Appliance Removal in Okotoks — TJ's Junk Removal
Appliance Removal in Okotoks — Straight Talk from a Local
I'm TJ, and I run a junk removal truck out of Okotoks. If you're reading this, you've probably got an old fridge in the garage, a washer that finally gave up, or a stove that's been sitting in the basement since you renovated. I haul that stuff away — same week, no games, no hidden fees.
Okotoks isn't Calgary. We've got our own layout, our own rules, and our own set of appliance headaches. Here's what I see most often in town and how I handle it.
The Okotoks Appliance Problems I Actually See
Fridges from finished basements. A lot of homes in Cimarron, Westridge, and Mountain View have that extra fridge in the basement that's been humming along for 15 years. When it dies, nobody wants to drag it up the stairs. I do that. I've carried units up from basements all over Drake Landing too — tight corners, narrow stairwells, I've done it.
Washers and dryers in stacked units. Okotoks has a lot of townhouses and duplexes, especially around the Southridge area. Stacked laundry units are a pain to disconnect and move. I bring a second guy when needed so nothing gets banged up on the way out.
Stoves and dishwashers from kitchen renos. People in Okotoks are updating kitchens all the time — especially in older homes near the downtown core or along Northridge Drive. The old appliances have to go before the new ones arrive. I can time the pickup around your contractor's schedule.
Window AC units and dehumidifiers. Not a big deal to carry, but people forget about them. I take those too. No minimum load.
How the Job Works in Okotoks
I cover the whole town — from the new builds in Air Ranch right over to the acreages east of Highway 2. Here's the process:
- You call or text (825) 559-2766. Tell me what you've got and where in Okotoks you are.
- I give you a flat price over the phone. No trip charge, no surprise fees. What I quote is what you pay.
- I come to you — usually within 2–3 days, sometimes next day if I'm not slammed.
- I haul it out of wherever it sits — basement, garage, main floor, backyard. I bring it down stairs, through doorways, whatever it takes.
- I take it away and dispose of it properly. Freon in fridges gets handled right — I don't just dump stuff.
I'm fully insured and licensed to operate in Okotoks. I take everything to the Okotoks Recycling Centre or the Shepard landfill, depending on what it is.
What Affects the Price — Honest Answers
- Size of the appliance. A mini fridge is cheaper than a side-by-side. A chest freezer falls somewhere in between.
- Location in the house. Basement carry-up costs more than a garage pickup. If it's hooked up and I need to disconnect it, that's part of the job — I include it in the quote.
- Number of units. Got three old appliances? I'll bundle them for less per unit.
- Freon removal. Fridges and freezers need proper refrigerant handling. I include that in my price — no extra charge.
I don't charge extra for stairs, and I don't charge extra for same-week service. If you're in Okotoks, you get Okotoks pricing — not Calgary pricing with a delivery fee tacked on.
Why People in Okotoks Call Me Back
Because I show up when I say I will. I don't send a booking link and go silent. I answer my phone, I give you a straight price, and I get the job done. I've hauled appliances from condos on Elma Street, from acreages on 32 Street, and from every neighbourhood in between.
If you need an old appliance gone, call or text me at (825) 559-2766. I'll get it out of your way.
Frequently asked questions
Do you pick up from acreages outside Okotoks?
Yes, I service the whole Okotoks area including acreages east of Highway 2 and properties along 32 Street and 338 Avenue. Just tell me where you are when you call.
Will you take appliances that still work?
I will. If it still runs, I'll try to donate it. If not, I scrap it properly. Either way, it's gone from your property.
Do you disconnect gas stoves or water lines on washers?
I can disconnect standard hookups — water lines, gas lines, electrical. I'm not a licenced plumber or gasfitter, but I handle basic disconnects all the time. If it's something unusual, I'll let you know upfront.
What if my appliance is in a basement with narrow stairs?
I deal with tight basement stairs all the time in Okotoks — especially in Cimarron and Drake Landing. I bring help and dolly straps. If I can't get it out safely, I'll tell you before I start.
Can you take a fridge on the same day I call?
If I'm already in Okotoks that day and have room on the truck, yes. Otherwise, I'll get you scheduled within 2–3 days. Just call and ask.
