What the work looks like in Alta Vista
Downsizing and estate cleanouts are the main junk removal jobs in Alta Vista. Post-war bungalows have full basements, garages or carports and sheds, and after fifty years they hold a lot. We work room by room with the family, set usable furniture aside for donation and send metal and appliances to recycling.
Some of these houses are being sold for a teardown or a full gut. In that case we clear the contents first, and if you are also booking the demolition, the site visit can cover both at once.
Most Alta Vista homes date from the post-war decades, which means plaster or early drywall, original hardwood under carpet, and a real chance of asbestos-containing materials. More about Alta Vista

Before work starts in Alta Vista
Junk removal needs no permit. If a bin has to go on the street rather than your driveway, the City requires a temporary encroachment permit, so we load to our trucks or keep bins on private property.
Most Alta Vista homes predate 1990, so plan on a hazardous materials survey before any strip-out or teardown. Large trees on and next to the lot can fall under Ottawa’s tree protection by-law, so check before demolition.
Disposal
Torn out. Hauled out.
Every job ends ready for the next trade. Here is where the debris goes.
Usable furniture is set aside for donation when you ask; metal, appliances and electronics go to recycling; and the rest goes to a licensed sorting facility. Paint, fuel, propane and chemicals go to the City’s household hazardous waste events instead.
On larger jobs, a roll-off bin from a licensed bin company sits on your property, and the bin company hauls it away and handles the tipping at its own facility.
On smaller jobs our crew loads our own trucks and hauls to the Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre at 106 Westhunt Drive in Carp, which sorts mixed construction and demolition debris for recycling and accepts commercial loads.
Wide Alta Vista lots usually take a bin on the driveway. The bin company hauls and tips it, and clean concrete from slabs and steps goes to aggregate recycling.
