Junk removal in Magnetawan, Ontario
Ravens Ridge Junk Removal is a South River business that provides junk removal in Magnetawan, Ontario. Magnetawan runs two landfill sites, Croft and Chapman, and each one opens on different days. You need a landfill permit card to get through the gate, and large items such as couches and mattresses are charged by the piece. Bags are manageable. A basement of old furniture is not, unless you own a trailer. Text a photo, get a quote, and Ravens Ridge loads it and takes it away.

How much does junk removal cost in Magnetawan?
Ravens Ridge Junk Removal prices every Magnetawan job from your photos. Small items get a firm price, and bigger jobs are confirmed on site. Four things decide it.
The kind of material
Furniture and mattresses are bulky but quick to load. Old dock sections, lumber and scrap metal are heavy and slower.
The way out
Lake lots often slope down from the road. Steps, a long path or a soft lane add time, so include the route to the parking spot in your photos.
The road in
Magnetawan is west of Highway 11 on Highway 520. The quote shows the travel line for Magnetawan.
Magnetawan is a drive, so it helps to have everything priced at once. Photograph every building you want cleared before you text.
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.

How waste works in Magnetawan
The Municipality of Magnetawan runs two landfill sites. The Croft Landfill Site is at 218 25th and 26th Side Road. In summer it opens Sunday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, and in winter Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. The Chapman Landfill Site is at 259 Rocky Road. In summer it opens Sunday, Monday and Saturday, and in winter Sunday and Monday. Both run from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and close on statutory holidays. Summer hours run from the Victoria Day weekend to the Thanksgiving weekend.
A landfill permit card is required to enter either site. Homes in the village of Magnetawan have curbside collection for tagged bags of household waste. Properties outside the village do not, and take their bags to a landfill. In both cases the collection is for bags. The municipality's fee list charges large items by the piece: $30 for a couch, $30 for a mattress or box spring, and $15 for a chair. You also need a vehicle that can carry them and someone to lift.
Magnetawan had a population of 1,753 in the 2021 Census. The municipality includes Ahmic Lake, Lake Cecebe and a stretch of the Magnetawan River, and the village is known for its hand-operated locks.
