Signs it is time to call
Spare bedrooms and garages fill a box at a time. Clearing one is a half-day for a crew and a month of weekends alone.
Sectionals and box springs that went in before a renovation often need breaking down. That is part of the job, not an extra.
Drywall, tile and old subfloor slow your trades down, and it draws complaints once it spreads onto the boulevard.
Most delivery crews leave the old unit behind, and a fridge cannot go to the curb with refrigerant still in it.
Belongings left after a move-out have to be cleared and documented before the unit can be shown again.
Closing dates do not move. A full clearance is booked as one visit rather than a run of weekend trips.
Hot tubs, treadmills, pianos and sheds need two people and a plan. Small jobs get the same booking window as large ones.
Old fencing, broken furniture and yard waste build up along the back wall. Most garages clear in under two hours.

It gets sorted
Metal, electronics and usable furniture are separated for recycling or donation before the rest goes to the transfer station.

What it costs
Junk removal is priced by the space the load takes up in the truck, not by the hour and not by weight. Loads run from $125 for the smallest to $700 for a full truck, and single items within 10 km start at $80. Dirt, concrete, brick and asphalt are priced separately by the cubic yard.
Junk removal by the load

| 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.
Dirt, concrete, brick and asphalt removal
Heavy material we load and haul for you, priced by the cubic yard.
| Material volume | Price |
|---|---|
| 1 cubic yard | $350 |
| 2 cubic yards | $425 |
| 3 cubic yards | $500 |
| 4 cubic yards | $575 |
| 5 cubic yards | $650 |
- These prices apply when the load is one material only.
- A mix of dirt, concrete and brick adds $50. A mixed load containing asphalt adds $75.
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.
What changes the price
| Volume | How much of the truck bed the load actually fills |
|---|---|
| Access | A third-floor walk-up or basement stairs adds crew time |
| Item type | Fridges and mattresses carry their own disposal levy |
| Heavy material | Dirt, concrete, brick and asphalt are priced by the cubic yard, with a surcharge for mixed loads |
| Distance | Jobs at the edge of the service area include the extra drive |
| Sorting | Mixed loads take longer to separate than clean ones |
What moves your number
Tick anything that applies. These are the things that change a quote, so knowing them up front is what lets us price the job over the phone.
Nothing ticked. A straightforward job is priced on volume alone.
Why people book our junk removal
Priced before we load
The number covers labour, the drive and disposal, and you have it before the truck fills.
Nothing goes to the curb first
We take it from the basement, the attic or the third floor. You do not move it.
The space is swept after
Floors are protected on the way out and the area is left clean.
Sorted, not just tipped
Metal, electronics and usable furniture are pulled out for recycling or donation.
Seven days from 7am
Weekend and early-morning bookings are normal here, not an exception.
Local and seasonal factors
Toronto housing works against you here. Semis around Weston Road and the Junction have stair runs too narrow for a box spring, and much of the older stock has no rear access at all. Crews carry out through the front door on those jobs, which is why access matters more than volume.
The work swings with the season. Spring brings garage and basement clearouts, late summer brings the student move-out weeks, and the run-up to a closing date fills the calendar in any month of the year.
Common questions
Who removes old furniture in Toronto?
Junk Alert removes furniture across Toronto and the GTA, including sofas, mattresses, dressers and box springs. Two crew members carry the item out from wherever it sits, so nothing has to be moved to the curb first. Bookings run seven days a week from 7am.
Do I have to move junk to the curb before pickup?
No. The crew carries everything out from where it sits, whether that is a basement, a third-floor walk-up or the back of a garage. Doorways and floors are protected on the way through, and the space is swept once the load is out.
How much junk fits in one truck load?
A standard load holds roughly the contents of a single-car garage, or about six pickup truck loads. Larger clearances are booked as several loads on the same visit. Where the load is mostly heavy material like soil or brick, a roll-off bin usually works out cheaper.
Does junk removal in Toronto include appliance disposal?
Yes. Fridges, stoves, washers, dryers and air conditioners are taken and routed to the right facility, since units holding refrigerant cannot go to landfill. Televisions and computers are separated as electronic waste. Both are handled as part of the job rather than billed on.
Frequently asked questions
A day or two is usually enough for a single room or a few items. Whole-property clearances and anything tied to a closing date are worth booking a week out, because those jobs take a crew off the schedule for most of a day.
Paint, solvents, motor oil, fuel, propane tanks, car batteries, asbestos and medical waste all need a licensed hazardous depot. Call anyway and we will point you to the nearest municipal drop-off that accepts them, so the rest of the load can still go.
Only at the start, so you can point out what is going and what is staying. After that most customers leave the crew to it. For an empty unit or an estate property, we can work from a key and a written list.
Usually, and where it will not turn the corner the crew breaks it down on site. Sectionals, box springs and older bedroom sets often went in before a renovation closed the route. Dismantling is part of the job rather than an extra charge.
Metal, electronics and usable furniture come off the truck first and go to recyclers or donation. The rest goes to a licensed transfer station. Nothing is left at the curb or in a laneway, which is what a bylaw complaint usually traces back to.
It depends what the material is. Truck loads suit bulky household items and mixed clutter. Roll-off bins suit heavy material like soil, brick and concrete, and any job where you would rather load gradually over several days than clear everything in one visit.
