We are unable to remove hazardous materials including paint, chemicals, motor oils, asbestos, propane tanks or medical-related waste. Please call our office if you have any questions or require further clarification. If you have materials that we cannot accept, we will do our very best to assist you with finding an alternative environmentally sound solution.

Unfortunately, our trucks are not licensed or insured to carry hazardous materials. We are properly registered with the Ministry of the Environment to haul non-hazardous materials legally. You can call your local recycling or waste management company or the City of Ottawa for further assistance on removal for this type of debris.

We charge by volume, not by how long it takes us to remove your junk. It depends on how much space your items takes up in our truck. Our trucks are one of the largest in the industry but not our prices. You will find our rates are very competitive and lower then many of our competitors. Our prices include all the hauling, loading, clean-up and disposal...no hidden fees! Heavy/dense materials compared to regular junk are measured differently. See the ‘Pricing’ page for more details.

Our rates are based on how much space your items will take up on our truck. Sizes vary so until we see what is to be removed, we can't provide you with an exact price. We are only able to give an rough estivate over the phone.

Upon the arrival of our team, simply indicate what you would like us to remove and a representative will assess the amount of junk and provide you with a FREE, no-obligation quote.. If you're pleased with the quote the team is prepared to begin the job right away!

We take great pride in being on time to every appointment but we must allow for unforeseen circumstances such as traffic or jobs that were larger than expected. Appointments are booked in two-hour slots to allow for this.

The truck team will call 15 to 30 minutes prior to their arrival to let you know they are on their way and when you can expect them.

Capital Junk believes strongly in helping the environment. A large percentage of the material removed from homes and businesses is either taken to a recycling centre or donated to local Ottawa charities. The remaining material is disposed of at a transfer station for further processing and recycling. We are proudly part of the City of Ottawa's Take It Back! Program. A great program where households can take used, 'hard to dispose of items' back to retailers and organizations who in turn reuses, recycles or disposes of them properly instead of going into local landfills.

Capital Junk is a company who has taken a positive stand towards helping the environment. Any good, quality household or office items, such as furniture, books, clothing, pictures, and so on are donated to local Ottawa charities; metal is separated and recycled as well as any paper and cardboard that we collect. We are also able to recycle wood and old car tires. Check out our 'Eco-Friendly Junk Removal' page for more on how Capital Junk is your environmentally friendly junk removal experts!

We do all the hauling, loading and clean up for you and our charges reflect only the volume of junk we remove. We only charge for what we take away. In most instances, when you rent a bin you have to pay for the entire volume, regardless of how much space you utilize. In many cases, others will throw junk into your bin leaving you with the cost of disposal. Our prices remain competitive with disposal bins, we recycle a lot more and provide all the labour!
