The Cleanout Situations We Handle
Unlike standard single-item pickups, property cleanouts require speed, care, and attention to detail. We tailor our services to three main scenarios:
1. Landlord Turnovers & Evictions
When a tenant leaves behind a mountain of garbage, broken furniture, or abandoned electronics, every day the property sits full is a day of lost rental income. We provide rapid trash-out services to clear apartments, basement suites, and rental houses quickly, allowing you to bring in painters, contractors, and your next tenants without delay.
2. Family Estate Cleanouts
Clearing out a lifetime of belongings from a loved one’s home is both emotionally and physically exhausting. Our crew operates with utmost respect, care, and patience. We move efficiently through the home, ensuring that structural spaces are left completely clear and swept out, while handling the property with dignity.
3. Real Estate Pre-Sale Preparations
If you are a Realtor® or a homeowner looking to put a property on the Calgary housing market, clutter can severely hurt your valuation. We clear out old carpets, outdated furniture, backyard junk piles, and packed garages so your listing looks spacious, clean, and ready for open houses.
Flat-Rate, Volume-Based Pricing
Property cleanouts can vary drastically in scale. To keep things transparent, we charge strictly by how much space your items fill in our 18-yard truck box. There are no hidden trip fees, and labor is built right into the cost.
| Load size | From | Typical job |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum pickup | $70 | Small couch, BBQ, or mattress + box spring |
| 1/4 box | $175 | A few pieces of furniture or a small pile |
| 1/2 box | $300 | Garage corner or several household items |
| Full box | $500 | Residential full load |
| Demo / construction | $600 | Reno and demolition debris |
Note: Large estates or severe hoarding situations may require multiple truckloads. We will always confirm a firm, binding quote on-site before our crew begins lifting any items.
Timeline of a Property Cleanout
Phase 1: Photo Assessment & Booking
Text photos of the problem rooms to (403) 437-3100. Let us know details about property access (such as flights of stairs, narrow back alleys, or condo elevator restrictions) and your preferred timeline.
Phase 2: On-Site Price Lock
When our truck arrives, we look over the scope of work and give you a final price. Once approved, that number is locked in. If you are an out-of-province landlord or executor, we can coordinate this phase entirely via phone, photo updates, and digital invoicing.
Phase 3: Extraction
Crews gather, remove items and load them into the truck.
Phase 4: Landfill Delivery & Final Sweep
Residual waste is properly disposed of under City of Calgary landfill guidelines, usually utilizing the Spyhill Landfill for north-side properties or the East Calgary Landfill or Shepard Landfill for south-side cleanouts. Before we pack up our truck and leave, we sweep up the rooms and driveways where we worked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be physically present at the property during the cleanout?
No. Many landlords, property managers, and out-of-town estate executors prefer a hands-off approach. As long as we have confirmed access to the property (via a lockbox or a property manager letting us in), we can complete the entire job, text you before-and-after photos, and handle payment securely online.
Can you help separate personal valuables or paperwork from the junk?
We strongly recommend that families and landlords look through the property to remove critical documents, family heirlooms, and personal valuables before our arrival. However, if our crew uncovers obvious personal items (like photo albums, legal papers, or jewelry) during a bulk cleanout, we will immediately set them aside for you.
How quickly can you complete a full house cleanout?
Most standard rental or estate cleanouts can be completely loaded and hauled away within a single day. For extremely large hoarded properties or multi-load jobs, we will provide a clear multi-day timeline upfront during our initial assessment.
Are you insured to operate on commercial or residential properties?
Yes. Calgary Dump Runners is fully insured and bonded. Our crew is thoroughly trained to safely handle tight corners, heavy loads, and tricky stairwells without damaging your property's walls, door frames, or floors.
