Junk removal companies charge according to the amount of junk they remove. How can you determine how much you’ll have to pay?
The majority of junk removal companies in Ottawa charge per volume. We cost you based on the amount of room your items take in our trucks in simple terms. We only deviate from this principle if we work on a project that requires unusual circumstances. It is possible to factor in the weight, location, and additional work in such instances. In this instance, we’ll assume that you have general construction or household debris cleared from your residence or an easily accessible apartment construction.
First and foremost, the amount of rubbish you own determines the cost of your services. In reality, we aren’t sure. Sometimes, we’ll be able to make an educated guess on the phone based on your information. We can’t give you an estimate without inspecting all of the items you need to remove. It is the reason every junk removal company offers free estimates. Here are some details that could help you get an idea of the volume of your junk:
Most dumpsters and trucks are approximately 8 feet wide and 5 feet tall. To provide you with a reliable basis, we kept the two dimensions at a fixed position as we extended the length, measured in feet, in the cubic yard increments that you can expect to hear from service providers:
| Cubic Yards | Feet |
| 2 | 8 x 5 x 1.6 |
| 5 | 8 x 5 x 3.375 |
| 10 | 8 x 5 x 6.75 |
| 15 | 8 x 5 x 10 |
| 20 | 8 x 5 x 13.5 |
| 30 | 8 x 5 x 20.25 |
| 40 | 8 x 5 x 27 |
Why do cubic yards matter? Cubic yards are the most common measurement that the waste industry employs in assessing the importance. It can help you envision how big the truck/container you’re trying to put in use, as well as multiply the size of your possessions. When looking around for rubbish removal services, always inquire about the price of the cubic yard. In this way, you can make an apples-to-apples comparison to assure yourself of the best price when comparing costs.
