The size of the load
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 prices a McDougall job from your photos. Small items get a firm price, and bigger jobs are confirmed on site. 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. The quote shows the travel line for McDougall.
It is a long trip, so send a photo of everything you want gone and book it as one load.
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 McDougall landfill and transfer station: which is best?
McDougall runs two sites with two sets of rules. Which one you need depends on the size of the item.
| Ravens Ridge junk removal | Transfer station, 8 Municipal Drive | Landfill, 214 McDougall Road | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Couches, fridges, stoves, metal | Put it in the photo | Not accepted | Accepted |
| Open on weekends | Yes, by arrangement | Saturday and Sunday | Second Saturday of the month only |
| Open weekday evenings | Yes, by arrangement | Friday until 6:00 pm | No. Closes at 4:00 pm |
| How you pay | One agreed price | Resident sticker required | By weight, with a $9.00 minimum under 46 kg |
| Best for | Large items, if you work weekdays or have no truck | Bagged household waste | Large loads, if you are free on a weekday |
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.
