Up the stairs is our job
The reason a basement fills up is that clearing it means carrying everything back up the stairs, and that is exactly the part we take off your hands. We bring the totes, the furniture and the awkward long items up and out, protect the stairwell walls, and you never lift a box.
Garages have their own trap: the heavy, low-value stuff, half-full paint, an old workbench, a dead lawnmower, seized tools. We sort what is hazardous from what is not so each goes where it belongs.
What needs special handling, and what doesn't
Old paint, solvents, propane tanks and automotive fluids are household hazardous waste and cannot ride in a general junk load; they go to the Region's hazardous-waste stream. Flag them and we route them correctly. Everything else, the furniture, the boxes, the scrap, is standard volume-priced junk.
Getting rid of it in Kitchener and Waterloo Region
A packed basement or double garage is often a half to a full truck, which at the Region of Waterloo drop-off sites at 925 Erb Street West in Waterloo and 201 Savage Drive in Cambridge means real tipping weight where there is a $15 minimum charge per load and mixed, unsorted loads are billed at the highest rate and unsorted loads pay the top rate. We separate metal, wood and household hazardous waste (the Region takes those last two on their own streams under By-Law 17-007) so you are not billed landfill rates for things that had a cheaper home.
What garage and basement cleanout costs in Kitchener
A typical single-garage or basement clear runs about $200 to $600 depending on how full it is and how much is heavy scrap. It is priced by the truck space it fills, with the carrying up the stairs included, and the number is locked before we start.
| Truck space | What it holds | Typical all-in price |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum / single item | A couch, a fridge, a mattress | $90 to $150 |
| 1/4 truck | A small room or a few big items | $200 to $300 |
| 1/2 truck | A garage or a bedroom set | $320 to $450 |
| 3/4 truck | A basement or a small cleanout | $450 to $600 |
| Full truck | A whole-home or estate cleanout | $550 to $750 |

Frequently asked questions
How much does a garage or basement cleanout cost in Kitchener?
Usually $200 to $600 depending on volume and how much heavy scrap is in it. It is priced by truck space, stairs included, and locked before we start.
Do I have to carry everything up from the basement?
No. Carrying it up and out is the job. We protect the stairwell and you do not lift a box.
Can you take paint, propane and old chemicals?
Those are household hazardous waste and cannot go in a general load. Flag them and we route them to the Region's hazardous-waste stream correctly.
Do you clear scrap wood and reno leftovers?
Yes, scrap wood, drywall offcuts, metal and general reno debris, separated so the recyclable streams are kept apart.
Can you do it in one visit?
Most garages and basements are cleared in a single visit. For a packed double garage we bring the crew to match.
Will you sweep up after?
Yes, we leave the space broom-swept, not just emptied.
