What affects your price
Volume
How much trailer space your items take up.
Weight
Concrete, soil, brick, and shingles are priced by weight.
Special handling
Fridges and ACs need refrigerant recovered. Mattresses and tires have handling fees at disposal.
Access
Long carries, tight stairs, or disassembly can add time.
Demolition scope
Size, construction, footings, and what has to be protected.
Sorting
We separate what can be donated or recycled where possible.
Hauling it yourself vs hiring us
You can take a load to the City of Ottawa's Trail Waste Facility yourself. Mixed loads there are charged by weight (check current rates on ottawa.ca), and you still need a truck, helpers, and a free afternoon. Hiring a crew makes sense when items are heavy, there are stairs, or your time is worth more than the drive.

- Find people to lift
- Pay tipping fees by weight
- Sort and unload at the facility

How is junk removal priced?
By volume: how much of our trailer your items fill, from a single item up to a full load. Heavy materials like concrete, soil, and shingles are priced by weight, and items requiring specialized recycling (mattresses, freon appliances, tires) carry standard environmental surcharges.
Is the online estimate final?
It's an upfront estimate based on your description and photos. The crew confirms the final price on site before any work starts. If the job takes less space than anticipated, you pay less.
Do I need to be home?
Not always. For outdoor items, curbside pickups, or when access is pre-arranged, we can complete the job while you're away, text you completion photos, and provide digital payment options.
