Welcome to our Shaughnessy junk removal page. We provide residential and commercial rubbish removal services for the city of Vancouver.

Our service fees are competitive and simple. However, we place our focus more on quality of service, than on having the lowest rates.

The rate for disposing single items, such as a couch, mattress, or a dresser, is in the area of $90. Each additional item will be disposed of with a 50% discount. Having more than few items, moves the rates into a different way of calculating total service cost.

Larger volumes of junk is calculated by how much volume is taken by the items in a 10 cubic yard truck. A cubic yard is 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet. An average size pickup truck is about 2-3 cubic yards. Therefore, each of our trucks, can take as much garbage, as 3 pickup trucks.

As a general rule, each cubic yard cost $45-$55. Most of our clients fill up our truck close to the half mark, which brings the cost to about $200-$250.

The best way to start the process is to give us a call. We can be reached on 604-910-7549. We will have few questions, which will allow us to get a better idea, how to service our Shaughnessy clients better. Here are some of the questions:

This type of service involves the removal and recycling of green material, such as trees, branches, grass, or any type of vegetation. Of recently, the city of Vancouver is also allowing clean wood to be recycled with the rest of the green vegetation. Any lumber that is free of chemicals and paint, can be classified as green.

You have probably noticed that your house is getting smaller with every passing year. The car has not seen the inside of your garage and you don’t even have an idea what is in most of those mysterious boxes. If this is your case, do not feel singled out. This is the natural situation of most of our clients.

After we are done clearing out your unwanted items, your will be making future plans when to call us again. Space is not simply an empty corner of a room. It puts the mind into a state of easy and orderliness.
