Got questions?
We've got answers

We operate from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, seven days a week. For safety reasons, we try to avoid scheduling evening pickups. However, you can reach us anytime at hello@rethinkjunk.ca or 604.841.2026 for next-day booking inquiries.
Our team always calls or texts 15-30 minutes before arrival, so you know exactly when to expect us.
Most quotes are reviewed and sent within one business day. Complex or specialty items may take slightly longer to ensure accuracy.
While we aim to provide same-day and next-day service in our service areas, we appreciate at least 24 hours notice to better manage our trucks on the road. Simply call 604.841.2026 to speak with a representative. Our trained professionals will arrive at your convenience to handle the heavy lifting.
Yes, for many of our commercial properties or corporate clients, they prefer after-hour pickups. Please provide us with the details and at least 24 hours notice for arranging after-hour jobs.
Certain items, such as construction debris, fibreglass hot tubs, or renovation materials, may require additional handling fees. Disposal costs can also vary based on landfill rates and labour requirements. But don't worry - we always provide a free, no-obligation estimate upfront, so you'll know exactly what to expect before we begin.
Yes. While our pricing is transparent and consistent, a few situations may require adjustments. Your guaranteed price applies only to the items submitted in your photos and descriptions. Any extra items added on-site will be quoted separately through a clear, no-obligation change order process.
- Heavy Materials: Concrete, brick, soil, or shingles can only be loaded up to one foot deep to comply with truck weight restrictions.
- Specialty Items: Pianos, hot tubs, sheds, gazebos, pool tables, trampolines, decks, and similar or complex items.
- Extra Labour: Disassembly, bagging, or other preparation work may incur a small hourly fee.
- Labour Without Removal: Our team can assist with moving items within your home for an additional charge.
Your Rethink Dashboard estimate will always outline these costs upfront, so there are no surprises.
NOTE: Due to the size, weight, and labour required, Heavy Materials or Specialty Items may need an on-site visit before removal. We’ll provide a free in-person estimate and do our best to complete the removal during our first visit. However, same-day removal cannot always be guaranteed.
Our guaranteed price promise applies only to the items and details submitted through the Rethink Dashboard, including photos and a brief description. If additional items are added, new services requested, or extra labour required, we’ll review and confirm any adjustments before starting the job.
We believe in full transparency. Any out-of-scope additions will be priced fairly through a simple, no-obligation change order so you always know what to expect.
Yes. The minimum load we’ll pick up is roughly the size of a standard washing machine. Minimum charge: $150.00
We haul away anything non-hazardous from homes, businesses, and storage units, including furniture, appliances, electronics, mattresses, scrap metal, yard waste, and more.
While we remove almost anything, some hazardous or restricted materials are off-limits. Items such as asbestos, solvents, medical waste, and oil drums can’t be accepted at landfills or recycling centres due to safety regulations. These materials must be taken to an approved household or commercial hazardous waste facility in your area.
Not necessarily. While we prefer to meet onsite, we understand that it isn’t always possible. If all removal items are accessible and you’ve approved your Rethink Dashboard estimate or phone quote, our team can complete the work in your absence and send your receipt by email or text.
Yes, please. For safety and liability reasons, we cannot disconnect appliances from utilities ourselves. Please ensure your fridge, stove, or washer is safely disconnected from water, gas, or electricity before we arrive. Once that’s done, we’ll handle the rest — removing it safely without damaging your floors or walls.
Our dump trucks measure approximately 12 × 7.5 × 6 feet with a 20-cubic-yard capacity, holding the equivalent of about four standard pickup truck loads, or the contents of a small one-bedroom apartment.
Typically, we have two haulers per truck. Larger or more complex projects may require additional staff to complete the work safely and efficiently.
We accept cash, Interac e-Transfers, and cheques. Visa and Mastercard are also accepted, with a 3% surcharge. Sorry, no pesky American Express cards. Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT) are available only for approved business accounts with Net 30-day terms.
