Pricing

What estate and move-out cleanouts costs

Estate and move-out clearances are priced load by load on the same published scale. A single apartment rarely needs more than half a truck, while a full house usually runs several loads in the same visit. You hear the total before anything is loaded, and nothing is booked until you agree to it.

Tenant move-out, one-bedroom unit	$250 to $475Typical for a furnished unit left behind, a quarter to five eighths of a load.
Downsizing leftovers	$400 to $625What remains after the move, usually half a load to seven eighths, depending on furniture.
Condo or small apartment estate	$550 to $700A furnished two-bedroom usually runs three quarters to a full load.
Full house, per truck load	$700A furnished house with a basement and garage usually needs more than one full load.

Junk removal by the load

Priced by how much of the truck the load fills. The crew carries it out from wherever it sits.

Load size	Price
Full load	$700
7/8 load	$625
3/4 load	$550
5/8 load	$475
1/2 load	$400
3/8 load	$325
1/4 load	$250
1/8 load	$175
Small minimum load	$125
Single item or small pickup within 10 km	From $80

The single-item price depends on the item and the location.
Load prices are volume estimates. The final price depends on the actual load and what the job involves.

All prices are in Canadian dollars before HST and any separate charges. One metric tonne is 1,000 kg. See every price on one page.

How the job runs

1
Tell us the date first
Start with the closing or handover date. We tell you honestly whether it is bookable before you plan around it.
2
Share photos and the list
Photos of each room size the job. A written list of what stays, and who holds the key, lets the crew work without you there.
3
One visit, larger crew
A whole property usually takes most of a day. Floors and doorways are protected, and nothing is staged at the curb.
4
Sorted and swept
Usable furniture is set aside for donation and metal and electronics for recycling. Each room is swept as it is emptied.

What customers say

Local context

Estate and Move-Out Cleanouts in Toronto homes

Estate clearances in Toronto almost always run against a date. The house is sold, the closing is fixed, and the people handling it often live in another city or are working through it on top of a full week. That is why we start with the date, not the volume.

The usual pattern is a family that has taken what it wants and needs the rest gone in one go. Older detached houses in Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough tend to hold the most: a furnished main floor, a full basement, a garage and sometimes a shed, with sixty years of storage behind them. Those are booked as one visit with a larger crew, and they usually take most of a day.

Tenant move-outs and downsizing work are smaller but just as tied to a date. A landlord needs a unit cleared and swept before it can be shown again. A parent moving to a smaller place needs the rest of the house empty before possession. In either case, if you cannot be there, a key and a written list of what stays is enough for the crew to finish the job.

Frequently asked questions

No. Many estate clearances are done with nobody from the family on site. Leave a key with a neighbour, realtor or lockbox, and give us a written list of anything that stays. The list needs to be specific, room by room, so nothing is left to judgement.

A week out is worth it for a whole property, and more if the date is fixed. Whole-house clearances take a crew off the schedule for most of a day, so there are fewer of those slots than single-room bookings. Spring and early autumn fill first, so book before you finish sorting.

Usable furniture is separated from the load for donation, and metal and electronics are pulled out for recycling. If the family wants particular pieces to go to a specific charity or relative, arrange that before our visit, because those pickups usually need more notice than we do.

Yes, once you have the right to dispose of the contents under your tenancy situation. That part is between you and the tenant, and we do not advise on it. Once it is settled, we clear the unit, sweep it, and leave it ready to show.

Documents, photographs, jewellery, keys and anything of sentimental value. Check drawers, pockets, books and the backs of closets. Also set aside paint, solvents, propane and other hazardous materials, because they cannot go on the truck and need a municipal depot instead.

Most of a day for a furnished house with a basement and garage, using a larger crew. A one-bedroom apartment is usually one to two hours. Tight access, a third-floor walk-up or a long carry from the back of the property adds time.
