In Richmond
What the work looks like in Richmond
Farm and outbuilding cleanups are the main junk removal job around Richmond: barns and drive sheds holding old equipment parts, lumber, fencing, tires and household items moved out of the house years ago. We separate scrap metal for recycling and set aside reclaimed wood or usable items when you ask.
In the village and the subdivisions around it, the work is garages, basements and moves. Older village homes often have low basements and narrow stairs, so everything is carried out by hand.
Richmond was founded in 1818 as a military settlement on the Jock River, was incorporated as a village in 1850, joined Goulbourn Township in 1974 and became part of Ottawa in 2001. More about Richmond

Before work starts in Richmond
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.
Barns and silos do not need a City demolition permit; houses, garages and most other buildings do (ottawa.ca). Near the Jock River, check with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority first.
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.
Bins on rural Richmond lots go on firm ground away from wells and septic beds, sized so they are not overloaded. Smaller jobs load straight to our trucks.
