Junk removal

Junk removal in Oakville,
before the house is listed.

Junk removal in Oakville by CR Movers' own crew, on moving day or on its own. Halton Region takes three bulk items every other week at the curb. A basement, a garage or a whole house going on the market is a job for a crew.

The curb or a crew

How do you get rid of junk in Oakville?

Start with the curb. Halton Region runs waste collection in Oakville, and a house can set out up to three bulk items every other week with the garbage. For what the Region leaves behind, or a load that cannot wait, a crew comes.

01

What Halton collects

Bulk waste goes out with the garbage, once every other week. Halton's list covers couches, chairs, tables, carpet, toilets and dismantled wood. Mattresses and box springs have to be wrapped in plastic.

  • Three bulk items per collection
  • At the curb by 7 a.m.
  • Mattresses wrapped in plastic
02

What it does not

Renovation debris, electronics, tires, auto parts and mixed piles are not bulk waste in Halton. Metal items and appliances are a separate pickup, by appointment, and the Region says that can take two to three weeks.

  • No building or demolition debris
  • No electronics, tires or auto parts
  • Appliances by appointment only
03

When a crew makes sense

The curb only works for what you can carry to it. A basement of furniture, a full garage, a family home emptied for a sale, a closing date next week: that is a crew, a truck and an hourly rate agreed first.

  • Carried up from the basement
  • Whole houses before a listing
  • With your move, or on its own

How a junk run to Oakville works.

Send a photo on WhatsApp and the address. We come back with an hourly rate and a crew size, and the drive from Brampton is inside that quote. On the day the crew lifts, loads and takes it away.

Every crew and truck goes out from 6 Tracey Blvd in Brampton, about 40 km from central Oakville, down the 410 and the 403 to the QEW. Bronte, Glen Abbey, River Oaks, Old Oakville and Joshua Creek all get the same crew on the same terms.

Oakville has a lot of large detached houses, and a large house holds a lot. If yours is being cleared because it is selling, the same crew can move what you keep, and what is not ready for the next place can go to our partner Key Storage.

To haul it yourself, Halton Region runs the Halton Waste Management Site at 5400 Regional Road 25 in Milton, open Monday to Saturday. The Region charges by the load or by weight, and its attendants are not permitted to help you unload.

Does Halton Region pick up furniture in Oakville?

Yes, within limits. Halton collects bulk waste once every other week with the garbage, up to three items per collection, set at the curb by 7 a.m. Couches, chairs, tables and wrapped mattresses are on Halton's bulk waste list. Additional items are not collected, so a full room takes several collections.

What will Halton not take at the curb in Oakville?

Hazardous waste, electronics, tires, automobile parts, building and demolition debris, mixed waste piles, propane tanks, soil and rocks: all are on Halton's list of unacceptable bulk materials. Metal items and appliances are collected separately, by appointment, booked online or through 311. Bulk items should not be piled or boxed.

Can you clear a whole house in Oakville before it is listed?

Yes. Clearing a house before a sale is a job our own crew takes on: the basement, the garage, the furniture that is not going to the next place. Send photos room by room and we come back with an hourly rate and a crew size. What you keep can be moved by the same crew.

Can you empty a family home in Oakville?

Yes, the same way as any junk run. We take what is not being kept: sofas, mattresses, appliances, the basement and the garage. Sort first if you can, and mark what stays. Anything the family has not decided on can go to our partner Key Storage, who set the storage terms.

How much does junk removal cost in Oakville?

It depends on the crew and the hours: junk removal is billed by the hour, and you get the hourly rate and the crew size before the crew comes. The drive from our Brampton yard is part of the quote. More in our junk removal cost guide.

What is the cheapest way to remove junk in Oakville?

The curb, when the load fits Halton's rules: three bulk items every other week with your regular garbage. Next is driving it to the Halton Waste Management Site in Milton yourself. A crew is paid work, and earns it when there are stairs, a houseful or a deadline.

What is the minimum charge for junk removal?

Ask when you send the photo. The hourly rate and the crew size are agreed before the crew comes, so you know the terms for a small load before you book. Oakville is about 40 km from our Brampton yard, and that drive counts for more on a short job.

Do I tip the junk removal crew?

Tipping is optional. The bill is the hours the job took at the rate agreed before we came, and a tip is separate and up to you. More in our guide to tipping movers in Canada.
