CR Movers Inc
Junk removal
Junk removal in Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge by CR Movers' own crew. The Region of Waterloo collects bulky items once a month, three per house. For a basement, a shared house at the end of a lease or an office, a crew comes down the 401 from Brampton.
The Region or a crew
For a few pieces, wait for bulky item day: the Region of Waterloo collects once a month from eligible homes. For more than the limit, something too heavy or a date that will not wait a month, there are the Region's two waste management sites, and there is a crew.
Bulky item collection is once a month, on the day in your Waste Collection Calendar. The Region's list has couches and chairs up to six feet long, mattresses, tied carpet, bundled wood, and stoves, dryers and dishwashers with the doors taped shut.
One bulky item can weigh 200 pounds at most, so pool tables, cast iron bathtubs and pianos are not collected. Anything over the item limit stays at the curb, and garbage tags cannot be used for bulky items.
When the load is bigger than the limit or the date is sooner than the calendar. Around the universities, leases tend to turn over when a term ends, and three items a month does not empty a shared house.
Down the 401
Send a photo on WhatsApp with the address and the floor. We answer with an hourly rate and a crew size. On the day the crew drives out from Brampton, carries everything to the truck and takes it away.
This is the longest drive on our list: between about 75 and 90 km from 6 Tracey Blvd, depending on the city, most of it on the 401. The drive is part of the quote, so have the whole load ready for one visit: sorted, photographed and, in a building, with the elevator booked.
The do-it-yourself route is one of the Region's two waste management sites, one in Cambridge and one in Waterloo. Fees apply for all loads there, and Regional staff are not permitted to help you unload. The addresses are in the questions below.

From the Region of Waterloo, if your home is on its curbside collection. Bulky item collection is part of that service and runs once a month: three items for a single-family home, six for a duplex, ten for a small building of three to six units. Past those limits, every route has a fee.
Once a month, on the bulky item day in your Waste Collection Calendar. Set items at the end of the driveway by 7 a.m., and no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before. Couches, mattresses, tied carpet, bundled wood and appliances with the doors taped shut are on the list. Each bundle counts as one item.
Anything over 200 pounds: the Region names pool tables, cast iron bathtubs and pianos. Items above your limit stay at the curb with a sticker, and so does anything with a free or for sale sign on it. The list also caps couches and chairs at six feet long.
There are two, and the Region calls them waste management sites. The Cambridge site is at 201 Savage Drive and the Waterloo site is at 925 Erb Street West, Gate 2. Residential hours are Monday to Saturday. Fees apply for all loads, vehicles are weighed in and out, and only waste generated within Waterloo Region is accepted.
Yes, if you book while a crew is still free. Leases near the universities tend to end together, when a term ends, and the Region says its waste limits apply at all times, moving included. Send photos of every room and the date the keys go back.
Yes, all three cities. Crews reach Galt, Preston and Hespeler in Cambridge, and Kitchener and Waterloo beyond, along the 401 from our Brampton yard. We have no office or yard in Waterloo Region, so every job there is planned as one trip, with the load ready when the truck arrives.
It depends on the crew and the hours: you get an hourly rate and a crew size before you book, and you pay for the hours the job took. From Brampton it is about 85 km to Kitchener, and that drive is part of the quote.
Ask before you book, and ask anyone you call the same question. With CR Movers the hourly rate and the crew size are agreed before the crew comes. Kitchener-Waterloo is a long drive from our yard, so for a single item, bulky item day or one of the Region's sites is the better route.
CR Movers is CVOR registered and WSIB covered. Ask us for the current certificates when you book and we will send them with your quote.
