Q. Are you licensed to do this work?
A. Owners, trucks and employees are fully licensed and insured.

Q. I really need this job done but it can only be after hours. Can you do that?
A. Contact us and we'll be happy to discuss your options. It is unsafe for our drivers to do jobs when it is dark. Special arrangements can be made if required.

Q. What do you do with the junk?
A. It depends on what you have. We will take some items to the transfer station and the rest to the dump. We are not a salvaging company or charity. We do our best to recycle as much junk as we can.

Q. Why can't you take hazardous materials?
A. Drivers and trucks are not licensed to carry hazardous materials. Call your local recycling or waste management hotline for further assistance.

Q. Can you move my stuff from one location to another?
A. We are not licensed to carry items for the purpose of moving them. The truck is a "junk" truck and is also dirty inside. We can only take away any items you no longer need.

Q. Why would I use your service rather than a dumpster?
A. Two people come and do all the labour and clean up. We charge based on the volume that items take up in our truck, and there are over 12 different price increments. Dumpsters sit on your property and you have to do all the loading and clean up yourself. You also pay for the entire bin, no matter how much you fill.
