Frequently asked questions
Metro East junk removal questions
- How much does Metro East junk removal cost?
- Hauling is priced by how much of the truck your load fills, plus access and disposal. Published figures vary widely — homeowners on r/Langley report $389 for a quarter truck and $150 for a half truck, and one poster on r/Calgary collected three quotes on the identical job at $612, $760 and over $1,000. Those are figures other people report paying, not our rate. We quote your job from a description and photos, and the scope is agreed before anything is loaded. The cost guide walks through what actually drives the number.
- Do I have to move anything to the curb first?
- No. We carry it out. Most people who contact us cannot move the item themselves — a seven-foot couch, a basement water heater, a sleeper sofa with a steel frame. You point at what goes and we do the lifting, including stairs and tight turns.
- Will the price change once the truck arrives?
- We confirm scope and price before anything is loaded, so you are never deciding under pressure with a crew already standing in your driveway. If what we find is materially different from what was described, we re-quote and you decide — nothing is charged until the scope is agreed.
- What will Metro East junk removal not take?
- Hazardous material is the main exclusion: wet paint, solvents and chemicals, asbestos, propane tanks, ammunition, and medical or biohazard waste. Appliances containing refrigerant — refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners — need refrigerant recovery and are handled separately. Tires and electronics usually carry a per-item disposal fee. The full list is in what we will and will not take.
