Parksville junk removal starts at $125 and tops out at $850 for a full 15-yard trailer, with an estimate before anything gets loaded and the final charge based on what actually goes in the trailer. Parksville sits inside our core service area, on regular runs from our Nanaimo yard, and while there is no separate travel fee for Parksville, a fuel surcharge can still apply depending on the location and the job. We do all the carrying, and whatever can be donated or recycled goes there before the landfill.
A lot of our Parksville work is downsizing: a house full of furniture heading to a condo or a smaller place, and forty years of garage shelves that will not be making the move. We are comfortable working at your pace, whether that is one decisive afternoon or a room at a time over a couple of visits. Pieces in good shape go to charity, not the dump, and we can tell you which is which as we load.
BeforeAfterParksville, French Creek and Nanoose Bay are on our regular runs up the old highway, so ask us what we have open when you call. Text a photo of the pile and an estimate comes back quickly. The load price covers the lifting, the hauling, disposal fees and taxes, the final charge follows what actually goes in the trailer, and we sweep the spot clean before we pull away.
Nothing needs to be moved outside before we arrive. The crew walks the job with you, goes over the estimate against what is actually there, and only then starts loading. Final pricing is based on actual loaded volume, with weight, labour and applicable surcharges considered. We carry everything ourselves, from a back bedroom or a crawlspace to the far end of the yard, and the spot gets swept before we pull away.
A photo sent ahead gets you an accurate estimate before anyone drives out. Worth mentioning at that point: anything heavy or awkward to reach, and any items with their own disposal charges, such as fridges and freezers, mattresses and box springs, tires or propane tanks. Stairs and long carries can add labour beyond the included first hour. Everything we can see is raised at the estimate, and anything that only becomes clear once we start is raised with you at the time.
Downsizing produces a lot of genuinely good furniture, and it does not belong in a landfill. Usable pieces and housewares go to charity, metal is separated for scrap, electronics reach the right recycling depot, and mattresses go to a facility that strips them for materials. Only what is truly finished gets tipped. The sorting is part of the load price, and we can tell you where things went if you want to know.

Straight answers, the same ones we give on the phone.
Pickups start at our $125 minimum. Loads are priced by trailer space: $300 for a quarter of the 15-yard trailer, $500 for a half, $675 for three quarters and $850 for a full load. That covers lifting, hauling, disposal fees and taxes, you get an estimate before we load, and the final charge follows the volume and material actually loaded. Depending on the items, their weight, the access and where you are, additional charges can apply. Tell us what you have and we will walk through your situation first.
It depends on the day and the job, so call or text and ask what we have open. Parksville is a core area on our regular runs from Nanaimo, so a trailer is heading your way most days of the week, and we are open 7 days, 6am to 8pm.
Yes, downsizing is one of the most common reasons Parksville calls us. We take what is not making the move, work around what is, and route usable furniture and housewares to donation. If you want to clear the house in stages, we can come back, each visit is simply priced by its own load size.
Yes, both are on the same runs as Parksville, on the same load rates. Call or text and we will tell you what we have open, and any travel or fuel surcharge is quoted before the work.
We prioritise donation and recycling wherever items are suitable, accepted and practical. Usable furniture, appliances and household goods are offered to local charities, metals and recyclables get separated out, and only what genuinely has no other home goes to the landfill. That sorting is included in the price, not an extra.
Furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances including fridges and freezers, electronics and TVs, hot tubs, yard waste and brush, renovation and demolition debris, scrap metal, garage and shed contents, and general household junk. We also demolish sheds, decks and fences and haul the debris away. The main exclusions are liquid paint and fuels, asbestos and commercial chemical waste, though hazardous and contaminated cleanouts are offered as a separate specialised service.
No. We take it from wherever it sits, including upstairs rooms, crawlspaces and the back of the property. There is no need to bag, sort or carry anything in advance, and no need to be able to lift. Pile it up if that suits you, though the price follows the volume either way.
The load price covers lifting, hauling, disposal fees, taxes and the first hour of labour. Additional labour beyond that is $100 per hour per load. Some items carry specialty disposal charges, including mattresses and box springs, tires, propane tanks, unusually heavy materials and appliances needing special handling. Anything that applies is identified before the job begins. Extra charges can apply for weight, specialty items, access or travel, so ask us about your specific situation and we will lay it out before anything is booked.

Four steps. First the free estimate: call, text or send photos of the pile and we will come back to you with a number. Second, we arrive when we said we would. Third, the crew walks the job with you, goes over the estimate, and only then does every bit of the lifting and hauling from wherever the junk sits. Fourth, everything is sorted for donation, recycling or disposal, and the space gets swept before we leave. Final pricing is based on actual loaded volume, with weight, labour and applicable surcharges considered.
The first hour of labour is included in the load price. Beyond that, additional labour is $100 per hour, per load. That comes up on jobs spread over several floors, long carries from the truck, or items that need heavy sorting or taking apart before they will move. Anything like that is talked through at the estimate where the conditions are known, and raised with you on the day if it only becomes clear once we are working. Depending on the items, their weight, the access and where you are, additional charges can apply. Tell us what you have and we will walk through your situation first.
