Frequently Asked Questions
Wood-only dumpster rental. Edge AI classification. Carbon-verified feedstock. Every answer connects the tech to the money.
Pricing & Billing
Why is 905WOOD 22.7% cheaper than the GTA average?
Because we don't landfill 66% of what we pick up. The Walking Floor Mothership bypasses transfer stations and delivers densified chips direct to BioHubs. That diversion cuts our disposal cost, shrinks the CIRCIL Levy to the clean-wood rate ($5/tonne vs $60/tonne), and the savings pass through in Decoupled Billing.
What is the CIRCIL Levy and why is it on my invoice?
Ontario's circular-economy landfill levy. $5/tonne on verified clean wood, $60/tonne on mixed. We show it as a separate line item at cost (Decoupled Billing) so you can see exactly what the government charges — and watch it shrink as your loads get cleaner.
What is the Carbon Dividend line on my invoice?
Informational. It shows the CORC (carbon removal credit) value of your clean wood load — 0.75 tonnes CO₂e per dry tonne × market price. A Mothership load generates ~$2,633 in CORC value. 905WOOD retains 100% of that credit; you benefit via the lower CIRCIL rate.
Classification & Compliance
How do you tell clean wood from treated wood?
Gemma 4 E2B (2.3B-parameter edge AI) runs on a Pixel 10 Pro at the bin. Binary classification under 500ms. If confidence drops below 85% (AMBER band), the E4B Visual Fallacy guard kicks in for dual-model consensus. If ambiguity remains, we reject. Precautionary Principle — always.
What happens if a contaminated load slips through?
Hub XRF/NIR sensors at the receiving facility provide the verdict. TCLP auto-reject thresholds: Arsenic > 2.5 mg/L, Lead > 5.0, Chromium > 5.0. Auto-manifest via RPRA HWPR. O.Reg 347 Schedule 4 compliance verified. Entire classification chain is frozen in Vertex ML Metadata with model version + training dataset.
Can I use a 905WOOD bin for pressure-treated or CCA wood?
No. We're wood-only for clean feedstock — construction framing, dimensional lumber, pallets, crating, clean dimensional offcuts. Treated, painted, laminated, or PCB-contaminated wood requires a separate waste stream. Ask us about the hazardous manifest workflow if you have both.
Cross-Border & USMCA
Do you ship loads to Michigan?
Yes — Ambassador Bridge corridor. Every cross-border load carries a 9-Point USMCA Certificate of Origin (HS 3825.0). Without it, Chapter 4 transshipment penalty is 40% ($1,140/Mothership). With it ($125 cost), the load reclassifies as "Wholly Obtained Good." ROI: 812%.
What's happening with Section 122 tariffs?
Section 122 (Trade Act 1974) at 10% applies until July 24, 2026. Our USMCA Shield protects against Chapter 4 exposure permanently.
Logistics
What bin sizes do you offer?
20-yd ($425), 30-yd ($525), 40-yd ($625), and the 144-yd Walking Floor Mothership ($2,750). All contract rates; spot adds $50–$250 per size.
How fast can you deliver?
24–48 hours in the Hamilton / GTA core. Same-day for Mothership loads when the calendar allows.
Where do you service?
Hamilton HQ, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Toronto, KW, Cambridge + 21 more Southern Ontario zones. Cross-border to Michigan on USMCA corridor.
