Junk removal in Abbotsford & Mission: what to know

Abbotsford is the largest municipality in British Columbia by area, and about 72% of its land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve. So a junk job here can be anything from a townhouse in Clearbrook to a barn on Sumas Prairie. Homes tend to be larger, with garages, sheds and yard space, which is why garage cleanouts and yard waste are the common calls.

What sends most people to a hauler is the City's cart rule. Abbotsford collects from single-family homes and duplexes with automated carts, and everything has to fit inside with the lid closed. An overflowing cart, or bags and loose items left beside it, won't be collected. Townhouses, condos, apartments, mobile home parks and businesses get no City collection at all. A couch, a garage full of boxes or a clear-out after a move doesn't fit either system, and that is the work we do.

This page also covers Mission, across the Fraser River. Mission still collects garbage in cans with a two-can limit, and it switches to automated carts in May 2027.

Both cities are in the Fraser Valley Regional District, not Metro Vancouver, so the Metro Vancouver disposal rules and fee tables on our other city pages don't apply here. Your price is set by how much junk there is and what kind, with the dump fees included.

The jobs we get called for in Abbotsford & Mission

What the cart won't take

The City collects only what fits in your cart with the lid closed, and a bigger grey cart raises your annual solid waste fees. After a move, a clear-out or a renovation, the extra bags, boxes and broken furniture are one small load for us, priced by how much there is and what kind.

Garage and shed cleanouts

Abbotsford garages and sheds tend to be big, and they fill up. A garage cleanout is one flat $699, whatever the size of the garage or how much is in it, with the dump fees included. Appliances and scrap metal in the pile go free.

Townhouse and condo move-outs

There's no City pickup for townhouses, condos or apartments, and the complex's hauler only empties the regular bins. We carry furniture and single items down from the suite, with no charge for the floor or a missing elevator. If your building has an elevator or loading bay to book, book it first and tell us the window.

Barn, workshop and outbuilding clear-outs

Old lumber, fencing, equipment and metal from farm and acreage buildings. Scrap metal and appliances are free; the rest is priced by the amount and type of material, and the walk from the building to the truck costs nothing extra. Fuel, chemicals, pesticides and full propane tanks we can't take.

Yard waste, sod and soil

The green cart takes yard trimmings every week, mixed with food scraps, but not a pile of branches, a lawn's worth of sod or leftover soil. We load and haul all three. Soil and sod are priced differently from light trimmings because they are so much heavier.

Commercial and property management

The City doesn't collect from industrial, commercial or institutional properties; businesses arrange their own hauler. We do the one-off jobs a regular bin contract doesn't cover: office and shop clear-outs, rental turnovers and job-site debris, priced by the amount and type of material. Property managers can ask about monthly invoicing and repeat pickups.

Abbotsford & Mission housing and the areas we cover

Single-family homes and duplexes are the City's curbside customers. The green cart, for food scraps and yard waste together, is collected every week; the blue recycling cart and the grey garbage cart go on alternating weeks. The City served 26,614 homes this way in 2025.

Townhouses, condos, apartments, mobile home parks and gated communities are outside City collection. The strata, landlord or property manager hires a private hauler for the regular bins, and since April 2020 the regional and City bylaws have required recycling, compostables and garbage to be collected separately at every property. A one-off clear-out, like a move-out or a locker's worth of furniture, isn't part of that contract.

Farms and acreages cover most of the city. About 72% of Abbotsford's land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, and the City counted more than 1,300 farms in 2015. Those properties come with barns, workshops and outbuildings, and clearing one is a bigger job than a garage.

McKee is the mountainside neighbourhood the City is planning around open space and trails, and the UDistrict is the area around the University of the Fraser Valley's Abbotsford campus.

Mission mixes established neighbourhoods near downtown, newer subdivisions on the hillsides, and rural acreages toward Silverdale and Hatzic, where larger lots mean yard waste, dirt removal and full garage and shed clear-outs.

What moves the price in Abbotsford & Mission

Two loads of the same size can be quoted differently. These are the things that change the number, in roughly the order they matter.

FactorWhat it does to the quote
How much there isFrom a single item at the curb up to a full truck, as the table shows.
What kind of junkSoil, sod and concrete are priced differently from the same volume of furniture because they weigh so much more. Appliances and scrap metal are free.
Garage cleanoutsOne flat rate, $699, for any garage and any amount.
Hot tubs and pianosPianos are quoted per item on the specialty row, $100 to $300. Hot tubs are quoted per tub, and you disconnect the power first.
The walk from the barn or the suiteNo extra charge, whether it's a long carry across an acreage or a third-floor walk-up.

Getting a truck to your door in Abbotsford & Mission

Driveways and street parking. The City doesn't allow parking within 1.5 metres of either side of a driveway, or on a sidewalk or boulevard. If the pile is at the curb, tell us where a truck can stop without blocking anyone.

