Junk Removal in Moncton: Pickup or Hire a Hauler

Choose municipal pickup or a private crew

Start by counting your items and checking your property’s eligibility. The City’s year-round bulk program accepts furniture such as couches, mattresses and tables, as well as listed appliances. It limits each pickup to five items and does not accept black garbage bags. Check your address’s zone and collection date before choosing a removal deadline. [1]

Compare that route with the work you need done inside the home. Ask a private crew to quote for carrying items from the basement, dismantling furniture if needed and loading from the agreed location. Tell the crew about stairs, narrow doorways, parking and anything you cannot move yourself. Get those tasks into the written scope before accepting the price.

For a mixed cleanout, consider splitting the job. You could book eligible furniture for municipal collection and request a separate quote for the remaining items. Keep a written list for each route so the crew knows what to remove and what to leave. [1]

Prepare for the booked collection date

For municipal bulk pickup, place items at the curb between 7 pm the evening before collection and 6 am on collection day. Use the street corresponding to the civic address you booked, including at a corner property. The City collects metal items separately, generally the day after the scheduled collection. [1]

Clear a suitable staging area before moving anything outside. The City says it will not collect waste from the top of ice or a snowbank, or from an area that you have not cleared of snow. For a private pickup, agree on the loading location and clear the carrying route before the crew arrives. [4]

Photograph the items before collection and label anything nearby that must stay. If you arrange a municipal pickup and a private crew for the same cleanout, give each a distinct item list. Keep items inside until you have confirmed the collection arrangements and staging time.

Separate hazardous items and uncertain debris

Eco360’s permanent household hazardous-waste depot accepts residential household hazardous waste for free. Its examples include chemicals, batteries, CFL bulbs, fuel propane tanks and paint. Residents can also use its Mobile Eco-Depots according to their schedule. Eco360 excludes hazardous waste from businesses and commercial clients. [3]

Keep those items on a separate list and ask about their route before handing them to a hauler. If a crew offers to transport them, confirm the receiving facility and its acceptance requirements. Confirm whether the residential depot will accept a paid hauler’s delivery before including that trip in the job. [3]

Confirm concrete acceptance before booking municipal collection. The City’s bulk page names concrete among construction materials, but also lists concrete and rocks as non-collectable. For other listed construction materials and branches, it specifies bundles no longer than four feet and no heavier than 50 pounds. Call the bulk program at 506-383-7020 with your material list to resolve the concrete question before staging it. [1]

Compare quotes and disposal charges

Ask each hauler to price the same photographed inventory. Request a total that states whether loading, dismantling, transport, disposal and applicable taxes are included. Ask how the crew will handle additional items and whether it will seek your approval before increasing the price. If the quote uses a truck fraction, ask for the truck’s capacity and how the crew measures your load.

Eco360’s 2026 commercial fee table lists CAD 135 per metric tonne for industrial, commercial and institutional landfill waste, CAD 55 for sorted recyclables and organics, CAD 55 for non-sorted construction and demolition material, and CAD 20 for sorted construction and demolition material. These are facility disposal rates. Ask the hauler which material category applies and whether it includes disposal in its quote. [2]

For renovation debris, ask whether the crew will separate materials and which facility will receive them. Eco360 says it accepts properly sorted construction, demolition and renovation waste at its secure construction and demolition site for a reduced tipping fee. Ask how the hauler accounts for sorting in your quote; a lower facility rate alone does not establish your total removal bill. [2]

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the City collect my couch or mattress?

Moncton lists couches, mattresses and bed springs among accepted bulk items. Check property eligibility, book for your neighbourhood’s collection date and stay within the five-item limit. Arrange help if you cannot carry the item to the curb. [1]

How much should I budget for a private hauler?

Request written quotes for your actual load and access conditions. Ask each crew to include carrying, loading, transport, disposal and applicable taxes in its total. Eco360’s commercial rates cover facility disposal per metric tonne; use them to ask about disposal charges rather than to budget the complete removal service. [2]

Can I put propane tanks beside an old barbecue?

The City accepts barbecues through bulk collection but excludes propane tanks. Eco360 lists fuel propane tanks among household hazardous waste. Keep the tank separate and confirm the residential depot or Mobile Eco-Depot arrangements. [1] [3]

Should I sort renovation debris before requesting a quote?

Ask the hauler how it wants the debris separated before you move it. Eco360 publishes different rates for sorted and non-sorted construction and demolition material. Confirm the material category and receiving facility, then ask whether the quote includes sorting and disposal. [2]
