Calgary Basement Renovation Cleanups
Basement developments are incredibly common across Calgary's newer suburbs and established neighborhoods alike. If you are a homeowner tackling a DIY build or a contractor finishing a basement suite, we routinely load, haul, and clear away typical renovation waste:
- Drywall & Gypsum Board: Cut-offs, sheets, and board scraps cleanly packed and hauled.
- Framing & Lumber: Leftover 2x4s, OSB sheets, plywood, and pressure-treated wood offcuts.
- Flooring Materials: Ripped-out carpets, underlay, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) scraps, hardwood boards, and old subfloors.
- Tile & Masonry: Broken ceramic or porcelain tile, hardened thinset, grout bags, and backer board remnants.
- Fixtures & Demolition Scrap: Old bathtubs, vanities, toilets, drop-ceiling tiles, and packaging cardboard.
You don't need to risk damaging your vehicle or sorting materials into public bins. Point to the pile in your basement or garage, and our team will handle the heavy carrying.
Commercial Debris Hauling & Site Clearances
Beyond residential basements, we offer reliable, on-demand hauling for light commercial projects, retail strip-outs, and office renovations. We work seamlessly alongside project managers, property owners, and tradespeople to provide an alternative to bulky, slow roll-off bin rentals.
- Retail & Office Strip-Outs: Removal of old commercial carpeting, metal studs, ceiling grids, and retail shelving displays.
- Contractor Overflow: Quick on-site cleanups when a job site doesn't have space for a metal bin, or when a project requires immediate same-day debris clearance.
- Property Management Cleanups: Clearing out construction materials left behind by commercial tenants or tradespeople.
We offer corporate invoicing, flexible scheduling to accommodate off-hours work, and consistent communication so your project stays within its timeline.
Construction Debris Pricing
Renovation waste is significantly heavier and denser than standard household junk, which requires distinct handling and separate city landfill fees. Our construction pricing is transparent and volume-based using our heavy-duty 18-yard truck box.
- Minimum Construction Pickup: $100 – Ideal for a small pile of drywall cut-offs, a few 2x4s, or a couple of rolls of old carpet.
- 1/4 Truck Load (Heavy Material): $225 – Great for minor bathroom demolitions or tidy basement framing leftovers.
- 1/2 Truck Load (Heavy Material): $375 – Covers a substantial pile of mixed renovation debris, carpet, drywall, and scrap lumber.
- Full Truck Load (Full Construction Box): $600 – Built for full-scale basement development trash-outs, major kitchen overhauls, or commercial retail strip-outs.
Note: Exceptionally dense materials like heavy concrete chunks, brick, dirt, or wet tile mortar can strictly limit truck weight capacities. Please specify if your pile contains heavy masonry so we can quote accurately.
Navigating Calgary Landfill Regulations Safely
The City of Calgary enforces strict rules regarding how construction and demolition waste must be managed. When you hire us, you can rest assured that your job site remains fully compliant:
Clean Drywall / Gypsum Rules
Calgary landfills require drywall to be separated and managed carefully to keep it out of regular waste streams wherever possible. We ensure your drywall scrap is brought to designated areas at the Spyhill or Shepard Landfills for appropriate processing.
Prohibited Industrial Materials
Please note that we cannot haul hazardous commercial materials, including asbestos insulation, wet industrial chemicals, hot roofing tar, or contaminated soil. If your older property is undergoing an asbestos abatement, those materials must be managed by a specialized hazardous waste contractor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you pick up construction debris while my crews are actively working?
Yes. We frequently coordinate with contractors to load up debris piles as they accumulate, keeping your workspace clear of trip hazards. If the pile is accessible in a garage, driveway, or alleyway, your crew doesn't even need to stop working while we load.
Why is construction waste priced differently than regular household junk?
Construction debris like tile, drywall, and lumber is significantly heavier and costlier to dump than standard household goods like old mattresses or plastic toys. The City of Calgary charges distinct commercial tipping rates by weight for construction and demolition materials, which is factored directly into our flat rates.
Do you offer multi-load discounts for large renovation projects?
Absolutely. If your commercial site or full-home development requires multiple truckloads over a few days or weeks, let us know upfront. We can establish custom multi-load pricing to fit your project budget.
Are you fully insured to step onto an active construction site?
Yes. Calgary Dump Runners is fully insured, carrying comprehensive liability coverage to operate safely on both residential renovations and active commercial job sites. Our crew prioritizes safety, wears appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and protects your property's entryways.
