Junk Removal Ottawa: A Complete 2026 Guide to Stress-Free Cleanouts

Whether you're clearing a garage, emptying a rental, renovating a basement, or sorting through an estate, junk removal in Ottawa shouldn't be the most stressful part of your week. The right team shows up on time, hauls everything in one trip, sweeps up after themselves, and disposes of items responsibly — without you ever lifting a couch.

That's exactly what Aria Moving Group has built our reputation on. As one of Ottawa's most trusted moving and junk removal companies, we serve homeowners, landlords, contractors and property managers across the National Capital Region with same-day pickups and transparent flat-rate pricing.

This 2026 guide explains what Ottawa junk removal actually costs, what we haul, what we don't, and how to book the fastest cleanout in the city.

What Is Junk Removal — and How Is It Different from Garbage Pickup?

Curbside garbage collection is great for weekly trash, but it stops short of bulky, awkward, or oversized items. Junk removal in Ottawa handles everything the City of Ottawa won't take on a regular pickup day — old furniture, broken appliances, mattresses, renovation debris, basement clutter, hot tubs and full property cleanouts.

Aria Moving Group provides the truck, the labour, and the disposal. You point at what needs to go, and our uniformed team does the lifting, loading, and hauling. Most jobs are done in 30 minutes to 2 hours.

How Much Does Junk Removal Cost in Ottawa?

Ottawa junk removal pricing is almost always based on volume — how much space your items take up in our truck. Aria Moving Group uses transparent flat rates so you know the price before we start loading:

• Single Item Pickup: $129–$179 (one couch, mattress, fridge, or treadmill)
• Quarter Truck: $199–$249 (small bedroom or office cleanout)
• Half Truck: $349–$449 (garage or basement cleanout)
• Three-Quarter Truck: $499–$579 (multi-room cleanout)
• Full Truck: $599–$699 (whole-home or estate cleanout)

Pricing includes labour, fuel, the truck, disposal fees, and final cleanup. There are no hidden surcharges and no by-the-hour billing — what we quote on site is what you pay.

What Aria Moving Group Hauls Away

If two of our movers can carry it, we'll take it. Common items we remove for Ottawa customers include:

Furniture & Household

• Couches, sectionals, recliners, loveseats
• Mattresses and box springs (any size)
• Dressers, dining tables, bed frames, bookshelves
• Office desks, filing cabinets, ergonomic chairs

Appliances & Electronics

• Refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, washers, dryers
• BBQs, microwaves, air conditioners
• TVs, computers, printers, e-waste

Renovation & Construction Debris

• Drywall, flooring, tile and cabinetry
• Bathroom and kitchen tear-outs
• Deck and fence demolition debris

Yard, Garage & Basement

• Yard waste, branches, soil, sod
• Garage clutter, paint cans (empty), tires (limited)
• Storage room cleanouts and abandoned tenant items

Specialty Cleanouts

• Estate and downsizing cleanouts
• Hoarding sensitivity cleanouts (handled with discretion)
• Foreclosure and rental property cleanouts
• Office and commercial space clearings

What we don't haul: hazardous materials such as paint thinner, motor oil, fuel, propane tanks, asbestos, biohazards or live ammunition. The City of Ottawa's Take It Back! program covers most of these — we're happy to point you in the right direction.

Eco-Friendly Disposal Across Ottawa

Throwing everything in a landfill is the easy way out — and it's not how we operate. Aria Moving Group sorts your junk into three streams:

1. Donate. Gently used furniture, appliances and clothing go to local Ottawa partners like Habitat for Humanity ReStore, the Salvation Army, and Helping with Furniture.
2. Recycle. Metals, electronics, mattresses, and clean construction materials are diverted to recycling depots across Ottawa.
3. Dispose responsibly. Whatever can't be salvaged goes to City of Ottawa-approved transfer stations — never illegal dump sites.

It typically takes us a few extra minutes per job, but it keeps thousands of pounds of usable goods out of landfill every month — and it's the right way to serve our city.
