Booking a student rental clear-out in Hamilton
Houses in Westdale and around the university turn over at the same time each year, which means many landlords need the same few days. If you own a rental, book the clear-out as soon as you know the move-out date, and line up the clean to follow right after.
Before anything is hauled, make sure the tenant has actually left and the belongings are yours to remove. Tenancy rules in Ontario cover abandoned property; if there is any doubt, check with the Landlord and Tenant Board guidance first.
Clearing older brick homes in the lower city
Narrow stairs
Many century homes in Kirkendall, Corktown and on the lower city streets have tight basement stairs. Bulky items may need to come apart first.
Low cellars
Low ceilings slow carrying. Tell us if there is a tight spot.
Attic contents
Pull-down ladders or narrow attic stairs mean small, light loads at a time.
Old fuel oil or paint
Not taken. The City of Hamilton runs its own household hazardous waste program.
Send photos before your Hamilton lease turns over
Send photos of each room and the address. We confirm a price for the haul and whether we can fit the date before your next tenants arrive.
What we take and what we leave
Take
Couches, mattresses, bed frames, desks, chairs, bags of clothes and household goods, small appliances, TVs.
Take with notice
Heavy items such as a freezer, a washer and dryer or a pool table.
Leave
Paint, solvents, propane cylinders, batteries and car fluids. These go to the City of Hamilton's hazardous waste drop-off.
City collection and larger loads
Hamilton is a single-tier city, so garbage, bulk items and hazardous waste are run by the City itself, with its own limits. Check the City of Hamilton's current rules before putting furniture at the curb. When the volume is bigger than collection allows, or a new tenant arrives on a fixed day, one truckload is the quicker route.
Homes up the escarpment on Hamilton Mountain, in Ancaster, Dundas, Waterdown, Stoney Creek or Binbrook, are often larger and newer, and their calls look more like a garage or basement clear-out.
Your questions, answered
Before you book
Can you clear a student rental in Westdale?
Yes, on request. Send photos and the date the lease ends, and book early because many houses turn over in the same week.
How much does junk removal cost in Hamilton?
It is priced per job from photos or a list, and we confirm a firm price before booking.
Can you take a mattress?
Yes. Mattresses and box springs are one of the most common items we carry out of rental houses.
Do you take old paint from a century home basement?
No. Paint and other chemicals go to the City of Hamilton's household hazardous waste program.
Can you clean the rental after the haul?
Yes. An end-of-lease clean right after the clear-out gets the house ready for the next tenants. See our Hamilton cleaning page.
Do you have a Hamilton location?
No. We serve Hamilton on request. Send your date and we will confirm.
