Locally owned junk and rubbish removal and hauling serving White Rock, BC. Better labour prices than the big franchises, no hidden fees, and we answer our own phones.
White Rock is small, 5.12 square kilometres and about 22,000 people, and much of it is hill. It rises from the beach on Semiahmoo Bay and the Waterfront along Marine Drive up to Uptown, and the City's eight hillside walkways, 1.5 km of them, link the two. Many homes sit on steep lots with long stairs down to the street, and condos near the beach have little loading space.
Two City rules shape what people call us for. First, White Rock's curbside program does not pick up large and special items at all: the City tells residents to take them to a depot. Second, City collection is by hand, so every garbage bin has to weigh 22 kg or less. A couch, a mattress or a garage's worth of boxes isn't something the curbside crew will ever take.
We also serve South Surrey next door. It shares White Rock's nearest regional drop-off, the Central Surrey Recycling and Waste Centre, and the local detail for it is on our Surrey page.
Clearing a long-held family home, often on a sloping lot, is the typical White Rock call. We sort what the family wants kept, clear the rest, usually in a day, and work with a key or lockbox if you can't be there. Usable pieces are sometimes donated, though we can't promise it for any particular item.
Furniture, mattresses, appliances and anything else that doesn't fit a garbage bin are outside White Rock's curbside program. We carry them out of the house, and appliances go free.
On a steep lot, everything comes down the stairs to where a truck can stop. There is no extra charge for the stairs; tell us how many there are so we send enough people.
Book the elevator or loading bay with your building, send us the window, and we carry furniture and single items down from the suite. There is no extra charge for the floor.
A garage cleanout is one flat rate, whatever is in it, with the dump fees included. Scrap metal and appliances in the pile go free.
Houses on the hill. Much of White Rock is detached homes on sloping lots, many with long stairs between the house and the street. These are where downsizing clear-outs, estate clear-outs and garage clean-ups come from.
Apartments and condos, especially near the beach and in the Town Centre. The City's own housing background notes that apartments and townhouses are now the dominant housing type being built across Metro Vancouver. City waste collection covers only properties zoned for one, two or three units, so larger buildings aren't on it, and a clear-out from a suite is something you book yourself.
The Waterfront, Five Corners and Uptown are the City's own names for the areas with its restaurants, shops and services. The pier and the 2.19 km Promenade are on the Waterfront, and East Beach runs along the bay.

Two loads of the same size can be quoted differently. These are the things that change the number, in roughly the order they matter.
| Factor | What it does to the quote |
|---|---|
| How much there is | From a single item at the curb up to a full truck, as the table shows. |
| What kind of junk | Heavy material like soil and concrete is priced differently from the same volume of furniture; mattresses carry a facility charge. Appliances and scrap metal are free. |
| Stairs on a steep lot | No extra charge, however many steps there are down to the street. |
| Condo floors | No extra charge for the floor or for a building without an elevator. |
Permit parking. Parts of White Rock are Permit Parking Only, and vehicles without a permit can be ticketed or towed. If your street is signed that way, tell us so we can plan where the truck stops.
Pay parking at the Waterfront. The Waterfront, Peace Arch Hospital and Centennial Arena are pay parking zones. For a job near Marine Drive, tell us the nearest lane or loading spot.
Hills in snow. When it snows, the City clears major roads, emergency routes and bus routes first, and it barricades steep hills such as Oxford Street when they become dangerous. A hillside pickup may need to wait until the street reopens.
Stairs and slopes. On a steep lot, the carry from the house to the street is the job's longest part. It doesn't change the price, but it does change how many people we send.
None of this is required — we do the lifting. Each one either saves you money or saves us a surprise on the day.

White Rock is in Metro Vancouver, and the nearest regional drop-off is the Central Surrey Recycling and Waste Centre at 6711 154 Street in Surrey. It is billed on Metro Vancouver's schedule, shown in the fee table above, and the higher 10am–2pm weekday minimum does not apply there. The City's own Large & Special Items page lists it, along with two local return-it depots, for people taking items in themselves.
Dump fees are included in our price, so none of these charges shows up as a separate line on your bill. Usable items are sometimes donated, but we don't promise it.
Metro Vancouver bans certain materials from the garbage stream and surcharges any load that contains them, at every facility serving White Rock. That is the main reason two loads of the same size can cost different amounts: sorting before we tip is what keeps the disposal half of your quote down. Tell us if any of these are in the pile and we will plan the load around them.
These are banned from the garbage stream because they have somewhere better to go. Most are surcharged once they pass a share of the load, so separating them before the truck is tipped is what keeps a load cheap.
When it costs extra: Most are surcharged above 5% of the load, with all banned materials combined capped at 5%. Food waste is allowed to 25% and expanded polystyrene to 20%, and those two are excluded from the combined total.
These are restricted because they are dangerous to handle or they damage the facility. One item is enough for a surcharge (at least $80 at Metro Vancouver facilities), plus the potential cost of removal, clean-up or remediation.
When it costs extra: Surcharged if a single item is found in the load, plus any remediation cost.
BC's Recycling Regulation gives these their own take-back programs, so they are banned from garbage loads at the facilities. Most can be returned free at a depot, which is usually cheaper than paying to dispose of them.
When it costs extra: Surcharged if a single item is found in the load, plus any remediation cost.

Transparent pricing
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.
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.
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
No. Large and special items are not picked up as part of White Rock's curbside collection; the City tells residents to take them to a depot, and the nearest regional one is the Central Surrey Recycling and Waste Centre. We carry them out of the house and haul them away instead. (City of White Rock, checked 28 September 2026.)
One price with the dump fees included, set by how much junk there is and what kind; the pricing table above has the ranges. The stairs on a steep lot and the floor of a condo don't add to it.
Only properties zoned for one, two or three units are on the City's collection, so most condo buildings run their own. For furniture or a clear-out, book the elevator or loading bay with your building and send us the window; there's no extra charge for the floor.
Yes, with an Extra Garbage Sticker on each bag: $5.60 plus GST and PST from the City. Every bin has to weigh 22 kg or less, hold no more than 110 litres and be out by 7am, because crews lift them by hand. Anything bigger than that is a job for us. (City of White Rock, checked 28 September 2026.)
Yes. Same-day pickup is guaranteed in White Rock, as it is across Metro Vancouver, at no extra charge.
Yes. South Surrey shares White Rock's nearest regional drop-off, the Central Surrey centre, and the local detail for it is on our Surrey junk removal page.
