About Our Household Garbage Removal Service
Sometimes the trash just gets ahead of you — after a big tidy, a move, a party, or simply months of accumulation that the weekly collection cannot keep up with. We clear out the household garbage and clutter that piles up faster than the curb can take it: bagged trash, broken household items, old toys, small furniture, boxes, and the general mix of stuff that fills a basement or spare room. If you landed here looking for your city's garbage collection schedule, see the City vs. Private Pickup guide below — then call us when the city won't take it, missed you, or you can't wait until next week. We load it all in one trip so you are not making a dozen dump runs or waiting weeks to put a few extra bags out at a time. You point to what goes, and we handle the rest.

Household junk is priced by volume, so a few bags and a couple of items is just the minimum, while a full-room declutter is a partial truckload. There is no per-bag fee and no surcharge for stairs — you pay for the space the load fills.
We collect from anywhere in the home — basement, attic, spare rooms — so there is no need to haul anything up to the garage or curb first. Just clear a walking path if you can.
We pull recyclables and donatable goods out of every load so usable items and materials are diverted, and only true garbage goes to disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions — Household Garbage Removal in Bowmanville
How much does household garbage removal cost in Bowmanville?
Household Garbage Removal in Bowmanville starts at our $55 minimum and is priced at $35 per cubic yard, so you only pay for the space your load takes in the truck. Household junk is priced by volume, so a few bags and a couple of items is just the minimum, while a full-room declutter is a partial truckload. There is no per-bag fee and no surcharge for stairs — you pay for the space the load fills.
Which Bowmanville neighbourhoods do you cover for household garbage removal?
We provide household garbage removal throughout Bowmanville, including Downtown Bowmanville, Northglen, Aspen Springs and Waverly. Most jobs are scheduled within 24-48 hours, and same-day service is available across Bowmanville.
How is this different from my city's garbage pickup?
Municipal collection limits how many bags and bulky items you can put out and how often. We take it all in one visit, from inside your home, with no bag limits or special-pickup waits.
Where do I find my city's garbage collection schedule?
Durham Region publishes weekly garbage, green bin, blue box, and yard waste schedules by address, and the City of Toronto publishes Scarborough pickup calendars the same way — search your city name plus 'waste collection calendar' and enter your address. If the city won't take it (extra bags over the limit, bulky furniture, renovation junk), missed your street, or you can't wait until next pickup day, that's exactly when to call RJR Demo & Junk at (905) 999-4426: same-day private pickup from $55, we carry it from inside your home, no bag tags or limits.
Do you do recurring pickups?
We can. Some households and small businesses book us on a regular schedule for overflow that the weekly collection cannot handle. Most jobs, though, are one-time clear-outs.
