Container Options for Scheduled Service
We match the right container to your waste volume so you are never paying for space you do not need.
Standard Collection Container
Our 12-yard container is the most popular choice for residential waste collection and small commercial accounts. It fits in a standard driveway or parking spot and holds roughly the equivalent of six pickup truck loads. Dimensions are approximately 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4 feet tall. This size works well for weekly household waste, small restaurant output, and office buildings with fewer than 50 employees.
Large Volume Container
The 20-yard container serves high-output commercial clients and multi-unit residential properties. It handles approximately ten pickup truck loads of waste and measures roughly 22 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall. Ideal for grocery stores, large restaurants, apartment complexes, and warehouse operations that generate heavy weekly waste. If you need even larger capacity for a specific project, ask about our dumpster rental Calgary options.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions About Waste Collection in Calgary
What is the difference between waste collection and junk removal?
Waste collection is a scheduled, recurring service where we pick up waste from your property on a set day each week or month. Junk removal is a one-time service where a crew comes to haul away a specific pile of items. If you have ongoing waste needs, collection is the better fit. For a single cleanout or declutter project, one-time junk removal makes more sense. Many of our clients use both services depending on the situation.
Do you offer scheduled or recurring waste collection?
Yes, scheduled and recurring collection is the core of what we do. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, and custom pickup schedules for both residential and commercial properties in Calgary. You pick the frequency that matches your waste volume, and we show up on the same day every cycle. There are no long-term contracts required, and you can adjust your schedule anytime with 48 hours notice.
What types of waste do you collect in Calgary?
We collect most general household and commercial waste including kitchen waste, furniture, yard debris, office materials, renovation scraps, and restaurant output. We do not accept hazardous chemicals, asbestos, medical waste, or pressurized tanks in our standard containers.
