Garbage Removal & Dispoal in Edmonton
Here's what happens most times: you book a garbage removal service, they give you a 4-hour window, and you waste your whole saturday waiting. We did that once to a customer on Whyte Ave back in 2016. She called us out on google reviews (fair enough), and we changed how we operate.
Now we text you 30 minutes before arrival. Our crews are local guys who know Edmonton streets, so they dont get lost finding your place in Cloverdale or Terwillegar. We've hauled everything from old hot tubs to construction debris to those weird exercise machines everyone bought during lockdown.
The pricing is straightforward. We show up, look at your stuff, give you a flat price right there. No hidden fees for stairs or heavy items like some companies pull. If you say yes, we load it up and you're done in under an hour usually.
Garbage removal in Edmonton covers way more than people think. Its not just household junk. We handle yard waste, old appliances, furniture, electronics, construction materials, business equipment, pretty much anything that needs hauling away. The only things we cant take are hazardous chemicals and certain regulated materials, but we'll tell you exactly where those need to go.
Spring and fall are our busiest seasons for garbage removal. Spring because everyone's doing yard cleanup and finally tackling those indoor projects they've been putting off all winter. Fall because people are clearing out before the holidays and winterizing their properties. We usually book up fast those times of year, so calling ahead helps.
The truck capacity matters when you're pricing garbage removal. Our standard trucks hold about the same as a pickup truck bed times six. Thats enough for most single-room cleanouts or small renovation projects. Bigger jobs might need multiple loads or we bring a larger truck. We figure that out during the estimate so theres no surprises.
What takes the most time isnt always the loading. Its getting to the item sometimes. That treadmill in your basement? We gotta navigate three turns and a narrow staircase. The hot tub on your deck? Gotta disassemble it first. Piano on the second floor? Thats a two-person job minimum with special equipment. Our crews have done this stuff hundreds of times though, so they know how to move things safely without wrecking your walls or floors.
Edmonton garbage removal customers ask us all the time about same-day service. We can do it most days if you call before noon. After that it depends on the schedule, but next morning is usually available. Weekends book up faster, so if you need saturday service, thursday or friday booking works better.
The other question we get constantly: "can you take just one item?" Yeah, absolutely. We've done single-item pickups for couches, mattresses, refrigerators, all kinds of stuff. Minimum charge applies obviously, but if you just need one thing gone and dont have a truck, we'll come get it.
