The cost to do junk removal in Coquitlam

How much does it cost to really get your rubbish hauled away? It is a question finding trustworthy advice on disposal fees may be hard and many residents of Coquitlam are confronted with. Before I begin listing average junk hauling prices and fees, I should cover some important information on what these prices are based.

Running a trash disposal company in Coquitlam is expensive and many of those expenses come from sources that most folks aren’t aware of. For example most think that hauling companies just pay for their gas, labour and dumping fees at the Dump in Vancouver. However, there are several other hidden costs that can’t be seen by the customer. The city of Vancouver introduces these normally pressure companies and new waste administration regulations each year to adjust the way that they do business. This is simply not to say that recycling is something we do not like to do, but it needs to be understood that these new guidelines cost more cash. For example, in the past we were able to pickup a load of garbage and simply dispose it in the dump. Nowadays, a rubbish disposal company needs to sort out crap into different groups and visit few places around North Vancouver to dispose them according to recycling regulations.

For example the city of New Westminster regulations require all mattresses or box springs to be recycled. The metal and wood is removed from the mattress for recycling. Taking apart the mattress is not an easy process and so, rubbish disposal companies are charged additional fees on top of the disposal fees. That cost is passed to the client.

Most rates are based on the volume your waste takes. Junk hauling fees range everywhere from $350 to $750 depending on how large the business is. However, be prepared to hear some wild estimations. We had many clients who called another rubbish disposal company which quoted them $1300 per load. This is unrealistic way of doing business in New Westminster. The problem with comparing prices is that some companies operating in New Westminster use little tricks to hide additional fees. For example you may be quoted $ 300 but at the end of the job you will be informed that this did not include the dumping fees. This is a standard practice in the waste disposal sector in British Columbia. When comparing disposal fees, be sure you are comparing whole rates which include disposal fees, labour, taxes and other additional fees.

If you have single or couple of items like furniture, then each item carries a disposal fee. For example a couch could cost you anywhere from $60 to $100. For single things you need to watch out for small companies that are essentially a man with a pick up truck working part time. Many of these guys are unreliable and you might end up losing the entire day waiting for him. Also you need to consider the fact you need to let this man in your home. We hear of cases from Craigslist where there are men offering affordable house services for the purpose of casing the property.
