Can you take my ___?
Adel's takes almost anything non-hazardous from homes and job sites in Ottawa, including furniture, appliances, electronics, yard waste, and renovation debris. Some items cost extra because of weight or special handling. We can't take paint, propane, fuel, chemicals, asbestos, or medical waste.
