How much does junk removal cost in North Bay?
Ravens Ridge Junk Removal prices every North Bay job from your photos. Small items get a firm price, and bigger jobs are confirmed on site. Four things set it.
What it is
North Bay does not collect oversized items at the curb, so the heavy pieces are the ones that need another way out: couches, mattresses and old furniture.
Stairs and access
A third-floor apartment, a basement with a tight turn, or a camp on Trout Lake with no road to the door all make the carry longer, which changes the price. Show it in your photos.
The drive from South River
North Bay is about 60 km north of South River. The quote shows the travel line for North Bay.
Because of the drive, it makes sense to send several items at once. Send a photo of everything you want gone.
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 taking it to Merrick Landfill yourself: which is best?
North Bay has good weekly collection for ordinary garbage. The gap is anything too big for a bag.
| Ravens Ridge junk removal | Taking it to Merrick Landfill | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting it out of the house | Carried out and loaded for you | Your lifting, down your stairs |
| Vehicle | Truck and trailer supplied | A truck or trailer you own, borrow or rent |
| The trip | None for you | About 21 km from downtown, off Highway 11, and back |
| A mattress or box spring | Part of your quote | $30.00 per piece at the landfill |
| An appliance with refrigerant | Put it in the photo and Tim will tell you if it can go | $25.00 at the landfill |
| Best for | Several large items, full rooms, and anyone without a truck | One or two items, if you already have the vehicle |
What North Bay collects, and what it leaves
The City of North Bay allows two bags or containers per household each week, with tags at $2.00 each for up to four more. Oversized garbage is not picked up at the curb. The city's guidance is that it must be taken to the Merrick Landfill.
Merrick Landfill is at 4 Sand Dam Road, about 21 km from downtown North Bay, off Highway 11. It is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Residential loads start at $10.00 for six bags or fewer, and larger residential loads are $25.00. Mattresses and box springs are $30.00 per piece, and appliances with refrigerant are $25.00. The landfill does not accept electronics, corrugated cardboard, liquid waste or hazardous waste.
For someone with a pickup, that is a reasonable Saturday errand. For someone in an apartment, or with a car and a bad back, the landfill fee is the small part of the problem. Getting a sofa down the stairs and 21 km out of town is the large part.
