Soil, Concrete, or Asphalt? Choose the Right 8-Yard Specialty Bin for Barrie, Alliston & Innisfil

August 15, 20265 min read

Removing a patio in Barrie? Digging out soil for a landscaping project in Alliston? Replacing an asphalt driveway in Innisfil?

You need a bin that is built for heavy materials.

Tor Bin Rental’s 8-yard specialty bin is designed for one material stream at a time:

  • Soil

  • Concrete

  • Asphalt

⚠️ This specialty bin is ONLY for soil, concrete, or asphalt. Do not use it for household garbage, renovation debris, lumber, drywall, shingles, or mixed construction waste.

Choosing the correct bin helps you avoid rejected loads, extra handling, and unnecessary disposal costs.

Quick Answer: Which 8-Yard Bin Do You Need?

Use this simple guide:

  • If you are removing dirt, excavation material, or clean fill, choose the 8-yard soil bin.

  • If you are breaking up a concrete patio, walkway, foundation, or slab, choose the 8-yard concrete bin.

  • If you are removing an old asphalt driveway or parking surface, choose the 8-yard asphalt bin.

  • If your load contains household or construction waste, choose a household and construction waste bin instead.

  • If you have more than one material type, book separate bins or contact us to confirm your options.

8-Yard Specialty Bin Dimensions

The 8-yard specialty bin measures:

  • 7 feet wide

  • 14 feet long

  • 2 feet high

This low-profile design gives you practical loading access while providing the capacity needed for dense, heavy materials.

Because soil, concrete, and asphalt become heavy quickly, an 8-yard specialty bin is a better fit than a larger general waste bin for many smaller demolition, excavation, and hardscape projects.

8-Yard Soil Bin Rental

Choose the soil bin when your project produces clean soil or excavation material.

Ideal soil bin projects

  • Garden and landscaping excavations

  • Retaining wall preparation

  • Pool or hot tub excavation

  • Basement entrance or walkway work

  • Driveway and patio preparation

  • Grading and drainage projects

  • Removing excess topsoil or subsoil

Soil bin pricing

The starting rate for an 8-yard soil bin is $300.

Please note:

  • Prices are starting rates.

  • The final price varies by postal code.

  • Prices are subject to H.S.T.

  • A 5% fuel surcharge applies.

What belongs in the soil bin?

Load soil only.

Do not add:

  • Household garbage

  • Renovation debris

  • Lumber

  • Drywall

  • Concrete

  • Asphalt

  • Shingles

  • Mixed construction waste

Keep the material as clean as possible. If you are removing sod, roots, rocks, or other materials along with the soil, contact Tor Bin Rental before booking so we can confirm the correct disposal option.

✅ Best choice: Book the soil bin when clean excavation material is the main waste stream.

8-Yard Concrete Bin Rental

Choose the concrete bin for clean concrete removal from demolition or renovation work.

Ideal concrete bin projects

  • Removing a concrete patio

  • Breaking up a sidewalk

  • Replacing a concrete driveway

  • Demolishing a concrete step

  • Removing a garage or shed slab

  • Renovating a foundation or basement floor

  • Clearing concrete blocks or sections from a project

Concrete bin pricing

The starting rate for an 8-yard concrete bin is $350.

As with all specialty bin rates:

  • Pricing varies by postal code.

  • Prices are subject to H.S.T.

  • A 5% fuel surcharge applies.

Concrete is dense. It can reach weight limits quickly. Load carefully and do not assume that a bin can be filled with unlimited weight simply because there is still empty space.

Before loading concrete

Follow these steps:

  1. Break large pieces into manageable sections.

  2. Load evenly across the bottom of the bin.

  3. Keep other waste out of the load.

  4. Do not overfill above the bin’s sides.

  5. Contact us if your concrete is mixed with significant soil, asphalt, garbage, or other debris.

⚠️ Do not mix concrete with household or construction waste in the specialty bin.

✅ Best choice: Book the concrete bin when concrete is the only material you need to remove.

8-Yard Asphalt Disposal Bin Rental

Choose the asphalt bin when you are removing old asphalt from a driveway, parking area, walkway, or repair project.

Ideal asphalt bin projects

  • Driveway replacement

  • Asphalt patching and removal

  • Parking pad upgrades

  • Walkway reconstruction

  • Small road or access-area repairs

  • Removing damaged asphalt around a property

Asphalt bin pricing

The starting rate for an 8-yard concrete/asphalt bin is $350.

The final rate depends on:

  • Your delivery postal code

  • H.S.T.

  • The applicable 5% fuel surcharge

Asphalt is heavy, so plan your loading process before the bin arrives. If you are removing a large paved area, ask us whether you need more than one bin or a different disposal arrangement.

Keep asphalt loads separate

Do not place these materials in an asphalt-only bin:

  • Soil

  • Concrete

  • Shingles

  • Household garbage

  • Lumber

  • Drywall

  • General construction waste

✅ Best choice: Book the asphalt bin when your load consists primarily of clean asphalt removal.

Soil, Concrete, and Asphalt: Do Not Mix Materials

The most important specialty-bin rule is simple:

One approved material type per bin.

For example:

  • Soil goes in the soil bin.

  • Concrete goes in the concrete bin.

  • Asphalt goes in the asphalt bin.

Do not combine all three materials because they came from the same project. A driveway replacement may produce asphalt, soil, and concrete. These are separate disposal streams.

If/then decision guide

  • If you are excavating soil only, then choose the soil bin.

  • If you are removing a concrete slab only, then choose the concrete bin.

  • If you are tearing out asphalt only, then choose the asphalt bin.

  • If you are handling mixed renovation debris, then choose a household and construction waste bin.

  • If you are unsure whether your material qualifies, then call 705-481-7604 before loading.

Using the right bin from the beginning is easier than sorting a contaminated load later.
