Rubbish Removal Services
There was a time when the City of Vancouver took care of all the junk disposal services people needed and there was no need for private companies hauling away garbage for residents and private businesses. However, at some point the city decided to exclude such items as large furniture. It wasn’t long before couches and mattresses started to appear in Stanley Park and back alleys. At that point the private junk removal business was born on a large scale. In this article you will find out everything you need to know if you are looking to get rid of your unwanted garbage by hiring one of those companies.
Cost of junk removal
Disposal rates depend on a range of variables such as the weight, type and volume of the waste material. In addition to this, rates differ based on where your items are and which company you hire. We will first examine the basic facts that determine the price range of the disposal services. If you have a single item that you need taken to the dump, a reasonable service fee will be around $80-$90 per large item. Furniture items are the most common. Most people are in need of getting rid of a couch or recycling a mattress but other types of furniture can be picked up as well. If you have more than couple of large items then this is considered a big job and rates are mostly determined by the volume of the rubbish. Large loads can go anywhere from $400 and reach as high as $600 if you are disposing of drywall or really heavy garbage.
How to find the best rubbish removal company?
Naturally you would want to compare rates but this is not always the best way to approach the matter. This is because disposal rates posted on websites can be misleading. Some waste disposal companies don’t include all the charges in the price list and this is where most conflicts come into play. Therefore, as a good practice you should ask for the total cost of junk removal. Some companies operating in British Columbia would try to avoid answering these questions and this is a good reason for you not to deal with them. Find a trash removal companies that operates in you city. If you live in Burnaby but you hire a junk hauling company from West Vancouver, you may have to pay extra fees.
How to avoid extra disposal fees?
Get everything outside your house. If they have to carry your items from the basement, they will charge you more money for labour. The driveway or your garage is a suitable place to pile it up. If you have your garbage outside, cover it with something so the rain would not get to it. If you get it wet, that would make it heavier and the service will be more expensive for you.
