Get your price

Most junk removal companies will not price your job until they are standing in your living room. Send us photos instead.

You do not need to guess at volumes, move anything outside, or let a stranger in just to find out the cost. Show us what you have and your price comes back in minutes.

No home visit to get a price No re-quote on the doorstep Open Sundays, no weekend surcharge

You will never be asked how many cubic feet you have. Nobody knows that, and if your things are spread across three rooms you could not measure it anyway.

Photos

How to get the best images:

  1. Stand at a distance where you can get the whole pile in frame and take a picture from there.
  2. If the pile is big and you have room to frame it from two or three angles, send them all.
  3. If you have items or piles in different parts of the building, send a picture or two of each one.

Or email them to [email protected] if that is easier

The three things you are actually worried about

Someone called 50 junk removal companies and asked a simple question: what does it cost to haul away one couch. Seven of them answered. We built this company around the other 43.

"I have to let someone into my house just to find out the price."

Photos, not a home visit

Send a couple of pictures from the doorway. Your price comes back in minutes, and single items are priced instantly right here with no photos at all.

"The price will change when they arrive."

The price you approve is the price you pay

We quote from what you showed us, and that holds: a firm price for single items and cleanouts, an estimated range for heavy material with the scale deciding the exact number inside it. If what is there is materially different from the photos, the crew tells you before anything is loaded and you decide. Nothing is added after the work is done.

"They will show up late, or not at all."

A two hour window you can hold us to

You pick a two hour window and we text you the morning of. Arrive outside it and 50 dollars comes off your bill, without you having to ask.

Pricing, in full

Volume based, like most of the industry. The difference is that ours is published and defined. Prices shown are for Metro Vancouver. Calgary runs about 10 percent lower.

Junk removal prices by load size
Load sizeVolumePrice
Single itemOne mattress, one sofa, one fridge Whatever it is, on its own from $149
Small loadAbout 15 kitchen garbage bags, or one big item plus a few boxes 55 to 70 ft³ $219
Quarter loadA sofa, a mattress and about ten boxes 105 to 140 ft³ $299
Half loadA packed single car garage, or a one bedroom apartment cleared out 210 to 280 ft³ $469
Three quarter loadA two car garage, most of the way full About 350 ft³ $639
Full loadA full two car garage, or a two bedroom apartment cleared out 425 to 530 ft³ $799

Why we tell you the actual volume

A "full truck" means something different at every company, and almost nobody says what. A one ton truck holds around 105 to 140 cubic feet. Other trucks hold four times that. If you are comparing quotes, ask each company how many cubic feet their load size is. It is the only way the numbers mean anything, and it is why ours are printed above.

Single items, priced instantly

These have no variables in them, so there is no reason to make you wait for a quote. Book one right from the form above.

Sofa$169
Fridge or freezer$179
Washer or dryer$159
Television$149

Adding a second item to the same visit costs far less than a second trip. The form works it out as you go.

Every surcharge we have. There are no others.

  • Access: above the second floor with no elevator, 40 dollars. More than 15 metres of carry from where the truck can park, 30 dollars
  • Per item, inside a larger load, because each one carries its own disposal fee: mattress 40, box spring 40, crib mattress 15, fridge or freezer 45, washer or dryer 25, television 25, tire 20 (40 oversized), dried paint can 5
  • By weight: drywall, concrete, soil, brick, tile, roofing and construction debris. We send you an estimated range from your photos, and the scale sets the real price inside that range on the day of the job
  • Not accepted at any price: liquid paint, chemicals, solvents, propane. Here is where those go, free
  • Worth knowing about tires: in BC you can drop off up to four off rim tires free at participating retailers, and Calgary Eco Centres take up to twelve a day including rims. We will take them inside a load at 20 dollars each because they cost us to handle, but if that is all you have, the free option is genuinely easier. Locations here

Why a mattress is 149 on its own but 40 inside a load: the 149 covers the whole trip when the mattress is the only reason we are coming. If we are already there for a bigger load, you pay only the 40 that the mattress itself costs to handle and dispose of.

Three steps

1

Show us

Single item? You get the price on the spot. Anything bigger, send two photos from the doorway. No measuring, no moving things outside, no letting people in just to get a quote.

2

Approve the price

Your quote comes back within 2 hours during business hours (after 4pm, expect it by 10am the next day). Once it is in, you only have to approve it and book the service. A 40% deposit is charged then to hold your booking.

3

It is gone

The crew loads, sweeps up, and sends you before and after photos. The rest of the price you approved is only charged once you confirm the job is done.

Two hour window, or 50 dollars off

Waiting all afternoon for a truck that might come is the worst part of hiring anyone. We put money on it so you do not have to trust us on it.

