Junk removal service in Deep Cove – North Vancouver

Welcome to our Deep Cover junk removal services page. Here you will find all the information, you might need on how to get rid of large items, or large amounts of garbage.

What is junk removal service?

It is very simple. A truck is sent to your house, and anything that you don’t think, you have use for anymore, will be hauled away. Not everything is garbage, which means that a large portion of the items, will be taken to recycling facilities. Good furniture will be even reused.

Junk removal rates for Deep Cove?

20150129_112546Rates are pretty much the same, all over Vancouver and the North Shore. For single items, as in the case of a couch, the service cost is $80-$90, depending on how soon you need it hauled away. Rubbish removal companies, have few days each week, during which they pick up smaller amounts of garbage. If you are in a hurry, they they have to send a big truck for your couch, and this naturally, will cost more. It could go as high as $140.

For more items, or larger amounts of junk, the pricing is calculated differently. It is about $40 per cubic yard, under the condition that you have minimum of 3 cubic yards. Since the items have to be taken to the North Shore Transfer Station, and a disposal fee is applied, based on weight, heavy items will cost more than $40/cubic yard. This usually applies for construction waste. However, if you have only household rubbish, you need not worry about this. Your bill will be based on the $40/cubic yard average.

Labour cost is something that we should also clarify. For 10 cubic yards, which totals $400, you will get 1 hour of free labour. This means that the guys will take out the items, from whatever part of you house they are in. After the first hour, then a labour cost of $50/h will be added.

How to save on junk removal services?

There are few steps that you can take, in order to save some money. Labour cost is one of those ways. If you are up to it, take everything to the curb, or your driveway. The faster these guys can get it on the truck, the more you save.

We all know about the North Vancouver rain. If you will be leaving furniture outside on the rain, cover it. The rain will make it really heavy, and that could cost you money, since disposal companies pay fees at the dump, based on weight.

How to hire a good rubbish removal company in Deep Cove?

The vendor, does not have to be exactly from Deep Cove. However, try to get local guys. Nowadays, anyone can get a good looking website, and put all sorts of great claims on it, as a business. Customer reviews are easy to fake, so you should not waste your time, reading testimonials. Especially if you read them on their own website. Google provides independent reviews, and they are pretty good at removing the fake ones, but this is not always the case. I’ve read many, and most are so scripted, that anyone with marketing background, can see the narrative.

The best thing to do is to talk to each company directly. This is not to say, that bad companies cannot hire pleasant customer representatives. However, you will be able to tell, if you are being lied to, when you ask certain questions regarding pricing. Ask about the above discussed extra fees based on heavy items, or additional labour cost. A honest company, will tell you about the possibility of these extra fees, and will give you a similar explanation to the one I’ve given.

How to schedule a pick up on the North Shore?

The sooner you call, the better. This way, you are first in line, and you get the day and hour you want them to show up. If you are in a hurry, they will probably still be able to do it, but it will cost you more. It is even possible to get same day pick up. Give them a call, and they will schedule a pick up for you. Usually a 2 hour windows is provided, and you should be at home at that time. You can even ask them to give you a call, when they are 30 min away from your place. This way, you don’t have to exactly at your property, during those 2 hours.

Cheap junk removal services

Be careful with things that are too good to be true. You could strike gold, here and there, but it is rare, and most of the time, you will end up paying a higher price, or simply spend the whole day at home, waiting for a guy with a broker pickup truck to show up. Even if you fine a cheap reliable guy, the problem is that, unless he increases his rates in the future, he won’t be around for too long. You will never be able to develop a relationship with someone, you know you can rely on.

There is also the issue with security. Many of those cheap guys, just want to get access to your house, and get an idea, if there is anything they can pick up later, when you are not at home. This is an old Craigslist problem.

Recycling

Through the years, we see less and less of the items, going the the dump. About 1/3 of our loads, now end up being taken to recycling facilities. It takes us longer to dispose of recycling materials, but we save on the dumping fees. So, overall, it is the same, but it helps the environment.

Why hire a rubbish removal company on the North Shore?

The main reason is, that the city of North Vancouver, will not pick up any large items, or large volumes of rubbish. There were times, when this was part of the garbage pick up service, but those days are now gone.

However, this is not the sole reason for using this valuable service. Because, we have the tendency to collect things we don’t really need, after a while, our homes begin to look, smaller and smaller on the inside. Do you have two car garage, and both of your cars have not seen the inside of your garage, for years? You are not alone. I see this all the time, and once we clear this garage, my clients cannot believe their eyes.

Recently, we have noticed an increase of Real Estate agents, hiring us to get rid of furniture and general household junk, prior to sale of property. Apparently this helps sell a property, by showing its real size.

I hope that by now, you have a much better idea on how to hire our services, and what to expect from a professional company. If there are any questions in regards to rubbish removal on the North Shore, we are a call away. Thank you for reading.