Cul-de-sacs. Cars in a cul-de-sac have to park parallel to the curb, and the City notes that many cul-de-sacs aren't designed for street parking at all. Clear space in the driveway if you can.

Historic Downtown. Street parking is time-limited (15 minutes, 2 hours or 3 hours, 9am to 6pm daily), with a few 15-minute loading zones. For a shop or an upstairs suite downtown, tell us the nearest side street or lane.

After snow. The City clears arterial roads, transit routes, school zones and the main access to hillside areas first; local streets come third. After a snowfall, a hillside or cul-de-sac pickup may need to wait until the street is clear. Residents have to clear their own sidewalks within 24 hours of the snow stopping, which also clears the path to your door.

Acreages. Tell us how far the barn or workshop is from where the truck can park, and whether the lane is gravel.

How to get ready for the crew in Abbotsford & Mission

None of this is required — we do the lifting. Each one either saves you money or saves us a surprise on the day.

  • If the problem is regular household garbage every week, compare a bigger cart first: the City offers a 360-litre grey cart, though a larger garbage cart raises your annual solid waste fees.
  • Keep bagged garbage and anything that smells of food in the garage until the crew arrives. The City asks that carts go out only between 5am and 7am on collection day, because bears and other wildlife come for curbside waste.
  • In Mission, extra garbage bags can go out on your regular pickup day only with a $5.75 sticker on each, and nothing should go out the night before.
  • In a townhouse or condo, book the elevator or loading bay with your strata first, then send us the window.
  • Set aside drywall, anything that may contain asbestos, paint, fuel and chemicals; we don't take them. Empty propane tanks can go with the load.
  • Photograph the pile and the route out, and attach the photos to your quote request.

Transparent pricing

One price, dump fees included.

Your junk removal price covers the crew, the truck and the dump fees. We confirm it before any work starts, so there are no surprise charges when the truck arrives.

As a new, locally-owned business, we keep our labour rates competitive to earn your trust — better prices than the big franchises.

Labour — the crew

Our crews do the lifting, carrying, and loading. Because we are locally owned and not paying for a national franchise name, our labour rates run below the big brands. You get the same work done for less.

Dump fees — included

The price is set by how much junk there is and what kind it is. The dump and recycling fees are already in it, so there is no separate disposal charge on your bill, and no extra charge for stairs or upper floors.

Questions

Straight answers

How much does junk removal cost in Abbotsford?

One price with the dump fees included, set by how much junk there is and what kind. The pricing table above has the ranges, from a single item at the curb to a full truck, and a garage cleanout is a flat $699. There's no extra charge for stairs, floors or a long carry.

Will the City of Abbotsford pick up extra garbage or furniture?

Not beyond your carts. The City collects only what fits in your carts with the lids closed; an overflowing cart, or bags and loose items beside it, won't be collected. It offers larger 360-litre carts, though a bigger garbage cart raises your annual solid waste fees. Furniture and clear-out loads are outside the curbside program, which is where we come in. (City of Abbotsford, checked 28 September 2026.)

I live in a townhouse or condo in Abbotsford. Who takes my junk?

The City doesn't collect from townhouses, condos, apartments, mobile home parks or gated communities; your strata or landlord arranges a private hauler for the regular bins. For anything bigger, like furniture or a move-out, book us directly. Book the elevator or loading bay with your building first and tell us the window. There's no extra charge for the floor.

Do you offer same-day junk removal in Abbotsford or Mission?

Our same-day guarantee covers Metro Vancouver, and Abbotsford and Mission are outside it. Call or text us and we'll give you our first available time.

Do you clear barns, workshops and acreages?

Yes: old lumber, fencing, equipment and metal from farm and acreage buildings. Scrap metal and appliances are free; the rest is priced by the amount and type of material, and the walk from the building to the truck costs nothing extra. We can't take fuel, chemicals, pesticides or full propane tanks.

Do you cover Mission too?

Yes. This page covers Mission, from downtown to Silverdale and Hatzic. Mission's own curbside program takes two 80-litre garbage cans every second week, and extra bags can go out only with a $5.75 sticker on each. It switches to automated carts in May 2027. (City of Mission, checked 28 September 2026.)

What won't you take?

Drywall, anything that may contain asbestos, and hazardous waste such as paint, fuel, solvents, pesticides and full propane tanks. Empty propane tanks can go with the load. Electronics go through our e-waste pickup, priced separately, and tires are priced like the rest of the load.

Should I put everything at the curb the night before?

No. Leave it in the garage or the house; we carry it out. The City of Abbotsford asks that carts go out only between 5am and 7am on collection day because curbside waste draws bears and other wildlife, and Mission asks the same for its 5am to 8am window.
