Junk & Debris Removal in Peterborough: what to expect

It's worth keeping the local housing in mind here โ€” The north and west ends are mostly newer subdivision housing.

About Peterborough homes

Peterborough is the gateway to the Kawarthas, and its housing reflects a mix of city and cottage-country life. The older streets near downtown and the Otonabee River hold century brick homes, while the north and west ends bring newer subdivisions. A lot of local work comes from retirees renovating to stay in their homes longer, plus the steady flow of updates that older housing needs.

Common questions

Do you actually work in my part of Peterborough?
Requests come in from right across Peterborough, not just the busiest streets. Put your postal code in the quote form and we'll confirm coverage right away.
How fast can I get a quote in Peterborough?
Most Peterborough requests get a response the same day, and anything urgent is flagged and treated that way. The more detail and photos you include, the more accurate the first quote is.
My Peterborough job is tiny. Will anyone take it?
That's exactly what we're for. "No job too small" isn't a slogan we drop on page two โ€” describe the fix, however minor, and you'll get a quote for it.
What won't you take?
Hazardous waste has its own legal disposal channels: paint, solvents, chemicals, propane tanks, and anything that might contain asbestos, like old duct wrap or certain floor tiles. We'll point you to your municipality's hazardous waste depot for those. Pretty much everything else โ€” furniture, wood, drywall, metal, appliances, e-waste โ€” loads fine.
How is junk removal priced?
Mainly by volume โ€” the fraction of a truck your load fills โ€” with adjustments for very heavy material and for carry difficulty. Photos are the shortcut: a couple of shots of the pile gets you a tight estimate without anyone visiting twice.
