Furniture & Mattress Removal Ottawa

By the space your items take up in the truck, from a fraction of a load to a full one, which is how the trade prices it. You get a free on-site estimate in person first, because a photo hides the staircase. The number is written down before anything is lifted and covers the labour, the loading and the disposal. No hidden fees.

A single couch can be done in about forty minutes. The process is a walk of the route out, then padding, then loading. A two-person team is the usual crew because it is the efficient number for awkward pieces, one steering and one taking the weight. A full room runs to a couple of hours, and same day service is normal when the route has room.

You can. Measure the piece and the doorway first, take the legs and back off to cut the weight and bulk, clear the route of anything you could trip over, put sliders under it to glide without scratches, wrap delicate faces in moving blankets, use lifting straps, and agree who steps first. A dolly beats brute force on a flat run and stops helping at a staircase turn. That is a two-person afternoon, against an hour for us, insured.

No, and this is where advice written for other cities gets people stuck. Plenty of municipalities run scheduled bulk trash pickup days. Ottawa does not. An old couch or a mattress counts as one of your three items at the curb, so a bedroom set is two weeks of allowance.

Furniture in good, usable condition can be donated or sold, and we check before it is loaded rather than after. We work with donation centres in Ottawa directly, so wooden, leather and upholstered pieces with years left in them get a new home instead of a space in landfill. Mattresses are the common exception, because almost nobody takes those secondhand.

Most of it can still be recycled or repurposed. We recycle furniture past saving rather than making the haul straight to a hole, so wood, metal and cardboard come out first and what is left we dispose of at a licensed facility. Environmentally friendly is also the cheaper answer, which is why the price works as it does.

Both are real options. The franchises quote by truck fraction, offer same-day service, and some guarantee a two-hour arrival window. The task apps get you a pair of hands as early as today, cheaper until something is damaged, because the insurance question is yours rather than theirs. We are insured, WSIB compliant, and the guys who quote the job do it.

Our own team, not a contractor the company found that morning. Ottawa students, background-checked and in uniform, professional and careful about your floors. Good service here is quiet. Nothing scratched, the price the same at the end as the start, and the space back by lunchtime. That is what gets us highly recommended to friends, and it is why great service on a furniture job is mostly what does not happen.

Yes, and most people do. We remove furniture and everything around it, so appliances, a hot tub in the yard, the stuff in the garage since last year, or a whole house cleared before a closing date. Removal services on a moving deadline are worth booking early, and clearing for the future rather than a date works any day. Anything on the same run is one price.

Yes, sealed and handled separately from the rest of the load so nothing cross-contaminates. Tell us when you book so the crew arrives with the right bags and the truck is loaded in the right order. Wrapping is the one case where the city also wants a mattress bagged at the curb, so if you are setting one out yourself, that is the exception to the unbagged rule.
