Key standards, timelines, and compliance requirements every Stratford customer should know before booking.
| WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW | HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR STRATFORD PROJECT |
|---|---|
| Standard Rental Period | 7 days is the baseline. Extensions are available at any time. This matches the pace of most Stratford residential renovation and commercial projects without forcing rushed timelines. |
| Available Bin Sizes | 7, 10, 15, 20, and 40 cubic yards. Stratford homeowners working on heritage homes typically use 10-15 yard bins; contractors on new-build or commercial sites often require 20-40 yard bins. |
| Delivery Timeline | Same-day or next-day delivery is available in most cases. Stratford falls well within Hersey Bins' core service area, and most orders are confirmed and dispatched within 24 hours of booking. |
| All-Inclusive Pricing | Hersey Bins pricing covers delivery, the rental period, pickup, and disposal. No hidden fees. Pricing varies by bin size and project scope. Request a quote online or by phone. |
| Ontario Waste Compliance | All waste is sorted and handled in compliance with Ontario's provincial regulations. Improper disposal of construction waste can result in fines up to $50,000 for individuals. |
| Prohibited Materials | Hazardous waste including paint, pesticides, gas cans, rubber tires, asbestos, chemicals, and vehicle fluids are not accepted. Contact Hersey Bins if unsure about a specific material. |
| Driveway Protection | All bins are placed on wooden boards to protect driveway surfaces, asphalt, interlocking stone, and landscaping during delivery and pickup. Stratford's older neighbourhoods have many heritage-grade stone and interlock drives we take care to protect. |
Choosing the right bin size prevents overfills, extra trips, and unnecessary cost. Use the guide below as a starting point. The Hersey Bins team is also available to advise based on your specific Stratford project details.
The Hersey Bins rental process in four steps:
Call (519) 824-5097, book online, or request a free quote.
Choose the right size for your waste volume and project type.
Your bin arrives within 24 hours, boards placed to protect your driveway.
Load at your own pace. Hersey handles disposal and site sweep.
Hersey Bins places protective boards under every bin before it touches your driveway. Whether your home has an interlock stone drive in the John Street heritage corridor or a new asphalt pad in the Avon West subdivision, we make sure the bin leaves no marks, scrapes, or impressions when it is picked up.
Your quote covers everything - bin size, delivery, pickup, and a standard rental period. There are no surprise overage invoices after the fact. We explain exactly what affects your price upfront, so you can plan your project budget without second-guessing what the final bill will be.
Most Stratford orders are delivered same-day or within 24 hours. When a roofing crew pulls a surprise tear-off or a renovation schedule shifts, we can respond quickly. Call (519) 824-5097 early in the day and we will do everything we can to get you a bin by the end of it.
Hersey Bins is not a franchise with a 1-800 call centre. We are a locally owned Ontario operation, which means decisions are made by people who know this region - not a corporate office in another province. You speak directly with the team who handles your delivery.
We sort and divert load materials at licensed facilities to keep as much waste as possible out of landfill. For renovation and cleanout projects in Stratford, responsible disposal is built into our service, not an add-on.
Hersey Bins operates as a fully licensed and insured bin rental provider in Ontario and maintains active Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) coverage. This protects both our team and your job site, giving homeowners and contractors in Stratford peace of mind that all work is carried out safely and in compliance with provincial regulations.
The City of Stratford administers road allowance and right-of-way use through its Engineering Division, which is responsible for permitting work within municipal rights of way, including roads and sidewalks. Any temporary placement of a structure, including a bin, within the City’s public road allowance may require an encroachment or road occupancy permit depending on your specific street and project duration.
Generally, placing a bin entirely on private property (your driveway) does not require a permit from the City of Stratford. If your driveway cannot accommodate the bin and placement on a public boulevard or street is required, contact the City of Stratford Engineering Division directly before delivery to confirm current permit requirements.
Hersey Bins delivers bin rentals across all of Stratford, including the following neighbourhoods and residential areas: the John Street heritage corridor, Avon River North, Avon West, Devon Street and Willow Street east end, the Forest Road neighbourhood, Downtown Stratford, the Ontario Street and Erie Street corridors, Shakespearean Gardens area, Huron Street west end, adjacent west-end subdivisions, and the Highway 7/8 commercial and industrial corridors. We serve established heritage homes in the city core and active new-build developments on Stratford’s expanding west and north edges with equal reliability.
We also serve the surrounding Perth County communities of St. Marys, Mitchell, Sebringville, Tavistock, Shakespeare, Milverton, Listowel, and the townships of Perth East and Perth South. Homeowners and contractors in North Perth and West Perth are also within our service range. Not sure if we cover your address? Call us at (519) 824-5097 or enter your address when booking online.
Hersey Bins accepts a wide range of materials in standard rental bins. The table below outlines what is accepted and what is prohibited under Ontario waste management regulations.

| Clean fill (uncontaminated soil) in designated bins | Anything carrying freon (unless pre-degassed) |
If you are unsure whether a specific material is accepted, contact the Hersey Bins team before loading. The team will guide you to the correct disposal pathway rather than leaving you to guess.
Bin rental pricing in Stratford depends on the size of the bin, the type of material being disposed of, and the length of your rental. These are all-inclusive prices covering delivery, the 7-day rental period, pickup, and standard disposal. Contact Hersey Bins directly or via the online quote tool for a project-specific price for your project.
The right bin size for your Stratford renovation depends on how many rooms are involved and what materials are coming out. A 7-yard bin suits a single garage cleanout or small landscaping job. A 10-yard bin handles a bathroom or kitchen renovation in a typical Stratford home. A 15-yard bin is appropriate for a roofing tear-off or mid-sized multi-room reno. A 20-yard bin covers full-home renovations, especially in Stratford’s heritage stock where you may be stripping multiple layers of materials. The Hersey Bins team can help you confirm the right size at the time of booking.
The standard rental period is 7 days, which is sufficient for most Stratford residential and commercial projects. Extensions are available and can be arranged at any time before or during your rental – just call (519) 824-5097. Extension pricing is transparent and communicated at booking so there are no surprises. Many Stratford homeowners managing large heritage renovations or multi-phase projects opt for extended rentals from the start.
The following items are not accepted in any Hersey Bins dumpster in Stratford: paint and paint products, propane tanks, hazardous or chemical waste, asbestos, electronics and e-waste, rubber tires, batteries, large appliances containing refrigerants such as fridges and air conditioners, flammable liquids, and biohazardous or medical waste. If you are unsure about a specific item, call us at (519) 824-5097 before loading – we would rather help you plan than have to refuse a pickup.
If your bin is placed entirely on your private driveway, no permit is required from the City of Stratford. If your project requires placing the bin on a public road allowance or boulevard because your driveway cannot accommodate it, you should contact the City of Stratford Engineering Division at (519) 271-0250 before delivery to confirm current permit requirements for temporary road occupancy or encroachment. The Engineering Division oversees all work within the city’s municipal rights of way, including roads and sidewalks.
Same-day or next-day delivery is available in Stratford, typically within 24 hours of booking. For same-day service, we recommend calling (519) 824-5097 as early in the morning as possible. Online bookings are also accepted. Delivery availability depends on current scheduling, but Stratford is well within our core service area and we prioritize fast turnaround for all orders.
Booking is straightforward. You can book online at any time, call us at (519) 824-5097 during business hours, or submit a quote request. Online booking takes a few minutes and confirms your delivery date and bin size immediately. For same-day requests or custom sizing questions, calling is the fastest route.
