View Net&MoveWhat a truck may not take
A junk removal crew can take most of a cleanout. A short list of things it cannot put in the same load, and the City sets limits on those even when you bring them yourself.
The City's household hazardous waste service handles the material that must not go to the curb, and it comes with limits that surprise people mid-cleanout. Containers larger than 20 litres are not accepted, a load with a volume exceeding 100 litres will be refused, the service is reserved for Ottawa residents, and commercial waste is prohibited.
It also runs on event days at fixed sites rather than continuously, so the calendar is part of the plan. For a smaller quantity, the City points to a retailer take-back route that accepts many hazardous items daily, including light bulbs, batteries, paint and oil.
Electronic waste is not accepted at the household hazardous waste events, and the City handles it and a list of special items through their own routes. That matters for the sort of cleanout that produces a stack of old monitors, a television nobody wants and a box of cables, because those are not a general load either.
Ask a junk removal company which of these streams it handles itself and which it does not. Sorting a garage into general, electronic and hazardous before anyone quotes is half an hour that decides whether the truck leaves full.
Buyer guide
What separates a great junk removal company from a cheap quote, and the questions worth asking before you sign.
Most Ottawa junk removal is priced by how much of the truck you fill. Ask for a volume-based quote, ideally after a photo or on-site look, so the price does not jump on the day.
Hazardous materials, some electronics, and certain renovation waste have rules. Confirm what the company can legally haul so you are not left with the awkward items.
Good operators divert usable furniture to charities and recycle metal and cardboard rather than dumping everything. Ask about their diversion approach if that matters to you.
Moving heavy or bulky items through your home carries risk. Confirm the company is insured, especially for basement and multi-floor clear-outs.
Before you hire
Where a bulky, electronic or hazardous item may legally go in Ottawa depends on the item itself. The City publishes a Waste Explorer tool that answers it item by item, which is worth checking before agreeing a disposal fee.
