Quick facts
Tantallon sits about 32 km west of downtown Halifax on St. Margaret's Bay, where St. Margaret's Bay Road (Route 333) meets Hammonds Plains Road (Route 213) and Highway 103, strung along Route 333 for roughly three kilometres. Fishermen settled the bay for its cod more than two centuries ago; it is an unincorporated community today, with planning, services and emergency response delivered directly by Halifax Regional Municipality. Housing runs suburban to rural on large exurban lots — detached homes predominate, with newer subdivision infill around Upper Tantallon next door and older bay-facing properties along the shore. Highway 103's twinning tracks the growth westward: the Exit 5 (Tantallon) to Exit 5A (Ingramport) stretch was twinned between 2018 and 2020, and the Exit 5A to Exit 6 (Hubbards) section opened in July 2024.
Space is rarely the problem here. Exurban lots give a truck room to swing and set down, so the bin goes on private ground and the permit question never comes up; tighter infill near the Route 333 and Route 213 junction is the exception. Disposal is the real constraint — none of the municipality's usual sites is close to the bay. The Otter Lake Waste Facility on Otter Lake Drive is the least-distant option, a genuine drive back along Highway 103 toward the city, and takes residual garbage at $13.55 plus HST per 100 kg, with a $10 flat fee under 100 kg. For most jobs out here one bin on the driveway beats repeat trips in a trailer. Nova Scotia adds HST at 15% on top of base and tipping fees.

Exurban lots mean the bin nearly always sits on private ground, and a container entirely on your own property needs no permit at all. Only the tighter infill streets near the Route 333 and Route 213 junction are likely to force a roadside drop, and that needs HRM's right-of-way permitting for temporary work first — disposal bins in the roadway are an expressly listed case — carrying an encroachment fee under By-law S-300 of about $0.30 per square metre of travelled way plus a $200 permit application fee and a refundable $1,000 security deposit. File it before the truck is booked, or ask your operator to.
Questions
Almost certainly not. On the large lots typical of the St. Margaret's Bay area the bin stands on your own driveway or yard, and a container entirely on private property needs nothing from HRM. It only becomes a question on the tighter infill streets near the Route 333 junction: a bin in the roadway counts as temporary work in the right-of-way, with an encroachment fee under By-law S-300 of about $0.30 per square metre of travelled way plus a $200 application fee and a refundable $1,000 security deposit, filed before delivery.
With room on the lot, a 20- or 30-yard roll-off is usually the efficient call — one bin instead of two, which matters when the nearest disposal site is a drive away. A 14-yard suits a single-room renovation or a roof, and concrete, soil or brick goes in a 4-yard. Check the approach before booking: at least one operator serving the bay asks for roughly 60 feet by 23 feet of clear space to set a bin down.
