Defining rubbish removal services

Since the city of Vancouver does not pick up large items, or large volumes, with their garbage collection service, residents, and businesses are required to take care of such scenarios themselves. Hence the need for a private hauling industry for Vancouver and the surrounding cities, such as Burnaby, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and Coquitlam. To simplify this point, anything that you cannot fit into your garbage bin, or you are not allowed to mix with your garbage, will require you to hire this type of service.

Cost of junk removal for West Side

Later we will discuss more the large spectrum of rates between different waste removal companies, and you will learn, as to why you should avoid the extremes.

Larger pick up jobs are priced a little differently, but nonetheless, it is still easy to understand. After you move into the need for a company to haul away more than few items, then it is better for rates to be based on volume. It easier for the client to understand, and also it is actually cheaper rate, per item.

For instance, the average truck size for most garbage removal companies is about 10 cubic yards. The company sends their workers and they load, whatever you have pilled to disposal. If the truck gets filled up about half way, then you will be presented with a bill in the range of $220-$250. This covers everything, and you have to make sure that it does, for some companies will try to play little last-minute extra charges. We will cover this later.

A full load, then would be around $450-$500, depending on the type of waste that you have. It would be also easier if you think of cost as $45-$50 per cubic yard.

There are exceptions to these rates in scenarios, when the items are of a heavy nature, or they carry extra recycling fees, which are imposed by the city of Vancouver.
