How much does junk removal cost in McKellar?
Ravens Ridge Junk Removal works out one price for each McKellar job from your photos. These are the things that set it.
Type of material
Construction material is dense. Lumber and old cabinets weigh far more than the same volume of furniture, and weight is part of the price.
Access
Cottage roads off Hurdville Road and Centre Road can be narrow and steep. A pile beside the driveway is quick. A pile behind the cottage is not.
Highway 124
McKellar is a long run from South River. The travel is inside the single price you are quoted, which is why it pays to send everything at once.
Photograph the whole pile from two sides, and anything in it that might be paint, fuel or asbestos. Tim reviews photos before he prices.
