Bye Bye Junk (BBJ)  is one of the companies in Edmonton that you can go for if you need to rent dumpsters. It has been operating for seven years, giving us enough confidence that it has been providing satisfactory services to its clients.

Apart from dumpster rentals, BBJ is also available for junk removal. But apart from that, what stood out for us was its tree and hedge pruning services, as similar companies do not have this particular service.

BBJ has three branches spread throughout the city. It is a pro in our book, as clients can conveniently choose the nearest office based on their area, giving them quicker customer service.

Meanwhile, its dumpsters have three sizes: 12 yds, 15 yds, and 20 yds, which you can rent for $259, $279, and $329 plus GST, respectively. For its surcharge, BBJ charges an additional $55 per ½ ton of garbage.

We also want to share that BBJ has the cheapest base rate and additional fee compared to the companies we reviewed. 

Aside from pocket-friendly rates, its customers are satisfied with it. These clients praise BBJ’s staff for being responsive, friendly, and punctual.

However, we spotted a few complaints of customers receiving incorrect quotations once after the job. Although rare, we think BBJ is commendable for responding to these complaints and providing a thorough explanation and resolution.

Using ordinary bins for disposing of roof shingles and concrete is not advisable as it may cause loading problems. And if you find yourself in this scenario, lucky you, as Save On Bins Inc. (SOB) is here to help.

Among the dumpster rentals in Edmonton, SOB is the only one with dumpsters specially made for collecting large quantities of shingles and small concrete. We think these can come in handy for repairing roofs or driveways.

Moreover, SOB has 12 yds, 15 yds, and 20 yds of dumpsters in store, which are separately available for $355, $375, and $415 plus GST. 

Meanwhile, SOB’s rental rate is pricier than others because clients can rent the dumpsters for up to seven days, which is longer than most companies. We think this feature is handy for projects with lingerie schedules.

SOB has been in dumpster rental services since 2007. In our books, a company with over a decade of operation is a positive sign that it has satisfied its clients consistently.

Most of its patrons we spoke with are satisfied with its customer service, which they describe as punctual, responsive, and accommodating. 

For instance, one even remembered how the staff quickly accepted their short-notice request for dumpsters on a late weekend night.

However, SOB has some shortcomings–it does not offer junk removal. With the lack of it, clients may have to dispose of their garbage by themselves or hire another contractor to do the job. 

Although it is only a minor detail, we feel the absence of that feature can make things less convenient for clients.

Mr. Bins Dumpster Rental (MBDR) is a garbage hauler company that Edmontonians can go to should they need to rent dumpsters. Operating for 12 years since it started in 2007, its lines are open for 12 hours a day every week.

Meanwhile, MBDR’s dumpster sizes range are 12 yds, 15 yds, and 20 yds. Upon close inspection, we found that each cost $300, $350, and $400 plus GST, respectively.

On the same note, we think it is worth sharing that MBDR’s surcharge is worth $15 for an extra day of dumpster rental, while $89 per ton of additional weight.

And similar to Save On Bins Inc., MBDR can also provide shingle bins for clients renovating or remodelling their roofs.

Although its repertoire is nothing unusual, the three days standard rent duration that MBDR offers is what we think is its edge. Clients who need dumpsters for a few days, such as those that do general cleaning, may see this offer as a win-win.

However, MBDR falls short of being unable to provide junk removal services. For us, the lack of the said feature significantly affects the convenience that clients can potentially get.

Nevertheless, MBDR has consistently satisfied its clients because of its punctuality and speedy response to immediate orders. Also, we found positive comments on how the staff is hands-on with their requests about pick-up and drop-off locations.

Younger companies can always offer something on the table. And if you prefer supporting budding businesses, perhaps Oil City Bins Inc. (OIB) is a perfect partner for renting dumpsters.

Like most dumpster rental companies, you can choose from the three dumpster sizes that OIB has. For $279, $309, and $339–which we think is not relatively costly–you can rent its 12 yd, 15 yd, and 20 yd dumpsters, respectively.

On the same note, should you need more time to take care of your disposables, OIB charges an additional $10 for its dumpsters and $89 for each extra ton.

Aside from cheap and upfront pricing, the customers of OIB that we spoke with are satisfied with how timely and courteous its staff were. Many who ordered a next-day drop-off were surprised that they accommodated them quickly.

But despite those praises, we noted that OIB has a few cons. We found a few instances wherein its staff had miscommunications with customers, resulting in mistakes in dumpster drop-off dates.

Meanwhile, OIB started operating in 2017, making them younger than other dumpster rental companies. But despite that, we find it remarkable that it is one of the few in its league with an A+ rating from Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Having more than the usual number of options with dumpsters is always a good thing. And if that is what you are looking for in your dumpster rental contractor, we think Ecobins Inc. would be a perfect fit for you.

Like Oil City Bins, Ecobins is also a budding company; albeit younger, as it only started operating in 2019.

Upon inspecting its repertoire, we think that Ecobin’s plus factor lies in the number of its dumpster size. With a total of five sizes ranging from 10 yds, 12 yds, 15 yds, 18 yds, and 20 yds, which clients can get for $269, $289, $349, $369, and $419 plus GST, respectively.

We also like that Ecobins provides more options for clients concerning the rent duration of dumpsters. Customers can choose whether to lease the bins for three, seven, or 14 days.

But above those, Ecobin’s stand-out factor is because of the yard bags that clients can use as an alternative for dumpsters. From 3 yds, 5yds, 9yds, to 12 yards, these bags could come in handy if you are doing small projects or cleanup for your home.

Additionally, Ecobins has a yard bag specially made for collecting drywalls. It is also worth sharing that it has junk removal services.

Compared to most companies offering dumpster rental, we think Ecobins offers more selection to its clients in terms of size and variety.

But that is not the only thing Ecobins has in store, as its clients are also satisfied with the quality of its customer service. Most of them stressed that its phone lines are responsive while the delivery team is on the clock.

Despite those, Ecobins has a minor flaw: its services are unavailable on Sundays, unlike most dumpster rental companies that operate for the whole week.
