming a number.

Nearest disposal facility

Delta haulers typically send loads to the Central Surrey Recycling and Waste Centre at 6711–154 Street, Surrey, the closest Metro Vancouver public recycling and waste centre for this part of the region. Standard municipal garbage runs about $148 per tonne, while mixed construction and household debris follows a tiered scale — roughly $182 per tonne under one tonne, $162 per tonne up to eight tonnes, and $136 per tonne above that, plus a $5 per-load transaction charge.

Prohibited and hazardous materials

Metro Vancouver's disposal ban program blocks asbestos, hazardous waste, gypsum, and flammable materials on operational grounds, and separately bans product-stewardship items such as batteries, tires, paint, electronics, and pharmaceuticals because dedicated recycling programs already exist for them. Loads carrying banned hazardous material face a minimum $80 surcharge plus removal costs.

Recycling before disposal

Beverage containers, cardboard, glass and metal containers, food waste, and yard trimmings are considered banned recyclables at Metro Vancouver facilities specifically because region-wide recycling options already cover them — routing these separately keeps your dumpster load lighter and avoids the 50% surcharge applied to recyclable material found in a garbage load.

Getting an accurate Delta quote

Since both Delta haulers on dumpstore price jobs individually, give them the neighbourhood (Ladner, Tsawwassen, or North Delta), the debris type, and whether the bin needs to sit on the road so the quote reflects both permit handling and the Central Surrey drop-off distance.

dumpstore's top tips for renting in Delta

Avoid surprises with quick tips our haulers wish every customer knew.

Ask your vendor early whether your delivery spot needs a Highway Use Permit — anything sitting even partly on the road allowance in Delta requires one.

Pull out batteries, electronics, paint, and propane tanks before the bin shows up, since these are banned at Metro Vancouver facilities and can add a surcharge to your invoice.

Mention Ladner, Tsawwassen, or North Delta specifically in your request — access and truck routing can differ enough across Delta's three main areas to affect the quote.
