Dumpster Rental in Halifax
Made Simple.

HRM's Streets and Services Permits page names disposal bins in the roadway directly as an example of equipment requiring a Temporary Work permit, alongside scaffolding, mobile cranes, and construction fencing. Depending on whether you already hold an open building permit, you'll apply for either a Development-Right-of-Way (DEV-ROW) or Right-of-Way (TPW-ROW) permit, and either route calls for a $200 application fee plus a $1,000 performance security deposit, refunded once a municipal inspector signs off. A licensed, HRM-approved right-of-way contractor has to be listed on the application.

Otter Lake, HRM's landfill at 600 Otter Lake Drive in Lakeside, does not accept construction and demolition debris — that includes lumber, old roofing, gyproc, and concrete. Instead, C&D material is directed to licensed private facilities, with Halifax C&D Recycling Ltd operating locations at 16 Mills Drive in Goodwood and 188 Ross Road in Westphal. Otter Lake's own garbage tipping fee runs $13.55 (plus HST) per 100 kilograms, with a $10 flat minimum for loads under that weight, for material that does belong there.