What we take, and what we cannot

This list is here so it is not a surprise on the day. It is the second most common complaint in this industry, right after price changes.

We take

  • Furniture
  • Mattresses
  • Appliances
  • Electronics
  • Yard waste
  • Renovation debris
  • Carpet and flooring
  • Hot tubs
  • Exercise equipment
  • Pianos
  • Sheds and fencing
  • Scrap metal
  • Office furniture
  • Full estate contents
  • Garage and basement clutter
  • Tires

Is anything worth donating? Point it out to the crew when they arrive, and we will do everything we can to get it to someone who needs it.

We cannot take

  • Asbestos or suspected asbestos
  • Liquid paint
  • Chemicals and solvents
  • Motor oil and antifreeze
  • Propane tanks
  • Car batteries
  • Ammunition and explosives
  • Medical waste and needles
  • Biological waste
  • Unlabelled drums

These are not lost causes. Almost every item on this list has a free drop off programme in BC and Alberta, and most people have never been told they exist.

Read the full disposal guide: where every item goes, in BC and Alberta →

Dried or solidified paint we can take. Liquid paint we cannot, because it is a regulated flammable liquid and transfer stations will not accept it.

If your building was built before 1990 and the job involves renovation debris, we will ask about the year. Material that may contain asbestos has to be handled by a contractor licensed by WorkSafeBC, and we do not have one in our network yet, so we cannot take that job right now. A licensed abatement contractor is the right call for that material.

Junk Moose

A Better Way to Get Rid of Junk

Junk removal in our communities has a strange gap in it. There are plenty of operators with a truck, a crew, insurance, and a dump account; people who are genuinely good at the physical work. What is often missing is a simple way for customers to find them, get a clear answer, and know what to expect from the moment they ask for help.

Getting rid of your unwanted stuff should not feel complicated. You should not have to call several companies, wait for someone to call you back, explain the same job over and over, or have multiple companies come to your home just to get a quote.

That is where Junk Moose comes in. We connect customers with experienced local crews and make the process simple from beginning to end.

From the first photo and the first quote to the moment everything is gone, we focus on making the experience clear, responsive and straightforward, while making sure the work itself is done by people who know what they are doing.

Because good junk removal is about more than getting things out of your house. It is about making one less thing for you to worry about.

You deal with one company, one price, one guarantee, from the first photo to the last item gone.

Questions

Why do you need photos instead of just giving me a price?

Because volume does not tell us weight, and weight is most of the disposal cost. A full load of household furniture and a full load of soil take up the same space and cost very different amounts to dump. Guessing at that is how companies end up re-quoting on the doorstep. Taking photos takes you just a few minutes and lets us give you a clear price that both of us can commit to. Single items skip this entirely, because a mattress is a mattress.

Will the price change when the crew arrives?

For single items and cleanouts, we quote from your photos and that number holds. If at arrival the items are materially different from what your pictures showed, or if there is extra junk to remove, we would have to adjust accordingly and you would have to authorize the new price before loading anything. For heavy material, priced by weight, we send an estimated range and the scale sets the real number on the day the service is provided.

How fast do I get my quote?

Single items are priced instantly on this webpage. For any other service, we reply back within 2 hours during business hours, or by 10am the next day if you send photos after 4pm. Either way, nobody comes to your house to give you a number.

Do I have to move everything outside first?

No. We take it from wherever it is: the basement, the back bedroom, behind the shed. Carrying it out is the job. All you have to do is point.

Can I get same day service?

Usually yes if you book before noon, and often later than that. Availability is shown before you commit, so you are never guessing.

Are you open on Sundays?

Yes, and there is no weekend surcharge. Transfer stations in Metro Vancouver are open Saturday and Sunday, so Sunday works the same as any other day.

Do I need to be home?

No. Plenty of jobs run with garage access or a gate code. You get before and after photos either way.

What do I do with paint, chemicals and propane tanks?

They cannot legally ride in a junk truck, but almost all of them have a free drop off programme. In British Columbia, Product Care Recycling accepts leftover paint, aerosols, flammable liquids and pesticides at no charge. In Calgary, eleven City locations take paint, solvents, batteries, oil, antifreeze, pesticides and propane tanks free. You can find where to take these items in our disposal guide for BC and Alberta.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry commercial general liability coverage, and every crew we send carries their own commercial liability and commercial auto coverage. We will send you the certificate if you would like to see it.

What areas do you serve?

Metro Vancouver: Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, UBC, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore, Belcarra, New Westminster, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Surrey, White Rock, Langley City, Langley Township, Delta and Tsawwassen First Nation. Calgary and surrounding communities. More cities are being added.
