This economy is not in a good place for Blackie's like this to be employed in a position where they do nothing all day collect a paycheck and refuse to remove junk from homes which is their jobs and misleading in the company name.Īnd in the end if you turn your back they will leave your property without advising you that there are two little boys and cannot take any of the junk even the stuff outside that could easily have been moved to the curb for bulk pickup. They have made my move a huge setback due to their lack of work ethic. I would never hire or recommend this company. I am trying to stop anybody who needs to actually get these things accomplished and not mess around with Millennial sent out that do not want to work. If you have any sort of time restrictions, you will be disappointed if you set an appointment and expect them to complete what is Promised on the booking appointment call. They will not come in your home and remove any sort of furniture or items that needs to be removed to alleviate any fees you may incur after move out unless the items are pristine and disinfected even if the home is due for complete remodel and the new owner will not care if there is dirt in the home.

They will charge you at least $300 plus tax and fees for stuff outside that bulk pickup would gladly pick up for free. They will waste your time and tell you they'll come and remove it all and only take what is outside providing it is nowhere near any sort of dirt to put on there truck and remove. Do not hire this company if you actually need to remove old furniture and anything upon move out that needs to go in order to not be charged for leaving anything behind for the new owner. This is the exact opposite of what the initial phone call to set up the appointment and what was told they would do upon arrival. I had them show up at my house yesterday to tell me what they would and would not take. They will refuse to take your junk if it is not extremely clean and disinfected no matter what. They will send to millennial boys to your door fitting the Ken doll description one blonde and one brunette to satisfy all preferences on the outside. Contrary to the name of the company, do not be deceived. This option exists in Burnaby and New Westminster, although there doesn’t appear to be a public price list.This company will not pick up your junk. If your city doesn’t have a spring cleanup program (where everybody can put large items outside their house for disposal once a year), consider calling your city to see if they’ll do a one-time pick-up.In Metro Vancouver, the dump fee is only a minimum of $10-$20. If you or someone you know has a truck, you can drive your item(s) to the landfill yourself.In the future, for disposing large household items, I would suggest considering some other alternatives that I hadn’t originally explored: (Presumably they know their fee is comparatively very high, so they have to explain that you are getting all these things you didn’t think about.) Eventually, I called my favourite handyman and paid about half the amount, although we didn’t fully itemize the cost as he also helped me with something else in my place.ġ-800-GOT-JUNK is probably worth it for other types of disposal jobs, but in this case their price was much too high.

I was quoted a rate of $182 in Burnaby, which I was told includes labour, gas, disposal fees, and insurance for 2 workers. Then I looked into 1-800-GOT-JUNK they don’t advertise their fees, so I had to call in. In my apartment building, it is frowned upon to leave junk in the garbage room even if you are willing to pay for it.įirst, I tried listing the couch on Craigslist for free, but nobody called. My 3-seat couch recently fell apart and I needed to responsibly dispose of it.
