Before paying for junk removal, try giving your items away free on JunkOut.
Many items in decent condition are claimed by St. Albert neighbours within days — at no cost to you.
Try Reuse First
Junk removal companies charge $100–$400+ per load depending on volume and access.
Many items that end up in a junk removal truck could have found a new home instead.
Paid removal makes sense for: items that can't be donated or given away (mould, pests, severe damage);
volume that exceeds what the city's large-item pickup handles; time-sensitive situations; or hazardous materials.
Compare at least 2–3 quotes before booking — prices vary significantly.
Confirm what's included: labour, disposal fees, stairs, and disassembly.
Ask about donation or recycling diversion — some companies divert reusable items.
