Junk & Rubbish Removal in Saint-Hubert

In many jurisdictions the householder shares liability if their waste ends up dumped — 'I paid a guy in a van' is not a defence. Protect yourself: use operators who are licensed/registered where that exists, get a receipt naming the company, and note the vehicle registration. Cheap unlicensed collectors are cheap because landfill fees are what they're skipping.

Trucks are quoted in fractions (minimum, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full) of a box bed that typically holds 10-15 cubic yards / 8-12 cubic metres. Crews eyeball your pile against the truck. To avoid disputes, ask what the truck's full capacity is and get the quoted fraction written on the job sheet before loading starts.

Send photos of the pile with something for scale, list large items individually, and mention access (floor, stairs, distance to parking). Volume-based quotes from photos are usually accurate within one price band; on-site quotes are worth it for whole-house clearances. Always confirm whether the quote includes labour, disposal fees and tax.

Standard refusals: hazardous waste (chemicals, solvents, fuel, wet paint), asbestos, gas bottles, batteries in quantity, medical waste and tyres in some markets. These need licensed specialist disposal. Fridges, mattresses, TVs and monitors are usually accepted but carry per-item surcharges because of recycling requirements.

Expect single items at CAD $100-$250, quarter truckloads $150-$325, half trucks $250-$550 and full truckloads $450-$900. Mattresses and fridges carry $20-$75 per-item eco/derefrigeration surcharges in most provinces.

Every province runs an electronics stewardship program with free drop-off depots (e.g. Recycle My Electronics locations), funded by the eco-fees you paid at purchase. Junk haulers will take e-waste too, but you're paying for the convenience of the trip, not the disposal.
