A couch and a chair from a house in Nobel is a small job. A lakefront place on Mill Lake or Portage Lake cleared ahead of a sale is a trailer or more.

How much does junk removal cost in McDougall?
Ravens Ridge Junk Removal quotes a McDougall job as one price from your photos. The landfill charges by weight. Ravens Ridge does not ask you to guess a weight. These are what set the price.
How heavy it is
Furniture is bulky but light. Metal, lumber and renovation waste weigh much more for the space they take.
Getting it out
A garage at road level is quick. A basement, a second floor, or a lake lot with a long walk to the driveway takes longer.
Highway 124
McDougall is at the far end of Highway 124 from South River. Travel is inside the price you are quoted.
It is a long trip, so send a photo of everything you want gone and book it as one load.

How waste works in McDougall
McDougall does not offer curbside pickup. Residents need a current sticker or permit to use either municipal site. The transfer station at 8 Municipal Drive, off Nobel Road, is open Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Saturday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and closed Wednesday and Thursday. It does not accept large items such as metal, couches, boats, fridges and stoves.
Those go to the landfill at 214 McDougall Road, which is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, and on the second Saturday of each month for McDougall residents. The landfill fees are by weight: $150.00 per tonne for household waste, $150.00 for sorted wood construction and demolition waste, $196.00 for shingles and $267.00 for mixed construction waste, with a $9.00 minimum on loads under 46 kg.
For anyone who works a weekday job, that leaves one Saturday a month to get rid of a couch, and a truck still has to be found to carry it.
