A plan for your pile

Finishing the project should include clearing the debris.

Mixed renovation material is hard to describe as one item. A photo-led quote gives you a specific plan for the pile left behind.

A quote based on what is actually there.

Send a photo of the whole pile and a close-up of the material. Include its approximate size, your ZIP code and a view of the access.

Mixed or heavy project debris.

Request a quote for the actual materials and quantity. A generic debris-pile price cannot establish the scope of your project.

Already in contractor bags?

The separate contractor-bag item can cover carryable bags of debris at 50 lb or less each, with no dirt or gravel. Describe uncertain contents to our team before choosing it.

Unknown or hazardous material.

Flag unknown contents, chemicals and suspected hazardous materials in your request. A photo request is not acceptance of every material, and this service does not promise remediation or demolition.

Construction and remodeling debris

Special rules apply

Construction material is split by the city's own rules. Bundled building lumber and carpet can go to the Refuse and Yard Waste Drop-Off Center for the per vehicle fee, while bricks, concrete blocks, masonry and railroad ties are refused on the special pickup route and sent to Millennium Waste.

City cost & eligibility
$25 per vehicle at the Refuse and Yard Waste Drop-Off Center, limited to the equivalent of a full-size pickup load per trip. Major credit cards are accepted and the city states that cash and personal cheques are no longer accepted. Bricks, concrete blocks, masonry and railroad ties are refused there in the special pickup rules and are directed to Millennium Waste instead.
When & how
At the drop-off centre at 13606 Knoxville Road, or at Millennium Waste for masonry, rather than on the special pickup route.
Get it ready
Tie building lumber and carpet in bundles no longer than four and a half feet and no heavier than 50 pounds, and keep masonry, railroad ties and concrete out of the city routes entirely. Each vehicle trip carries no more than the equivalent of a full-size pickup load, and the centre refuses hazardous waste, tires and appliances.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Bundle it to the published lengths

Lumber, carpet, limbs and branches are all measured the same way at the drop-off centre: no longer than four and a half feet and no heavier than 50 pounds, with anything under two inches in diameter tied into bundles with twine or rope. Each vehicle trip carries no more than the equivalent of a full-size pickup load.

Appliances, tires and masonry do not ride the city routes

The special pickup refuses appliances, used tires and household hazardous materials, and the drop-off centre refuses hazardous waste, tires and appliances. Bricks, concrete blocks, masonry and railroad ties are directed to Millennium Waste rather than through either city route, and the appliance programme handles appliances and used tires separately.
