In general, we charge by volume in terms of how much space your junk takes up in our truck. However, if you are wishing to dispose of heavier materials such as concrete or plaster surcharges would apply as we need to account for the additional disposal fees.
Our rates are based on the amount and type of junk being removed. Until we see what is to be removed, we can’t provide you with an exact price. Once on-site, simply indicate what you would like us to remove and a service representative will provide you with a no-obligation free estimate. If you’re pleased with the quote we come prepared to begin the job right away!
In most instances, we can be out to your location within a 24-48 hour time frame. If you are looking to get your junk removed on a specific day and time please call our office in advance to schedule ahead.
To allow for unforeseen circumstances, such as traffic or jobs that were larger than expected, appointments are booked in two-hour slots. The truck team will call 15 to 30 minutes before arrival to let you know exactly when they are on their way.
Our truck holds up to 15 cubic yards or 400 cubic feet measuring 10 ft. (L) x 8 ft. (W) x 5 ft. (H)
A cubic yard is 3 ft. high x 3 ft. wide x 3 ft deep, equivalent to 27 cubic feet. A cubic foot is a block 1 ft. high x 1 ft. long x 1 ft. deep. Using the rate card, a service representative will quantify the amount of junk you have in cubic yards or cubic feet and assess the nature of the materials you are wishing to dispose of before providing you with a quote.
Aside from the two strong labourers our trucks come equipped with disposal bins, dolly, garbage bags and various small tools to ensure that your junk is removed in a safe and timely manner.
In cases where we are removing junk from inside your home or business, we’re extra careful to ensure that no damage occurs to your walls and floors. For your peace of mind and ours, we are fully insured in case of accidental damage or injury.
Over 60% of the material removed from homes and businesses is donated to either a local charity or recycled. The remaining material is disposed of at a landfill or transfer station for further processing.
