Household Rubbish for West Vancouver

   

How is household rubbish disposal fees determined?

  Household disposal fees for West Vancouver are determined by how much volume your rubbish takes in our truck. However, few factors could add some extra fees. For example, certain type of household rubbish can be heavier than other type of junk. This is very seldom with household garbage since most of it is of lighter nature. However, extra labour is the other factor which is happening in more cases. For example, some clients have their junk in the basement behind the house and the only way to get to the truck is to carry it around the house. This could add as much as extra 2-3 working hours for us. However our West Vancouver Rubbish Disposal company does not believe in hidden fees, so we will let you know in advance if you have to pay any additional disposal fees. We will look at your case and let you know on the spot what to expect. Most other West Vancouver Junk Removal companies will load the rubbish and then tell you that there was an extra $150 disposal fee because you had heavy items.  

Green Waste Disposal for West Vancouver

  Every house owner in West Vancouver deals with green waste and at some point the call to a Junk Removal company has to be made. Our  company can haul away the following types of green waste for you: Trees Branches Leaves Grass Firewood Bushes  

What is green waste disposal pricing based on?

  There are few factors that determine the disposal fees our  company charges for green waste. In general, disposal fees are based on weight of the green waste and labour. Weight is a major factor in determining the green waste disposal fees. For example firewood can be as much as 3-4 times heavier than other green waste such as grass or branches. When we take your green waste to the Transfer Station for recycling, a disposal fee is paid by us based on the weight of material we leave there. Labour is even more important factor when hauling away green waste. In some cases, clients don’t have easy access to their green waste. Taking green waste 20-30 yards to the junk removal truck can add as much as 2 extra hours of labour. Often, extra disposal fees have to be added for green waste that has to be put in paper bags. Most green waste is easy to carry, but some waste needs to be in paper bags before it can be carried efficiently. In all other cases, the green waste disposal fees are based on volume.  

Do we pick up soil and dirt?

  Unfortunately our  company does not haul away dirt and soil. Dirt and soil are extremely heavy material and a proper equipment is required to deal with it efficiently. This type of job is best left for landscaping companies. North Shore Transfer station imposes restrictions on quality and quantity of soil that we can dispose and often it is best left to the landscaping companies to deal with this type of material. However, it is natural for some of our clients to have some of their green waste mixed with a little bit soil. In those cases we do try to be reasonable.  

Does our West Vancouver Junk Removal company recycle?

  West Vancouver has very strict law regarding recycling. We recycle everything that is recyclable in West Vancouver. At the North Shore Transfer Station the city has inspectors watching every single rubbish disposal truck. If our  company disposes anything that is recyclable in the general junk pile, we are issued a big fine. Therefore, even if we did not care about the environment, we still cannot throw away recyclable materials. The following rubbish is mandatory for recycling in West Vancouver: Cardboard Metal Appliances Electronics Firewood Green Waste Dry wall Any wood that is not treated and it does not have nails in it  

Construction waste disposal for West Vancouver

  In most cases construction waste is different from the other general garbage in few characteristics. Weight is one of those characteristics. For example bathroom tiles are 3 to 4 times heavier than regular household rubbish. Since disposal fees at the North Shore Transfer Station are based on weight, our junk removal fees for West Vancouver have to be based on weight as well. Also your construction waste could be difficult to load onto our truck. In some cases, clients have bathroom tiles broken into small pieces in a big pile. If you have tiles that are broken, please place them in strong plastic bags or containers that are not heavier than 50lb. If you need the containers, we will keep them for you. One way to avoid extra disposal fees is to make our job less difficult. Often contractors don’t care about their clients future troubles with the rubbish they leave behind. Therefore, try reminding them to follow few rules when they are done with the construction materials. Ask them to create different rubbish piles for metal, dry wall, tiles, wood and cardboard. This will not require any extra labor on their behalf, but it will save you tons of money if you live in West Vancouver and you need a junk removal company. The type of construction waste is the other characteristic that determines pricing for junk disposal for West Vancouver. Dry wall is recycled in West Vancouver. Our company cannot simply dump the drywall with the other rubbish. West Vancouver has nasty fines for these types of actions. North Shore Transfer Station treats dry wall differently also when disposal fees are concerned. The disposal fee for dry wall is double what the other junk is charged. Therefore, if a client has all dry wall, he/she should expect double the disposal fees on our side. For West Vancouver, North Shore Transfer Station will make an exception for rubbish that has less than 2 sheets of dry wall. Then they will not charge us double and treat the dry wall as a regular garbage. Therefore, if you have 2 sheets or less of dry wall, we will not charge you extra. North Shore transfer Station does not accept concrete, stone and bricks. However, if you have small quantities, our company can get rid of it for you. Our West Vancouver Junk Removal company likes to deal with such materials in quantities less than 1-2 cubic yards.  

Doing junk removal yourself?

  Some people might decide to get rid of their rubbish themselves. All it takes is a truck and some labour.Right? In most cases, that will not be the case. There are so many types of rubbish and West Vancouver has rules for each type of junk. Each of the following types of junk has to be separated and in some cases has to be driven to different locations all over West Vancouver and Vancouver: Household rubbish, metal, appliances, mattress, box spring, electronics, dry wall, soil, rocks, concrete, cardboard, green waste, tires, paint, propane container and few others. You mix all these type of rubbish and dump them at the transfer station in West Vancouver and you will end up paying fines and adding so much to your labour that you will wish you paid a junk removal company to haul away your rubbish. There are even types of rubbish that the West Vancouver dump ground would not take. Those have to be driven all the way to delta. If you are seen dumping these at the transfer station, you will get fined and in some cases, banned from entering these disposal facilities. Most workers there spend 11 hour shifts working with this rubbish and they have zero tolerance for banned rubbish materials for health reasons. You don’t want to rent a truck, spend hours loading it and then finding out that you have can’t dump half of your rubbish because you have the wrong type of junk or you are at the wrong place.  

Renting a truck for your rubbish

  We have all seen the $19.95/day pick up trucks driving around West Vancouver. This is pretty good deal if it was true. However, this $19.95 doesn’t even come close to what you will pay for that truck rental while you are doing your junk removal. Renting those truck for doing junk removal in West Vancouver will cost you close to $85/day. However, there is another point that should be made. These rental pick up trucks are for small rubbish removal jobs. The transfer station is far from West Vancouver and if you have a big junk disposal job, you will end up driving back and forward few times. Each time you drive to the dump station in West Vancouver, you will most likely end up waiting on a line to enter for over 20 min.  

Labour and disposal fees

  This is the part you should fear the most. Junk Removal requires heavy labour and in most cases it is a dirty labour. Even for a small junk removal jobs, you will probably spend 2-3 hours of your day before you are done hauling your rubbish. The West Vancouver dump ground is extremely nasty and smelly. Without a mask, the rubbish fumes are almost unbearable. The ground is covered with rubbish and nails and you really have to be careful where you are driving. In conclusion, you have to make the final decision on who should do your rubbish removal if you live in West Vancouver. In most cases, you will save $20-$30, but you will lose few hours of your day.
