Hazardous Material
If there are hazardous materials in scope of the clean up, please contact us as additional rates may apply. Please see the link here for items which may be considered to be hazardous.
Where do the items end up?
We aim to divert as much as possible from landfills. Usable items are delivered to local charities, shelters, community organizations or others who can use them, instead of going to the landfill.
What if my load is larger or smaller than a full trailer?
We always recommend getting a free quote for our services. We appreciate however that this is not always possible. In cases when our estimate or quote is too high, we simply reduce the actual charge to match the nearest 1/4 trailer increment (see prices).
Do you offer cleaning services?
We offer limited cleaning as part of our removal service. While it is not as thorough as a proper maid service, we aim to leave the area ready to use whenever possible. Note: Our cleaning services use EcoFriendly products and the choice to use alternatives is left in the hands of each cleaning specialist.
Do you offer moving services?
