The quantity
A lone recliner from a house off Bowes Street is a small load. A waterfront cottage being emptied before a sale is a large one, and may take more than one trip.
Ravens Ridge Junk Removal is an owner-run business that provides junk removal in Parry Sound, Ontario, from its base in South River, at the other end of Highway 124. Parry Sound picks up bagged garbage at the curb, and large items are left to the resident. Ravens Ridge carries those out and hauls them away. You get one price from your photos, travel included, before anyone sets out.
Ravens Ridge Junk Removal prices each Parry Sound job from your photos and quotes one figure that already covers the trip. Four things shape it.
A lone recliner from a house off Bowes Street is a small load. A waterfront cottage being emptied before a sale is a large one, and may take more than one trip.
Furniture, mattresses and heavy household goods are the pieces that weekly collection leaves behind, and they are the slowest to move safely.
A ground-floor door onto a driveway is straightforward. Stairs up from Georgian Bay, a long path, or a cottage with limited road access all add carrying time.
Parry Sound is the farthest town Ravens Ridge serves. The travel is built into the one price you are quoted.
Because of the distance, it makes sense to send everything in one go. Photograph every item and every room you want cleared.
The Town of Parry Sound gives each household a little help with large items once a year. Beyond that, it is up to you.
| Ravens Ridge junk removal | Using the transfer station yourself | |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly garbage | Not what Ravens Ridge is for | Two free bags at the curb, and up to four more with $5 tags |
| Large items | Carried out of the house and loaded | Your vehicle, to 57 MacFarlane Street |
| How often | Whenever you book | One free transfer station coupon per household each year |
| Lifting | Done for you | Yours, at both ends |
| Best for | Several large items, whole rooms and cottage clear-outs | One tagged item a year, if you can move it |
The Town of Parry Sound provides weekly curbside pick-up of garbage. A single home is allowed two free bags, plus up to four more bags with prepaid tags at $5 each. There is no curbside program for bulky items. Those go to the town transfer station at 57 MacFarlane Street, and every resident receives one free transfer station coupon a year for items that need tags. Check the town's site for the transfer station's current hours and fees before you go.
Neighbouring McDougall runs its own transfer station at 8 Municipal Drive, for McDougall residents only. Its posted hours show it closed on Wednesday and Thursday, and its fee page sets a minimum charge of $9.00 on loads under 46 kg.
One free coupon covers one problem item. It does not cover a basement, and it does nothing about getting a sleeper sofa up the stairs and into a vehicle that can carry it.
Town of Parry Sound and Municipality of McDougall details checked against their websites on September 21, 2026. Highway 124 details from the Ontario Highway 124 article on Wikipedia. Rules and fees change, so confirm with your municipality.
