Quick facts
Halifax's bin-rental market runs from compact 4-yard bins for concrete and soil to 20-, 30- and 40-yard roll-offs for renovations, demolition and cleanouts. As the fastest-growing city in Atlantic Canada, Halifax Regional Municipality pairs older housing stock on the Halifax peninsula (North End, West End) and central Dartmouth — driving steady renovation, roofing and estate-cleanout demand — with a residential construction boom in Bedford, Bedford West, Sackville and Dartmouth Crossing. Government, universities, the port and a large military presence sustain year-round commercial renovation and fit-out work too. Nova Scotia adds HST at 15% on top of base and tipping fees, and operators bill extra weight by the tonne.
A bin on your own driveway or property needs no permit. To place a container on an HRM street or sidewalk, you need a Street/Right-of-Way Encroachment (Street Occupancy) permit under By-law S-300 — a temporary encroachment carries a daily per-square-metre roadway fee plus a Streets & Services occupancy charge ($50 application + $50 occupancy for residential; $100 + $100 for commercial). Many operators arrange this for you. For disposal, the Otter Lake Waste Facility on Otter Lake Drive handles residual garbage, and HRM's construction-and-demolition sites at 16 Mills Drive (Goodwood) and 188 Ross Road (Westphal) take C&D loads.

A dumpster placed entirely on your own property, such as a driveway, needs no permit. To place a container on an HRM street or sidewalk, you need a Street/Right-of-Way Encroachment (Street Occupancy) permit under By-law S-300 — a temporary encroachment carries a daily per-square-metre roadway fee (about $0.30/m² of travelled roadway) plus a Streets & Services occupancy charge ($50 application + $50 occupancy residential; $100 + $100 commercial). Many local operators arrange this for you; confirm current fees with HRM or your operator.
