Basement Cleanouts in Toronto

We do the stairs. That's the job.

Junk Pros GTA clears basements throughout Toronto from $549 per half truckload, including the stair carry from the narrow staircases and low ceilings common in the city's older housing. Most full basements are a half to full truck ($549–$799), quoted flat from photos before we arrive.

Toronto basements are older, tighter, and lower than people expect. Victorian and Edwardian houses in Riverdale, Leslieville, the Annex and Roncesvalles have basements that were never meant to be living space, six-foot ceilings, a staircase that turns hard at the bottom, and a hatch to the yard painted shut years ago. The reason people don't clear them isn't the sorting. It's the stairs.

No driveway and no back access means everything comes out the front door, down the walk, and onto the truck on the street. On the narrow one-way streets in the east and west ends we time the job around parking restrictions so you don't inherit a ticket. Low ceilings mean furniture gets taken apart down there rather than carried out whole, and that's included.

What's usually down there

Old sofas and sofa beds, a spare fridge, boxes from a move two houses ago, paint cans, and furniture that was carried in before anyone put a railing on the stairs. We take all of it, you point at what stays. Paint, solvents, and propane we can't haul, but we'll set them aside and tell you where the nearest household hazardous waste depot is.

Send two photos

A photo of the room and a photo of the staircase are what determine the crew size and give you an accurate flat price up front. That's the whole quote, no on-site surprises.

Frequently asked questions

My Toronto basement staircase is really narrow, is that a problem?

No, that's most Toronto houses. We disassemble whatever has to come apart to get it out, and it's included in the flat price.

Do I have to carry anything up from the basement first?

No. The stair carry is the job you're paying for. You point at what goes; we bring it up and out.

Is there a parking issue on my street?

Sometimes, several downtown streets have rush-hour no-stopping windows. Tell us the address and we'll schedule around any restriction.

How much does a basement cleanout in Toronto cost?

Most are a half truck at $549 or a full truck at $799. Send photos of the room and the staircase and we'll give you a flat number that doesn't move.
