How much there is

How much does junk removal cost in Kearney?
Ravens Ridge Junk Removal prices every Kearney job from your photos. Small items get a firm price, and bigger jobs are confirmed on site. These are the parts of it.
What it is
Cottage furniture, bed frames and patio sets are light but bulky. Old docks, lumber and metal are heavy and take longer to load.
The carry
Many lake properties sit below the road. Stairs, a long path or a steep lane all add time. Show the route from the door to the parking spot.
The drive in
Kearney is reached by Highway 11 and then Highway 518 from Emsdale. The quote shows the travel line for Kearney.
Kearney is a longer drive, so it makes sense to send everything at once. Photograph every room and outbuilding you want cleared.
How the quote works
Small items that a photo shows clearly get a firm price. For anything bigger, your photos give a detailed quote, and the final price is confirmed on site before anything is loaded. Pricing is by how much there is and what makes it harder to move, never by the hour. Travel is shown as its own line on the quote, so you see it before you book.
These change the price, so put them in your message or your photos:
- Upper floors, basements and stairs
- A long carry, for example 200 feet from the parking spot to the door
- Heavy material, such as concrete, soil, shingles or wet lumber
- The photos must show everything. A pile that is deeper than it looks is priced as what it is
If there is more on site than the photos showed, the extra is priced before it is loaded. If you would rather not go ahead, Ravens Ridge leaves and you owe nothing.
Junk removal vs the Kearney transfer stations: which is best?

| Hours | A time Tim confirms with you | King William: 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. Kallio: 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm |
| What you need | A phone to send a photo | A transfer station card at every visit, and clear bags |

How waste works in Kearney
The Town of Kearney does not collect garbage at the curb. Residents take it to a transfer station, where a transfer station card is required at each visit and household waste has to be in clear bags. The King William transfer station is open Friday to Tuesday from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, and the Kallio transfer station is open Friday to Tuesday from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
Kearney has a seasonal population of over 2,500, far more than its year-round one, and lakes such as Sand Lake, Loon Lake, Grass Lake, Perry Lake and Clam Lake are cottage lakes. A cottager up for a weekend has a morning window at King William or an afternoon window at Kallio, with a card in hand. For anything bigger than bags, that is a tight fit.
